Ruth and David are under the impression that both Rex and Toby are OK about their Hollowtree tenancy coming to an end. Freddie’s asked David and Pip about taking part in the Christmas show – it seems he’s phoned the whole village but there’s little interest from anyone.
Ruth blames Ben for their location being publicised in connection with the coin find. David thinks Ben’s doing his best to make amends. Ben keeps watch after dark as it’s likely they’ll get more trespassers. He reports later that there was a pick-up parked where the cattle got out last week, but when he approached it quickly drove away.
While Philip assesses some repair work at St Stephen’s, Shula reports to Kirsty her ordination training is keeping her busy along with running the Stables. Nice for some, says Kirsty. The Wildlife Trust job isn’t what she’d hoped, and Philip is scratching around for work.
Shula’s shocked to hear that Kirsty and Philip are thinking about moving to Wales. Kirsty feels it’s much more her thing than their current Beechwood home. But they can’t leave Ambridge at the moment, because of Gavin. Kirsty explains Gavin’s gambling problem to Shula and how Alistair has been a great help, but that Philip doesn’t seem to know how to deal with it. Following Shula’s advice, Kirsty suggests to Philip that Gavin is given some responsibility to prove that he can cope on his own. Kirsty worries Gavin might relapse. Philip’s certain that won’t happen.
