Bridge Farm faces disappointment, and David has a brainwave.

The Brookfield contingent are delighted with the attendance at Open Farm Sunday. It鈥檚 great to get such support from the community. Stella鈥檚 impressed with Pip鈥檚 dairy presentation 鈥� they agree it鈥檚 important for farms to keep doing this. Even Josh鈥檚 鈥榮ilage sniffing鈥� attraction has a healthy queue. They spot some over-enthusiastic youngsters on the yard but it鈥檚 nothing they can鈥檛 handle. They worry that quiet David鈥檚 rattled, but he explains he was just contemplating the four generations he sees 鈥� with Rosie as the future. Pip agrees. She鈥檚 heard at least two kids today talking about wanting to go into farming. David acknowledges days like today make it all worthwhile, even though he moans now and again. Pip hears that attendance is well down at Bridge Farm, and David has an idea. He grabs a megaphone and delivers a heartfelt speech about how one unfortunate event can blight a farm.
Bridge Farm is eerily quiet. Helen鈥檚 hopes that today would provide an opportunity to show they鈥檝e bounced back from February鈥檚 sewage leak seemed to be dashed. They distract themselves with talk of Peggy鈥檚 funeral, and the cricket. Tony鈥檚 touched that Henry鈥檚 decided to support the farm today rather than play. It鈥檚 just a shame it鈥檚 so quiet. A few turn up for the goat gymkhana but it鈥檚 not enough. When Helen hears how busy Brookfield is they鈥檙e forced to admit it鈥檚 going to be hard to shake off the spectre of the sewage incident. They鈥檙e about to pack up when there鈥檚 a sudden rush of visitors. Nonplussed Tony declares it a miracle.
