Chris asserts they’ve all done things they regret.
Azra and Akram are at Brookfield for Sunday lunch. Akram gets a message from Helen. She wants a word with him. He worries that he hasn’t yet paid for the repairs to the polytunnel. Ruth recommends just asking Helen what she wants. Azra reckons farming must be tough and miserable in the winter. Ruth asserts that on the whole she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s pretty happy with her lot, if she could just bury her head and not think about inheritance tax matters. Azra advises the worst thing would be to do nothing. Ruth resolves to sit down with David make a decision.
Helen puts Akram’s mind at rest. The polytunnel’s all fixed. She wants to offer him some hours working on the farm, to replace Adam. Akram’s pleased she’s asked, but while his heart wants to say yes, he can’t justify the loss of income from his current work in order to pick veg. Helen understands and apologises for any offence. Far from it, says Akram, he’s flattered and is finding it hard to say no. What exactly would casual work involve?
