Darrell is making some business calls in his garden when he is disturbed by Brenda. He's worried she has overheard the nature of his conversation and will tell Matt and Lillian he is looking for word from other companies.

Darrell continues his repair work at the Walters' house. Arthur is not impressed with Matt's money-saving techniques. Over a cup of tea, Darrell tells Arthur about the prospect of working on the church restoration job at Fawcett Magna. Darrell is excited by the chance to use his specialist carpentry skills. But Arthur is worried what will happen if Darrell leaves the repairs at the Walters' house to Matt.

Jim and Oliver indulge in a spot of bird watching. They discuss impressive birds they have spotted before and Oliver is deflated by Jim's extensive knowledge. When Oliver wrongly identifies a moorhen, he is annoyed by Jim's suggestion that it is an easy mistake for a beginner. The friendly competition continues when both reveal their plans to have a go at bread making for the flower and produce show.

Brenda pops round to Willow Farm on her lunch break to see Vicky and offer her support with the pregnancy.
