Mike's diplomacy misses the mark.

Pip's come home early to revise, and needs to email some notes to Zoe. Ruth and David assume Zoe's part of the new crowd and are glad she's making new friends - at last!

Vicky sees Lynda's notices about the proposed green burial site, and offers to go to the meeting. Lynda's disappointed to see that the butterfly egg survey for the Borsetshire Wildlife Trust has been postponed. Lynda had kept next Monday clear. As Vicky's got nothing planned for next Monday, they agree to go for a walk instead.

Mike's checking out some pasteurisers tomorrow but Vicky's concerned about him travelling in the current conditions and says she'll join him - then if the weather turns to blizzards again she'll be able to keep him warm. She goes for a cup of tea with Lynda, and they look on the internet for somewhere she and Mike can stop off for lunch. Mike tells Ed that he'd rather be going on his own but he knows what Vicky's like once she's set her heart on doing something. In the end, Mike stands firm and tells Vicky he's going on his own. Vicky takes offence and, feeling sorry for herself, declares she'll be just fine by herself.
