Natasha visits Bridge Farm to speak to Helen about fruit drinks. Tom is delighted that Natasha has agreed to come early and meet him for a coffee. Natasha apologises for ignoring some of Tom’s messages. She’s just come out of a ten year relationship. It didn’t seem right to be texting another man while they were splitting up.

He points out that Tom has farmed the land for years. When Natasha leaves Tom asks for Tony’s opinion of her. Tom thinks she’s great. Tony diplomatically agrees that she’s very…impressive.
