The Archers: 4/4/2012

Synopsis:

The atmosphere at Home Farm is strained. Meanwhile Pip seeks photogenic fowl.

David and Josh are busy clearing the site for the slurry tank. Eddie shows up and gives them a hand with moving some tyres. Pip and Ruth stop by on their way to collect eggs and take photographs of the hens to put onto the Brookfield blog. Eddie notices that Josh is a good worker and sportsman and reflects on how he thinks George will be similar.

Pip says she’ll update the blog if she has time before going to Young Farmers. She thinks most of the conversation will revolve around lambing, seeing as Schmallenberg’s on everyone’s minds.

At the deer barn, Brian’s trying to create a relaxed working atmosphere. He tells Adam that for once he’s remembered to buy Jennifer an Easter egg in good time, and also about the Parish Council’s interest on the BL land for a five-a-side pitch. Later at the polytunnels, Adam tells Jennifer that he’s finding it difficult to act naturally with Brian and he can tell Brian’s making a big effort. Adam’s admits hoping that something will turn up and derail the whole damned dairy project.
