Jill has encouraging news about the Route B protest. The discovery of the Brown Hairstreak butterfly means that Starley's Copse could be a trump card for the SAVE campaign. Jill talks about the butterfly with Carol Tregorran, as they collect eggs in the orchard. It will be used on all the SAVE branding, including leaflets and banners. Carol feels that the planners can't touch Brookfield. She jokes that it's pretty much her farm, since she bought a smallholding from Dan.
Jill talks about why she left Glebe Cottage. She wasn't comfortable there after losing Phil. But Carol finds living by herself second nature now.
