So, as the trial has been and gone, we are all glad that Helen won, and Rob had his true self revealed, will the rift 'tween Adam & Ian be healed?

Whose jam will be judged to be the best? Will Joe approach his final rest?

Will Grange Farm rent be paid on time?

Can I be arsed inspired to write more drivel rhyme?

Away we go!

Good for Jim, proving that a classical education is never wasted! And good for Emma for grasping his idea and runnning with it!

Ambridge Cricket Club sounds like the Garrick,

Will Grundy at the Garrick grin

Just what they need.

Well!!
Miranda will take him for every penny I expect but I do think he will make Lillian happy.
???Aaah!

merlotgran Fri 10-Mar-17 19:21:46

At least Lilian owns the roof over his head grin

How lovely Jazzer is!

GracesGranMK2 Fri 10-Mar-17 21:55:31

Is this what Lillian wants?

Miranda's Best Moments aka Mrs Elliott's Life Hacks

The other side of Jazzer. He is a great character.

Luckygirl Fri 10-Mar-17 21:59:45

I think that Lilian will run a mile - she just wants a bit of fun and enjoys the buzz of being illicit. Poor Justin.

MawBroon Fri 10-Mar-17 22:04:30

I think the lifestyle Justin has to offer will do her nicely.

merlotgran Fri 10-Mar-17 22:08:30

Miranda's put-downs are almost as good as Margot Leadbetter's from The Good Life.......almost.

So pleased for Lillian! (Yes, I know it's not real grin)

HannahLoisLuke Sat 11-Mar-17 08:58:42

Always loved Jazzer, what a kind friend under his Jack the lad exterior. He'd make a great boyfriend for Kirsty (jumping the gun here) and it would certainly put That annoying Tom Archers nose out of joint!

Justin and Lilian? Not sure. She may change her mind once Miranda has taken her half.

Lazigirl Sat 11-Mar-17 09:29:58

Awww. Lilian has a new tiger. ?

Elrel Sat 11-Mar-17 10:14:54

Can they now settle for domestic peace? I did enjoy giggling at the geriatric shenanigans involving wellies and bushes and ending with an earring down Lil's embonpoint!

I had a lump in my throat yesterday listening to the Archers on radio 4 and hearing Justin say that he wanted Lillian in his life. Looking forward to hearing the outcome of their conversation!!!!!

Elrel Mon 13-Mar-17 07:56:39

She seems to have cold feet. She was very keen to get back to Brian and Jenny's.

GracesGranMK2 Mon 13-Mar-17 08:36:07

I am not surprised she was keen to get some thinking space after all when she arrived at the Dower House she thought it was all over. Justin has made the decision he wants without consulting Lillian and now she needs time to think. Justin was very clear about the basis of their relationship - almost forensically so - and has never previously suggested anything different. Lillian now needs to really think if this is what she wants and, if it were me, I would want to think about whether I could trust Justin to go through with this.

It is also obvious that he has always had affairs and you know what they say about marrying the mistress (or replacing the wife with her) - it leaves a vacancy, which Justin may take a while to fill but there is no saying he won't.

Iam64 Mon 13-Mar-17 08:48:39

I'm with you GGMK2 - it's one thing being Justin's 'other woman', quite another to be his life partner living with various 'other women' as seems inevitable given Justin's approach to life.
Justin has been fun for Lilian, helped her in the process of getting over Tiger. The thing is she loved Tiger but I'm not sure she loves Justin. His sense of entitlement is staggering. Anyway - who else wonders if the money is mainly Miranda's. She isn't a push over and I'm sure she'll put various obstacles in the way of a straightforward divorce.

Lazigirl Mon 13-Mar-17 10:20:25

Tiger wasn't exactly "mate for life" material either, but Justin is typical of the type of man Lilian is attracted to. She seems to need an element of danger in her life.I do agree that the prospect may not be so attractive when the risk factor and excitement has gone and she has to deal with his dirty underpants and socks. His bank balance will be considerably less too after the lovely Miranda has finished with him.

merlotgran Mon 13-Mar-17 19:47:59

I really want to give Pip a good slap. angry

Iam64 Mon 13-Mar-17 19:56:20

merlotgran - I'm totally opposed to slapping BUT I said out loud "somebody give her a slap"
What an entitled little madam she is

GracesGranMK2 Mon 13-Mar-17 23:01:56

She's a millennial though Iam and Merlot so perhaps well drawn as an example of some of her generation.
