Rob wishes Helen had told him about Tina leaving the shop straight away. He suggests that Helen should take the shop on again herself. He's even prepared to put marriage and baby plans on hold if she wants to see how it goes.

Phoebe asks Hayley if there's any hope for her and Roy. Hayley admits she has a lot of things to sort out in her head - and her heart.

Jill remembers Phil and Jethro laying a hedge, which Phil took great pride in and David is now marveling at. David feels he should try and work some stipulations into the contract for Justin Elliott, to preserve some of the wildlife.

David helps Jill with a heavy trunk and digs out some old exercise books. They turn out to be Dan Archer's old farm diaries from the 1920s. David's absorbed. The winter of 1920 was a tough one, with lakes frozen over. Jill and David discover that Brookfield Dairy started in 1930. The diary entries bring Dan and Doris to life. David's not throwing these away.

Jill remarks on the passing on of knowledge - Dan to Phil and Phil to David. Now David is passing it on to Pip. How exciting that they can do the same at Hadley Haugh, as Phil and Dan did at Brookfield.
