ARCHERS UPDATE

Perhaps the soil from the bit of Bridge Farm that was flogged off to build the Beechwood Estate was exhausted from decades of farming. That might explain why so many plots planted in this corner of Ambridge lack vigour and conviction. The current shallowly rooted crop, sown among the new builds, takes a feeble turn as Lee makes an unexpected discovery that will lead to yet another terrible Beechwood incident. While we struggle to give attention to these events, we must also keep a weather eye open as we mooch around the rest of the village. A much-anticipated event comes to pass this week: Chelsea’s driving lesson. Tracy, her mother, is in the instructor’s seat, and having two Horrobins at large and on wheels should buck things up a bit.
