That's very generous of you, really.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

I mean, he's family, is Harrison, and his split with Fallon, well, we're ever so sad about it, but what can you do?

Well, you've never said that before.

Well, perhaps it's quite a recent phenomenon.

I mean, what I'd really like to do is shut up shop and go on a lovely long touring holiday, like Jim Lloyd.

Where is he now?

I can meet you at the police station after this.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, that's very much appreciated.

Oh, it's exciting.

I haven't really seen the Crook Barn before.

You said you wanted to cheer me up on my wedding anniversary.

I do.

Oh, you're right, Fallon, this isn't about me.

Unfortunately, the parents didn't, but they said they'd ask their boys this morning.

Oh, well, fingers crossed then.

Too little too late, I'm afraid.

Oh, come on, Linda.

But it's utter nonsense, Lillian.

Whichever monstrous animal attacked those poor sheep would've been soaked in blood.

Hmm.

It might be Harrison with news, so someone needs to answer.

Yes, of course you would

Khalil more or less rescued this budgie from cramped quarters and a lack of exercise and, and no one to talk to, so he can have a much better little life with us than he had where he was before.

But only if you go in first.

I'm seeing Azra on Wednesday about her mental health initiative.

Oh, well, you know Azra, don't you? Khalil's mum.

Oh, this will interest you, the competition for the logo.

We're running a competition for the children in the village to come up with a design for the pub cricket team's kit.

[laughs] Something that can appear on the team's shirts.

Well, that's, uh, that's something of an oversimplification.

So could I put you down for a refresher session? Nothing too demanding.

We'd go over the basics, how to operate the speed gun, how we record the offenders, and so on.

Giving lectures to boy racers doesn't exactly sound like positive social interaction.

Oh, no.

No, I meant with the other volunteers.

We work in pairs, you see, and there's always plenty to chat about.

We even get together for occasional coffee mornings.
