Ben shows Ruairi where Brookfield’s new milking parlour will be. Ruairi is stunned it’s going to cost £250,000. They help Jill make stuffing and it’s decided that Ruairi will come to Brookfield for Christmas Day.

After delivering logs to the Dower House, Eddie tries again to get Justin to help with emptying the portable loo. Ruairi appears asking if any of Lilian’s workmen can help with the Brookfield barn repair for The Canterbury Tales. Justin says no but eventually Eddie says he and Ed could help.
