Helen receives an unexpected invitation and Tom’s plan causes controversy.
Tom lines up Eddie to do deliveries for Bridge Fresh. Eddie agrees as long as Grange Farm Cider is added to Bridge Fresh’s website. Tom doesn’t think they’d have coped with the surge in demand without the Bridge Fresh app. He’s working flat out. They are also selling Josh’s eggs, Toby’s gin and Tearoom cakes. They’re paying wholesale prices. Pat and Tony think Tom and Natasha should take a smaller cut.
Helen’s got excess cheese stock stacking up. It’s a shame; the wheels in the maturing room Helen tasted yesterday were perfect. At least she’s selling more through Bridge Fresh, and Emma and Fallon are using the cheese in their baking. She’s also on an email quest for bottles for the excess milk she can’t process. Interrupted by a call from Susan asking her to go on her radio show, Helen rather envies her. Susan’s using every opportunity this crisis is bringing, despite her and Clarrie not being able to work at the Bridge Farm dairy. Helen just wishes she had the courage to say yes to appearing; it would do her business profile some good. She’s missing Lee. She wonders what he would think of her prevaricating over five minutes on the radio, while he’s working all hours at the hospital. Finally she puts her finger on her problem with it; she’s worried some listeners might recognise her name, and the spectre of Rob looms large. But surely she can’t let that beat her.
