Changes

Just about as soon as everyone has arrived Mick notices that his beloved goats are not looking well. The local vet (known for more that his veterinary prowess and not known as ''Shithead'' for nothing) thinks that this might be Goat Pox - a notifiable disease. The vets (complete with white outfits) from the ministry arrive - and slap a quarantine order on the farm. The property which ''was'' home to three people - two in the farmhouse and Mick in an outbuilding - now has to cope with fourteen. And what a group they are. If you're looking for common sense amongst the visitors then the children probably come top of the list and as you work your way down some people are looking for a new partner, there's the thought of baby making and it's difficult not to be ''very'' suspicious about some of the behaviour that's going on.

Joss Jeffries is special. You're going to respect her. She's not glamorous or gorgeous to look at. Her clothes are generally someone else's cast-offs. She's honest in trying to pay back debts which she didn't incur but which are in her name. She ''wants'' to earn money (that's what the extra cleaning job in the mornings is about) but she's human enough to feel resentful when all the work seems to fall on her shoulders and the problems drop on her toes. She's also coming up for air after the failure of her marriage and she's attracted to Deri Samson - which might be just a bit unfortunate.
