Competition and speculation have been rife in the village over the soil test results. Kirsty’s now looking through the results, which are fascinating. Bridge Farm has some surprises coming. She thinks she’ll display them in the pub rather than email them out – a more relaxed approach. Meanwhile, Rex has trouble of his own. He’s told Kate about them doing outdoor yoga and meditation, and she’s spitting fire about the Rewilding taking business from her. Kirsty listens to Kate rail, then says they were going to offer her first refusal on the sessions, but she’s clearly not interested. Wrongfooted, Kate tries to backtrack. Kirsty tells her she can be the witch on their Halloween walk. They’re desperate to find someone.
