Now that the leaves have well and truly changed colour and their spread on the trees is starting to thin, it’s time to dig out the winter woollies and put our summery wear to the back of the wardrobe.
In Ambridge there have been some significant changes in appearance but these aren’t down to the nights drawing in and the days feeling chillier.
Firstly, at Bridge Farm Helen has had a clear out – with the help of Lilian – after Rob bagged up all of her and Henry’s things that were still at Blossom Hill Cottage. It was a bumper day for the charity shops of Borchester once Helen was finished. Helen remarked that Rob always wanted her to wear heavier fabrics. So, her donations should be just what they want on display at this time of year. Now, she’s ditched the clothes Rob imposed on her she’s got the space to refresh her wardrobe. Some key items that complement the trendy hair cut she had while in the mother and baby unit maybe?
Roy is another Ambridge resident who has been making changes when it comes to clothes. As he prepared to launch himself into the online dating world, housemate Kirsty offered up some advice on his ‘look’. To attract the right woman he’d have to ditch the Aston Villa shirt and the trousers that made him look like a granddad. Now, he’s in chinos and polo shirts – though if it was down to Archers listeners, who knows how his restyle could have ended up!

Lastly, in the privacy of his own home, Neil has been trying out a new way of being; reclining, in his dressing gown, while an avocado face mask works its magic on his weathered features. “You do look funny, just those googly eyes peeking out!” said Susan who joined him in beauty regime. Neil didn’t seem to mind, in fact the experience made him feel rather amorous and as they giggled together Susan exclaimed, “you’ll get avocado everywhere!”
Unfortunately for Neil, his wife's not the only one who has witnessed his foray into the world of face masks. When the doorbell rang they thought it was Emma, but it was in fact Shula. Under those green masks the Carters must have been turning crimson. Shula was equally lost of words. Though maybe it’s an idea she could take home to Alistair?
