Characters: David, Eddie, George, Marjorie, Ruth, Shula, William

• Shula’s getting set for a busy few weeks and is about to give up the morning milking, although for David’s sake she will carry on in the afternoon’s.
• Ruth’s facing the realisation (and the financial implications) of Pip’s first day at school on Wednesday, a new life away from her mother with new shoes and a new bag – and she’s heard her new sibling’s heart beat and is excited, if a little unsure, about it!
• William’s spending lots of time with Ginger Spice, Eddie’s impressed and thinks they’ll do well, although he’s more concerned with getting the Jerseys through they debut use of the new mailing parlour. William thinks Ginger Spice is ill, but Eddie’s too busy to pay attention.
• George is checking on Marjorie, who is coping well, apart from one particular stolen item – a momento of Teddy, her late husband. George is convinced that Clive had a had in it somewhere, although Marjorie isn’t convince, Eddie suggests her traveller visits which gets a similar reaction.
