It is the SAVE jumble sale, and David is exhausted with lambing.
Clarrie measures Emma for her wedding dress and starts to pin the material.
Jill worries about exhausted David, who is very busy lambing while Ruth gets everything sorted with Hadley Haugh. He's snappy with Jill and then apologises. Yes, he's tired but he has to just get on with it.
Jill remembers how pleased Phil was when David set up the Hereford beef herd.
Watching the Herefords graze, David finds himself talking to them - apologizing for the upheaval of the move and wrestling with his conscience. In this moment, David can hear the voice of his father, Phil, who had to face the prospect of Brookfield going in a very different direction. Phil spoke of how committed David was to the farm. Hearing Phil's voice, David becomes emotional.
David is suddenly desperate to get to the jumble sale before it ends. Susan and Clarrie are sorting through what's left of the jumble. David asks desperately after a toy farm that was for sale. Clarrie mentions that a lady called Janice, or Janet, from Grange Spinney may have bought it. Susan knew her from coming into the shop a few times. It's David's old toy farm.
Jill understands why he's so keen to not lose it. They set off to track it down. David is so grateful. He wants to keep his farm.
