Picking damsons for Jim\u2019s jellies, Alistair and Jazzer discuss Alistair\u2019s living arrangements. Jim has been bending over backwards to make Denise welcome and comfortable, but it\u2019s not ideal for them. Yet Alistair feels moving in with her now wouldn\u2019t be right with his Dad getting older. Kirsty greets them as she passes to put a poster up in the shop. She is advertising for a house-mate now that Roy has left, as she can\u2019t afford Willow Farm on her own. \nDenise visits Kirsty to view the property. Kirsty misses Roy\u2019s company and enjoys sharing. Denise wonders what it will be like to have her own space again after so many years of marriage. Over at Greenacres, Jim, Jazzer and Alistair reminisce about their own house share. Jim suggests Alistair redecorates to put his own stamp on Greenacres. Denise joins them to tell them the news: if Roy agrees, she would love to move in with Kirsty. \nWith rain approaching, Will and Ed are apprehensive about getting their work done before the storm and arrange to meet for a drink later. Ed hopes George\u2019s break at the seaside cheers him up but Will is cagey about the trip details. Later in The Bull, Will confesses that he felt like an amateur at Bridge Farm, making mistakes and causing stress at the harvest. His mind is on other things. Ed reminds Will that Emma\u2019s GCSE results come out tomorrow and that he should join them for a drink and cake, they should be celebrating not worrying.
