Pat has found an excellent website that tells her all she needs to know about setting up a community shop. She's found examples of shops that are real success stories. She's keen to get Usha on board as an expert on the legal side. She's discovered that some of the shops pay someone to run the business and organise the volunteers. Tony wonders about Susan. Of course, they'd like to keep her on as postmistress, but she doesn't know yet if they'll be able to offer her a paid job.

Pat shares her findings with Peggy, who is concerned about Susan and wants to tell her what they know so far.

Eddie and Joe run the cider club at Brookfield, since they're there, rather than in the cold shed at Grundys' Field. It's a convivial evening, though Clarrie is very worried about them making a mess. She had no idea the club was happening there. Joe has a few too many, and bumps into the dresser. Quick fielding by Robert and Neil saves some crockery, but a teapot crashes to the floor.
