Hmm, where can I get a perfect katkarapuleivä? By ordering from the supplier.
Let's party! Now to the ship's top-end early departure price. Order now. Tallinksilja.fi.
How does George feel about his current situation?
All right, let's go to the ship.
You're listening to Tuesday's episode of The Archers, from BBC Radio 4.
Anne-Marie?
Hello, George. I promise I'm not staying. I just wanted to hand over these brownies. Homemade. Amber's favourite.
That's really kind of you. Thanks. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
Is she in by any chance?
No, sorry. She's still at work.
I thought you said she'd be off today.
She was supposed to be, but she swapped a shift with a mate.
Oh, OK.
You can come in if you want to wait for her. She should be back in about an hour.
I don't know. That might seem a bit too much. What do you think? Up to you. I know I should have messaged to check if it was a good time. But if I'm honest with you, George, I worry she would make an excuse not to see me if she had any warning of me turning up.
I don't know about that. I thought she messaged you yesterday.
Oh, I couldn't accuse her of ignoring us. She almost always replies to our messages, but usually only with a word or two. Or a thumbs up.
What challenges does Lillian face in inspiring others?
And of course she sent her dad a Father's Day card. In fact, it arrived early. But there was no chance she was going to come and actually see us on Sunday.
Yeah, well, she's been... Busy.
I know. He said.
Yeah.
So, I think I'll just leave these brownies and get going.
OK.
OK.
Then maybe I could get a quick glass of water before I drive back. No need to tidy up. Don't worry on my account.
Right.
How's the bedroom coming on? All ready for the baby?
The shelving unit's finished and the cot's in place. Looks really nice.
You'll have to let us know what else you need. Bill and I would love to get something for the baby.
What about one of those things for over the cot?
A mobile?
Yeah. I remember my sister Kiera having one that played the same thing over and over again. It got her to sleep, but it kept me awake. I swear, I can still hear that tune sometimes.
Do you think this hanging basket's had enough water yet? I think it can take a bit more, Tracy. Really give it a good soaking. I saw the baskets at the three tons were looking a bit sorry for themselves. I'll tell Jolene you said that. She'll be delighted. Ooh, look. Helen's car turning into the green. Yep. We're properly, officially neighbours now. And how's that going? Okay. She seems very happy to have a place of her own again. Can you reach the next basket or do you want to move the ladder first?
How does the conversation shift to family dynamics?
I can reach it. As long as you hold it steady.
Yep.
It's nice to have neighbours you can have a chat with at the front door, but, well, you know. It's good to protect your privacy too. Yeah. Though Helen's unlikely to want to be in and out of our house anyway. I bet she has a rotor of chores. Timetables for everything. We're like chalk and cheese. Order versus chaos. I don't know. Jack's no stranger to chaos, I can tell you that. He's a lively little lad, that's for sure. How are you finding working at the dairy? Oh, I love it. Helen's a good boss, and I'm sure we'll rub along fine as neighbours. If I got my way, you'd stop making that pesky cheese and do more shifts here. I preferred it when you were at the bull's beck and call. I can still do plenty of shifts here.
Just not in the week Fallon's booked off. Is that when Harrison comes back? It is. She wants to give him her undivided attention. Oh, that's so sweet. A proper pair of lovebirds. And while they're busy lovebirding, we're woefully understaffed. I can probably fit in some evenings, but Helen got to me first. She needs us to start on a huge cheese order that week and I promised her I could work full time. Don't worry, Tracy. I'm sure we'll get sorted. There's always agency staff as a last resort. But June is also busy season at Amside. All right, that's enough. I'm coming down. You got a good grip on the ladder, Lillian? Yeah, I have. I was talking to Adam in the shop this morning.
