Description
At Bridge Farm, Helen’s impressed when Tony shows her what a good job Henry’s done trimming the goat’s hooves. They talk about the new buck arriving on Thursday and how committed Henry is to looking after it. Henry’s told Tony they’ll be having roast goat for dinner within eighteen months – he’s clearly growing up to be a farmer and planning ahead.
Later, Tony asks Helen about the Beechwood house. Helen’s had the surveyor in and may need to negotiate a lower price with Kirsty, but her real problem is her ambivalence about living somewhere that’s like suburbia. She might start looking at other options. Tonys says they’d be welcome to move back in with him and Pat. Tony’s dream is to one day build and move into an eco-house at Bridge Farm, but admits it’s probably pie in the sky.
At Woodbine Fallon tells Harrison she doesn’t want to go ahead with her new café, now she’s being offered an inferior unit. When Jolene drops in she offers help financially, admitting it’s a change of heart after turning Fallon down months ago. That was because of Markie though, and the dog attack on Kenton. Jolene asks Fallon and Harrison to at least think about her offer. Harrison then suggests he could talk to his parents about a loan and put in for regular overtime. But Fallon insists he’s completely stressed by work already. They’re not going to try and make it happen at all costs. She’s turning down the unit and that’s that.
