Kenton worries that Kathy's home cooking is taking its toll on his waistline, especially when Ed comments that he's looking a bit podgy and Fallon points out that it's inevitable when you get to a certain age.

In an attempt to work off the pounds, Kenton jogs back from the Bull and bumps into Lynda and Clarrie. When Clarrie also despairs at having put on weight, Kenton jokingly says they should take up jogging together. Later Clarrie tells Kenton she's desperate to lose weight - perhaps they could get together with others in the village and run a weight loss club at the village hall.

Ed tells Fallon that Eddie's secretly using cooking oil in his car because the price of diesel's so high. When they bump into Nic with the children on her way to Keeper's Cottage, George is pleased to see Ed, but after she goes Ed isn't happy that Will leaves George with Nic; she's not his Mum. Fallon says he'll have to try to get used to it.

Lynda tells Matt that she's reporting him to Borsetshire Wildlife Trust for ploughing up the set-aside in Quarry Bank and disturbing the skylarks, but Matt gives her short shrift and shows her the door.
