Jennifer adds some finishing touches, while Eddie works on a repair.

Adam and Ian find Jennifer at Home Farm adding a few homely touches to the caravans for the fruit pickers. Adam heads off to collect the pickers from the airport and Jennifer and Ian discuss the red velvet cake he's making for her and Brian's 40th wedding anniversary party. Later, while Adam is introducing the fruit pickers to Jennifer and the set-up at Home Farm, Eddie turns up. He's looking for the man from the Borsetshire Wildlife Trust who's surveying the Millennium Wood.

Adam asks Ian along to the fruit pickers' welcome drink at The Bull. Ian shows little enthusiasm but takes the invite as an opportunity to ask Adam if he ever hears from Pawel. Adam says he hasn't had any contact with him since he returned to Poland.

While Eddie applies filler to the crack in the kitchen wall at Grange Farm, Joe tests out the glider chair he bought at the Jumble Trail. It works rather too well: Joe says he nearly made himself seasick on it. Eddie explains to Joe how he plans to make the most of Brian wanting the Millennium Wood to return to an elf-free zone. He can see the sign 'ElfWorld' in his mind's eye. If he offers the displaced elves of the Millennium Wood asylum, he can charge visitors for parking and for the upkeep of the elves. It's a license to print money!
