MUSIC PLAYS Adam? Morning. Oh. It's me, Debbie. I've brought you a cup of coffee. Debbie? Oh. Had you forgotten where you were? What time is it? Almost ten. Breakfast is ready for you downstairs.
There's cheese and kolbash. That's like a traditional Hungarian spiced sausage.
Okay, great.
Did you still want to take a stroll into the village later? Go to the St George's Day Fair?
Sure. Sure. Give me a minute to throw some clothes on.
Oh, don't worry. There's no rush. I know we've a lot to talk about, but we've got all day. I'm sorry, Chris. I was looking forward to playing cricket too. Don't sweat it, Kirsty. At least you gave me a few days' warning. I only found out about Adam a couple of hours ago. Oh, no. Is he not here? No, he's had to go visit a friend, apparently. I had to twist Dad's arm to take his spot.
He's dashing over as soon as he's finished bell ringing. Good old Neil. You know, you really don't need to leave the team entirely. When you messaged to say your stranger back, I imagined you laid up in bed. Oh, no, it's eased up now. Honestly, though, Chris, I don't want to take the risk of hurting it again. It's better if I just rule myself out. All right.
Well, thanks for coming to cheer us on, anyway. Of course. Couldn't miss the battling bulls' first match. Hi there. Morning. Oh, morning, Helen. Hi, Natasha. Where's Tom? I'm assuming he's got here. I think he's in the pavilion taping his bat. All right. Oh, I see Rex is giving Alice some last-minute instruction. Hadn't realised she was playing. He's helping her with her batting technique.

Chapter 2: How does Adam feel about his current situation?
I did say you didn't need to wear whites. I know, but I already had the kit from playing for Ambridge. Should I go home and change? No, no, we're starting any minute now. In fact, stay there. I'd better round up the rest of the team. Kirsty, should we go and find somewhere to watch? Yeah, good idea. Have a great game, Tom. Yeah, good luck. Thanks. See?
Didn't I tell you you didn't need to spend 50 quid on a new cricket jumper? And I'm the one you keep saying spends too much on clothes. No, all I said was we need to start being more careful with money. In a few weeks, Helen moves out and things are going to be a lot tighter when there's no rent coming in. Who was that? Oh, the wife of one of my tractor drivers.
I was just explaining you're my brother from England. The rumour mill is almost as bad here as in Ambridge. I'm seen with a strange man and tongues start wagging.
Well, you certainly seem like part of the community.
I should hope so. I've been here 20 years. In fact, I'm applying for citizenship.
Really?
Yeah. I mean, Hungary's my home now and I want to have a proper stake in its future, so... Oh.

Chapter 3: What plans do Adam and Debbie discuss for the day?
I can certainly see why you like it here. It's gorgeous. And you have a great job. You're clearly respected. Makes me wonder if I've clung on in Ambridge too long.
All right, come on then. We've avoided it long enough. How bad is it? Things must be pretty dire for you to come all this way.
Oh, Debbie. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I thought when I came back to the farm, Brian and I had turned a new page.
Chapter 4: How does Kirsty react to the news about Adam?
Recently, though, He's just become impossible.
Do you think he's losing his faculties? That's what Alice and Kate seem to think.
I don't know. He's definitely more erratic. Whether it's dementia, though, what I'm worried about is the farm.
Right.
I keep trying to impress on him the need to become more resilient, maybe moving away from commodity crops, planting more sustainable heritage grains like spelt and einkorn. He just will not have it.
I can't blame him for being sceptical. It's a pretty niche market. Big producers aren't going to stop wanting standardised high-protein flour.
No, OK.
I mean, look, I know what battling Brian is like. I'm glad my only battle's now with continental weather. Cold winters and summer droughts.
Yeah, but that's not why Brian's being so obstinate. Recently, one of his big ideas to deal with some poorly performing land was to store caravans on it. Sorry, what? Oh, don't worry, he gave up on it fairly quickly.

Chapter 5: What challenges does Adam face with Brian on the farm?
What a way for the Battling Bulls to start their first season. Yeah, and still with two overs to go. Cheers. To be honest, I feel a bit bad for the Pig and Whistle. You didn't have to tonk quite so many balls over the Redstone. Oh, why not? Are they going to gift them to me? Yes, but we're not playing in the league anymore. It's supposed to be a bit of fun. Come on, Tom. Put your jumper on.
Are we all going back to the pub? Yes, I just need to find Lottie. Lottie? Someone up to see him. She came to see me play. Helen! Helen! You're coming to the bull, aren't you? Me? I'm not sure. You have to. Jolene and Kenton are going to announce the winning logo. You don't want to miss it. Oh, OK. Well, I'd better just wait for Kirsty. Oh, what? Tom, what's the matter? It's my new jumper.
The umpire must have stretched the arms when he tied them round his waist. Look, the cuffs are down past my hands. Oh, what a shame. I bet you wish you hadn't bought it. It's not funny, Natasha. It's ruined. Never mind, mate. Worst things happen at sea. You'll just have to put your name down for a team shirt. Right, well, here comes Kirsty. I'll catch you guys up.
All right, but don't be too long, mind. No, promise. I don't know why you're smirking. No, I'm not. Kirsty? Hey. Well, what happened? Did you tell him? Yes, I told him. And? Was he pleased? He just seemed quite shocked, to be honest. Well, that's quite understandable. I mean, it's not every day you're told you're going to be her father. I know, but still, I'd hoped he might be more excited.
So what did he say? Not much. Just that his head was all over the place and he needed to catch the S-Bahn to the airport. He said he'd call me again when he's back home tomorrow. OK. Well, give him a chance. It's a lot to take in over the phone. Yeah, I guess. I'm sure he'll be thrilled when you talk to him tomorrow.
What does the world sound like if you stay away from it? A small display creates a big bubble. And at the same time, the most important moments of childhood are left untouched.
Do you want to play with me?
Childhood is the best live. That's why Elisa doesn't recommend a smart phone as her first device.
Hey, there are old drinking friends here. Bye! Uh, we've never seen each other. No? Well, who are you then? We are new drinkers. Oh, well, where are you from then? Well, from S-Market, of course. Life is food. S-Market.
