Susan can't wait to see the Duchess of Cornwall. She's even closing the Post Office for an hour.

The first lambs are delivered at Brookfield without a problem. David's back from Lower Loxley for the day but Ewan calls from Scotland to say he definitely wants the bull, General. David arranges to take him tomorrow, believing he can drive back on Thursday in good time for Pip's 18th birthday party. Ruth's furious. He can't ruin her birthday morning, and what about the car? Someone's got to collect it tomorrow and hide it in the barn. There's too much to do. David postpones his trip till next week. Ruth's worried it's all getting too much for him. He's running himself ragged. David doesn't want to talk about it.

Caroline and Roy prepare the Darrington Room for tomorrow. With everything in place, Caroline's only worry is whether she can keep Lynda under control.
