Graham Ryder from Rodways arrives to value Brookfield. He suggests splitting the land into two separate lots for extra value, and selling the house separately. It would give David and Ruth more options. David remembers the fields they walk on being bought from Meadow Farm by Phil. They spot Adam in the distance and quickly move on.

Graham values Brookfield in the region of £4.5 million - a conservative estimate, he admits to a slightly disappointed David. There are few decent farms for sale anywhere in the country. So once David and Ruth find the one they like up near Prudhoe, they'll need to move quickly.

Carol tells Peggy all about the latest developments at Glebe Cottage. Bert has been wonderful and she's rewarding him with a trip to the garden centre with tea and cake.

Peggy and Jill get Carol talking about her last days with John, as well as her children Richard and Anna. She'd like to see Anna more often. Richard is more of a stranger. Carol moves the conversation on to Peggy's birthday. What better excuse for a party?

Carol reminds Peggy to think about her idea of forming a bridge club. Jill hopes that Graham will be safely gone when she gets back to Brookfield. Jill admits she feels confused. She'd hate to leave Ambridge, but if Brookfield's going to be sold off, Jill's not sure she could bear to stay.
