Emma attempts to balance life and Ben gets an unexpected history lesson
Ben doesn鈥檛 think much of Radio Borsetshire鈥檚 competition to find a new DJ to present from home. He really hopes it鈥檚 not his dad. He鈥檚 typing up Jill鈥檚 hand-written notes of her wartime memories to submit to the radio station. Ruairi is doing the same for Peggy.
Emma makes cakes in an empty Tearoom for the village shop and the Bridge Farm shop. Emma鈥檚 finding it hard to keep Keira and George both cheerful and doing their school work. She doesn鈥檛 want George to miss out on the chances that she did when at school. Meanwhile, Ed鈥檚 preoccupied with a shearing bet he has with Jazzer.
Ben wonders what the future holds for him as the coronavirus lockdown has meant he hasn鈥檛 done his A-Levels. He was hoping to do very little but is sent on an egg delivery mission to Emma. On his way home he reads Jill鈥檚 notes about living through the Second World War. Ben muses on Jill鈥檚 childhood and what it must have been like to lose both parents and then go to live with Daphne and her family.
Emma gets a text from Helen about a VE Day school project Henry and Keira鈥檚 class are meant to be doing. It鈥檚 the first Emma鈥檚 heard of it and she worries how she鈥檒l manage. Helen in comparison seems to do so well with two kids and running her own business. Emma always feels two steps behind. Then, Emma gets a text from Susan saying 鈥淗i Emma, you鈥檒l never guess what I鈥檝e just won!鈥
