Adam helps Brian out at the Home Farm office. He tells Brian that he’s just been in touch with some people about potential contracts for autumn drilling, so they might hear something positive back soon. When Adam says he needs to head back to Bridge Farm, Brian lists all the things that need doing that Stella was across and Adam feels compelled to stay a little longer. They’re interrupted by Pat ringing wondering where Adam is. He’s supposed to be in the Dairy with Susan. Pat gives Adam ten minutes to get there. Later Brian admits to Adam that he’s written Stella a heartfelt letter of apology. She should receive it by post tomorrow.
