There's a ray of hope for David, and Brian continues to hit a brick wall.
Lilian pesters Lynda, worrying that Lynda’s low mood is due to her depiction of the Wife of Bath. Lynda admits they can’t use the Brookfield barn for the Tales.
Lilian calls in at Home Farm and tells Brian she’s had no luck in finding a 3-bed place for him and Jennifer. Lilian finds Jennifer packing clothes. Kate is spending Christmas in South Africa. Lilian offers space at the Dower House if they don’t find anywhere.
Lynda runs into Ben who is bitter about Jill leaving Bess with mince pies. Ben then arrives home to find Lilian petitioning David about using the barn for the Canterbury Tales. David puts in a call to the council and reports back to Lilian and Ben that they may still be able to use the barn if they can do the necessary repairs.
Adam’s ordered a green “eco-office” meanwhile Lexi is waiting for the transfer. Jennifer apologies to Brian for taking out her stress on him. But she despairs again when Brian says he’s not found anywhere for them to live.
