I just wanted to hand over these brownies. Homemade Ema's favorite. That's really kind to you. Thanks. I'm sure she'll be thrilled. Is she in by any chance? No, sorry, you're still at work. I thought you said she'd be off today. She was supposed to be, but she' swapped a shift with a mate. Oh, o You can come in if you want to wait for her. She'll be back in about an hour I don't know. That might seem a bit too much. What do you think? Up to you I know I should have messaged to check. It was a good time. If I'm honest with you, George, I worry she would make an excuse not to see me if she had any warning of me turning up. I don't know about that. I thought she messaged you yesterday. Oh, I couldn't accuse her ignoring us. She almost always replies to our messages, but usually only with a word or two. or a thumbs up And of course she sent her dad a Father's dayay card. In fact, it's arrived early, but there's no chance she was going to come and actually see us on Sunday. Yeah, well, she's been busy. I know. he said. Yeah So I think I'll just leave these brownies and get going. Okay. maybe I could get a quick glass of water before I drive back No need to tidy up. Don't worry on my account. Right How's the bedroom coming on We ready for the baby? The shelving unit's finished and the cot's in place looks really nice You'll have to let us know what else you need Bill and I would love to get something for the baby. What about one of those things for over the cot A mobile? Yeah. I remember my sister Kira having one that played the same thing over and over again. It got her to sleep but it kept me awake. I swear, I can still hear that tune sometimes D you think this hanging basket's had enough water yet? I think it can take a bit more, Tracy. Really give it a good soaking. I saw the baskets at the three tnons were looking a bit sorry for themselves. I'll told Jolelen you said that she'll be delighted. H. Oh look, Helen's car turning under the green. Yep We're properly officially neighbours now. how's that going? Okay. She seems very happy to have a place of her own again. Can you reach the next basket or do you want to move the ladder first? U I can reach it as long as you hold it steady, ye. It's nice to have neighbours you can have a chat with at the front door Well, you know, it's good to protect your privacy too. Yeah. Though Helen's unlikely to want to be in and out of our house anyway. I bet she has a rotor of chores, T tables for everything. We're like chalk and cheese, order versus chaos. I don't know. Jack's no stranger than chaos I can tell you that. He's a lively little lad, that's for sure How are you finding working at the dairy? Oh love it. Helen's a good boss, and I'm sure we'll rub along fine as neighbours. forgot my way, you'd stop making that pesky cheese and do more shifts here. I preferred it when you were at the bulls beckon C. Oh I could still do plenty of shifts here. Just not in the week Fallon's book, do. Is that when Arison comes back it is? She wants to give him her undivided attention. Oh That's so sweet a proper pair of love birds. And while they're busy love birding, we're woefully under staffed. I can probably fit in some evenings, but Helen got to me first. She needs us to start on a huge cheese order that week and I promised her I could work full time. Don't worry, Tracy, I'm sure we'll get salted. There's always agency staff as a last resort. But June is also busy season at Aams side Alright, that's enough. I'm coming down. You got a good grip on the ladder, Lillian, ye? I have. I was talking to Adam in the shop this morning. You know he's not working at home farirm anymore? Yes, I've heard about it from both sides, Brian and Adam. So what about traading him up to do a few shifts at the ball He might actually look quite good behind the bar, but I can't see him in the kitchen. Why not? Sure he's picked up some of Ian's culinary skills over the years. Hello, Kira. Oh Hi. How are you getting on? Good day of school. It was alright. Now Kira, this is good timing. I've been meaning to have a chat with you about your work experience with us next week. We're incredibly busy at Aamside, so it'll be wonderful to have another pair of willing hands. Oh, filling envelopes, baking coffee. Don't listen to her, Kira. I have got some very exciting things lined up for you. Sorry, can I come and see you another time? It's just I've got to get this homework sheet off Henry. Yes, no, no problem, darling. I'll catch you later I don't want to take up any more of your time, George. I should head off. Okay. I'm sorry. She's usually home by now Oh, unless that's from her now It is. hold on. uh Sorry, A Marie. She says she's going to get something to eat with one of her mates at work. well, never't mind. But thanks to the bronies, No wonder Aber loves them. They're delicious It's not been a complete waste of a trip then. Nah, notot at all. And