so no pact between the twins for Lily to take all the blame, which means no letting Freddie of this particular hook.
I agree he's picked up something about basic management and communication skills at Casey Meats - I thought he was good with newly-employed Rochelle - but it scarcely equates with the personal skills and knowledge required to run a more complex operation like Lower Loxley. Perhaps he'll succeed with or without a partner, perhaps he'll sell the house and/or business....
(Is it just me or has he begun to sound rather patronising?)

MiriamSeptember 17, 2025 at 5:54 PM A general remark only. I am not sure what has just happened. I was just giving my individual opinion, which I admit can be a bit different, but then we all listen + interpret TA in differing ways As such I will now do what I've had to do before, and that is step back for a short time on this page. I will continue on the general page, if OK as + when. It's best for me + all the other contributers that I do this. Yes I feel bad so need to 🤐 + be 🤬
JaniceSeptember 17, 2025 at 8:54 PM I don't know why you feel bad Miriam. We do all interpret things differently but that is fine, and seeing things as others see them can sometimes make for a shift in perspective.

AmbridgesMrsPSeptember 17, 2025 at 9:01 PM Don’t think that’s necessary Miriam and I agree with your post of 3.41 today, and disagree with Maryellen. Learning skills on the job is just as valid ( if not more so ) as obtaining paper qualifications, and most skills are transferable. I think it’s possible that Freddie might go further than his twin, even though she is the one who has always appeared to be brighter, because Freddie has persistence and a flexible and lighter attitude to life. Lily is far more rigid in many ways.
You have started my day off with a chuckle KPnuts, and brought back a memory of some one who loved horses. He entered his heavy horse into the local agricultural show and won first prize but admitted his was the only entry in the Shires category. The horse usually led the village carnival procession. The food looks yummy, plus a great action shot. Well done that family!
I thought he sounded both frail + different. I wondered, like the late June Spencer and now Jill, his input was recorded elsewhere and not in the studio. This might explain why it sounded a bit stilted. Just an idea.
I wondered about that too. It was mainly one-to-one, fairly low key conversation, which would lend itself to out of studio recording if the actor couldn’t get there.
Ooo, yum KP! The only time I won anything at our local F & P show was for my onions, which that year were absolutely huge. We had only moved to the village that year and there were a lot of complaints from the usual winners that I didn’t qualify to enter. But they had been grown in the village, using our chicken muck as fertiliser, they were just jealous that a woman had beaten them to the prize!
That was like Stella winning something the first year she moved into The Bungalow after Bert died. Wasn't there a hint that she only won as to what Bert had planted and how he manured + nutured his ground? It rings a bell in some way.
There haven’t been many feel good moments that I recall in TA recently so it was a treat to hear Ruairi and Paul’s mutual happiness after their night together. They have agreed it was just the one night, but that would make it the shortest storyline ever, so I suspect there’s more drama to come!

Scrumptious display! Jill Archer would be envious.
ReplyDeleteis it me, or did Jim sound older and frailer than usual in Wednesday's episode?
ReplyDeleteNo KP - not just you. I heard the same.
DeleteHe sounded rather stilted, I thought, as if the actor was just reading through the script.

Delete“ I’ll fight him and I’ll win, if it’s the last thing I do ! “
ReplyDeleteBrian’s words might be prophetic, is this a clue to his eventual demise ?
Or as to my alternative thinking (which all know is very different) - it's just a TA red herring as far too obvious..😵💫

ReplyDeleteRather than Brian's demise I think it could be the build up to the battle for Home Farm.
