David faces a nightmare, and Azra offers support.
At Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Farm Stella and Ruth have their presentation on the history of women and the plough all ready to go, when Brian arrives and compliments them on their vintage hairstyles and outfits. Stella then gives Ruth a corn dolly for luck in her ploughing match. But first they give their presentation, which gets a good reception and Brian says went down well. He’s delighted too with all the compliments he’s been getting for putting the event on, overcoming his initial reservations about agreeing to do it.
David awaits his flu jab at the surgery with trepidation, while Neil is in denial about having an issue with stress. They try to deflect with chat about ploughing, but end up being honest with each other about David’s fear of needles and Neil’s struggle to cope with everything that’s been going on with George recently. Later, David compliments Ben on how good he was putting David at ease for his jab. Azra was complimentary about Ben’s first day too.
During Neil’s appointment Azra tells him that his blood pressure is up and suggests ways he can help bring his stress levels down. These include sharing with others how he’s feeling, rather than keeping it to himself.
At the end of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Farm ploughing match Stella praises both traditional methods and modern, more environmentally aware approaches to farming the land. Ruth is presented with her trophy for winning the whole event, while Neil is awarded the Ladies Cup as runner-up. He’s happy to accept the title in tribute to the strength, skill and resilience shown by women like Ruth.