I'm pleased we've had this chat. Hopefully things will be a bit less awkward for Amber,ough, you know, if you and me are getting on alright. I hope so too I think it's actually been hard for her caught in the middle, trying to keep everyone happy. Well, things have certainly improved since she reached out to us about the Borchester show Bill and I were encouraged she felt she could ask. Yeah. We're grateful Gordons of Borchester took a stand. Oh Bill thinks it'll be fantastic for business. We've been extremely impressed so far with the whole thing David Ach you rang to speak to Bill yesterday to talk it through Did he say anything to you about up griding to the Platinum sponsorship? No What does that entail? It's an extra charge obviously, but you get loads for your money, lunch at the president's table, mentions on socials, ten guest passes, an advert on the show ring banner, showouts on the Tanooy as well as a write up in the Borchester Echo show pullout Can you email me the details? Of course. Thank you. I'll take a look. That's not all though. The best thing is you get a dedicated house for the day And might that host be Amber? Yes. Well, probably, almost certainly, if that would seal the deal Let me talk it through with Bill, but I'm pleased you mentioned it to me. It's definitely worth considering. Great, Brilliant. Thank you. But maybe don't say anything to Amber yet. I don't want her to get a hopees up if Bill doesn't agree to it We need to put in an order for more of those local gins. they're flying out. Oh It's the season for it. Really? I always think of GNT as san season. Does that mean you're happy to drink it all year round? That's exactly what it means, darling. Good afternoon. afternoon. What can I get you? U A soda with a slice of lime, please. Coming up What brings you to Ambridge? Business or pleasure? A bit of both. Are you here often? It's just, I feel like I've met you before. My daughter lives in the village and people often say we look alike. Maybe that's it. Oh now, there's a challenge. Can I guess who your daughter is? Don't tell me. Amber Gordon. I bet you're Amber's mum. I am yes. I just dropped some brownies off with her fiance, George. Oh, pleased to meet you. I'm Tracy Horbin and your daughter's fea is my great nephew. I'm Anne Marie, and it's very nice to meet some of George's family An's been so warmly welcomed into the fold. Ohh, well, she's a lovely girl. She rolled up her sleeves and settled into village life even before George came back. Tracy, I've just spotted Kira walking on the green. Will you hold a forart for me? I always do Hey. Kera. Wait. What is it, George? Are you walking home? Yeah, boy? I might as well walk with you. Amber's eating out, so Clari inviting me for sausage Mash and Yorkshire puddings. I'd rather walk on my own.. no. What? Okay, you can walk with me, but we have to go now. Hara. Are you avoiding her or something? No, kind of. Yeah. I should be the one running away from Ly and not you. I just don't know what to say to her. D' be daft. You're far smarter than Lily in all her stuck up family you Why, what have I done no? veryer funny. It's actually your sister I'm after. Now I was worried that Trace's very unhelpful joke about envelope stuffping might have put you off. so I just wanted to let you know what I actually have in store for you next week. Great. She's very excited, aren't you? G. Well on Monday, I'll get you up to speed on our sites and social media T toards the end of the week, I should be able to arrange some property viewing appointments for us and maybe cheyar an. And of course, you'll be answering the phone too, so not an envel open sight. Sounds greatay, A Kira? I don't think I'll be very good at answering phones. Don't listen to her Lilian, she's always saying she isn't good at something, then goes and smashes it Oh I'm rubbish at football and then she scores like a hat trick or something. and on her last report she got predicted an eight for her GCSC English. That's only predicted. Doesn't mean I'm gonna get it? I'm sure you will. Congratulations. I know, right? And she has a whole year left so she could even get a nine. How do you even know what my report said? Because mum hasn't stopped going on about it. Literally everyone endlessly. It sounds like we'll be wanting to keep you for longer than a week, Kira. I need to thank you clever mum for coming up with the idea. Ohy I just wish she'd ask me first. Kira. That'd be so rude. Sorry, Lillian. you know what teenage girls are like? All right, George. I don't know what her problem is, but don't take it personal Whatever I say to her, she acts like I've just ruined her life. I honestly don't know what I've done to make her hate me. Maybe just give us a minute And I sit down. Okay So you've annoyed your brother, he thinks you hate him. I don't hate him. I just don't particularly like him. Sorry I walked off. It's okay
