The Bull or the Stables?
Much like elsewhere no week goes by without a crisis in Ambridge. This week the issue is what Lilian’s investment plans are. She is a joint owner of The Bull, but has been in talks with Shula about financing a re-launch of the Stables. Kenton is concerned that this means Lilian will want out of the Bull. Meanwhile Shula suspects that Justin plans to turn the Stables into a Country Club and send the horses to the knacker’s yard. Work in progress.
Karma as Brexiteer Adam ends up fruit picking
Adam has resigned from his job at Danforth Barton (or more likely been sacked given how useless he is). He is now employed as a fruit picker. Not only does this more easily fit his actual skill profile, it also represents karma. Usually there would be no shortage of seasonal fruit pickers but thanks to Brexit there is. Adam was a supporter of Brexit
Brookfield Harvest Supper
The Brookfield Harvest Supper has not taken place yet but the preparations have been endless. Given that Daveed and Kenton were jointly charged with sorting it this was no surprise. Jill has now taken responsibility for sorting it out.
Blake & Berrow
Blake started work at Berrow this week. Blake also finished work at Berrow this week. Martyn Gibson from owners Borchester Land thought it would be a good idea to get the Borchester Echo to interview Blake about his life and times. Of course this wasn’t about Blake, who wasn’t asked, but a promotional opportunity for BL. Unsurprisingly Blake was not impressed and walked out, reflecting perhaps understandably that he trusted jailed gangmaster Philip and Gavin more than he did Borchester Land.
