Let there be Christmas light! Charlie could use some advice.
Matthew the new contract milker settles in at Brookfield - he has done a few milkings now and seems to need no hand-holding. In fact, David's keen to see whether Matthew might pass on any handy hints. Pip invites Matthew for a drink at the Bull for its reopening. The Christmas lights are switched on and Kenton surprises everyone by turning up on a sleigh, with reindeer, and reminding people to book for Christmas at the Bull! Kenton admits he owes Jolene everything for putting up with him over the last year - he vows to give her the best 2016. He also suggests a joint stag do at the Bull for Ian and Adam. Toby is handing out flyers and Adam reminds Toby of his interest in soil - offering to fill Toby in and give him lots of literature he brought back from his farm visit.
Charlie tells Adam that he has been offered a redeployment. Adam's stunned when he learns it's in Perthshire. Charlie asks whether he should go - or perhaps try to find a job somewhere closer to home. Adam admits he doesn't know what to say.
