@borsetshireblue.bsky.social So now i’m sort of back. Again, thanks for your concern. Hope you are well XXXX Judith

@borsetshireblue.bsky.social dear Olwen, thank you for your concern and support. I broke a knee in a fall and was in a rehab center for months as the knee healed and i learned to walk again. I was pretty much in another world, one in which I didn’t connect with the Archers or with blue sky.

Wow. Delete the Grundy phone number from my phone. Not the people to turn to immedately after spilling your guts to them about this non understandable stuff going on in your head that takes over when you are angry. Kick you to the curb, they will. Forget support.They don't know the word. #TheArchers

Any way you can think of and then offer to them something that supports from the bottom sill? Maybe just pose them on the bottom sill? As everyone is saying, there’s a definite hanging, as in killing, aspect. Not at all Christmas. Sorry you have to see that! #TheArchers

I'm puzzled. This seems a cartoonish way to talk about racism. Would wish that real discussions happen, and that they be on-going. One racist having a heart attack, even if he then "sees the light," seems silly, something racism isn't, unfortunately. Anyone else confused? #TheArchers

It feels as if we are being forced to witness an accident, something we cannot prevent, and we sit in horror as it unfolds. Hoping to be wrong. #TheArchers

it seems wrong to saddle a child with a name many in the family find attached to someone they disliked or are ambivalent about. Could her nickname be Maggie, perhaps? #TheArchers

And there is no Findlay. Turnsout heonly appears every100 yrs or when a lonely woman and her bored dad need some charm in theirlife. And the sheep? Only appearwhen someone named Leonie need a reason to live. #TheArchers

I found this episode charming. I hope Jakob will be the birthing partner and the child will be named Jake as a nod to his help. agree that without their significant others, Natasha and Justin much more affable. Do we see a business for these two in the future? #TheArchers

Is the assumption that the executor will decline to pay for any of this holiday? It was made clear, at least to all of us, that it was meant to be for each and all of Peggy’s family, wasn’t it? Do pple assume Ruairi checked it out? #TheArchers

How did you read Amber's hesitation? I think she was relieved when George suggested it was her parents' attitude about him/them. She seized it as the reason for her lack of enthusiasm while I suspect it was lack of enthusiasm for the whole thing--ring, marriage to George. #TheArchers

My sympathy for NuAmber grows. She knows now all too well how much she means to him but she also knows he’s not her idea of a future mate. To her credit, she doesn’t want to crush him, hoping he’ll find work, so she can dump him when he’s doing okay, no? #TheArchers

Maybe Esme was known as someone else? Maybe she has transitioned? But in order for me to care about her backstory, I need to care about the story I'm hearing now. I'm trying but not succeeding. Esme, Love, get interesting or get gone. #TheArchers

Oh dear, lovely Susan. Your latest episode of "See how much Grandma loves you" is very hard to listen to. I don't think George can realize what you may be giving up for him; he really is a kid emotionally, so your goal, once you are jobless, will be impossible to realize. #TheArchers

I blame us for elements lacking in the eulogy. We should have insisted on some key ideas: the contribution of Mulligantawny Soup to the menus of Indian foods enjoyed in many nations. And the yearly recitation of the Iliad in Homeric Greek at the senior residence in Borchester. Others? #TheArchers

I’m tired of waiting for George to understand that saying “sorry” isn’t enough. Can someone tell him he needs to say a lot more and to acknowledge in a fuller way that he acted wrongly? Could Jim talk to him? #TheArchers

Does it seem as if everyone, Neil and Susan included, has forgotten that Susan was in jail and knows a bit of what the after situation is like? #TheArchers

has Esme's mother been talked about? Were she and no-name Mulligan were divorced when Esme was young and her mother took her to live elsewhere? So Esme's only been to the farm recently? Has she said she recalls being on the farm? Trying to make sense of her knowing nothing about farming. #TheArchers

Ruairi's behavior this week brings forth this question from me: What's he on? I very much hope I'm wrong and ask with no enthusiam. #TheArchers

Couldn’t Esme call round to solicitors to see if pops was a client? Ask David who his family uses? Chances are many farming families use the same office? #TheArchers

Wasn’t Sunny Ormonde wonderful tonight in full Lillian mode? Not so much what she said but her delivery, wow. #TheArchers

Jolene can’t do this on her own. What if she explained to Ed how George isn’t getting that saying sorry and hoping everyone will want to be anywhere near him can’t happen in fast order. People need time to see him as changed. Time. He has a place to live. Do volunteer work now. #TheArchers

Would be great if George paid back his gran and apologized, without excuses, for putting her in that situation. She will laugh it off and excuse him but just taking a bit of responsibility would be terrific on his part. #TheArchers

How will this play out? How will Amber find out the whole story about what George did? Will she lean on Brad until he tells her? As we have said, she's unaware of many of the events that night and those of the following days. Will she confront him? Be angry? Be met with anger from him? Can't wait.

Maybe George was just on edge, anticipating his release, but his very easy flying off the handle was a bit frightening. Somthing small not what he wants and boom, he explodes. Not a good trait. #TheArchers

Oh phooey. Brad’s hooked. He could barely get the word hug out. #TheArchers

A Grundy Girl? Exhibit A, Amber, Clarrie Grundy. Want to rethink that idea? #TheArchers

Emma, you're making it impossible to support you. The business with Alice, you pretending to be her friend, and now blaming Jolene & Kenton for George perhaps having to stay longer in prison. George wouldn't have a prison bed in which a shiv could be hidden if he hadn't done what he did! #TheArchers

I'm guessing Ruairi didn't actually hear what was said to Ed with regard to George? That was far from a "great conversation" and we were left with a threat hanging in the air that can only have made working at Home Farm very difficult for Ed. #TheArchers

I'm concerned that Adam made that threat. Ed offered an apology and Adam seemed at first to get it but then threatened George should George do anything to harm Alice. When did the convo take that turn? Wish Ed could tell Adam he can't work for him with that sort of threat hanging in the air.

Thanks Jacqui. On August 3, Alice said to Brian, “It’s not a no, it’s an ‘I don’t know‘.” And she asked for time to think about it. Brian doesn’t seem to recall the convo so Jacqui’s right, Alice will have to speak up if she wants in. #TheArchers

I'm alone in this but here goes. I loved this episode because it used Michael Cochrane so well, it allowed a further development of the maturing ruairi, and because it showed how truly out of it Dane is. Was (yes I think so and very welcome) Alice being sarcastic about the sheep? #TheArchers

So well written and acted and directed. Thanks. All of worked so well. #TheArchers

What if Ruairi asks Stella to come back to train him ? Role of teacher might appeal to her? #TheArchers

I have been corrected. No one uses You Tube anymore. Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal and probably other platforms I’ve never heard of. #TheArchers

Pat, were the veg boxes finished in a timely fashion? Yes? Your employee had a short call. If calls are not allowed, you need to say so. Look around the cafe. Do you see Adam there? No? Then your reaction is completely inappropriate. #TheArchers

So desperate to make Adam seem necessary . He now has two sort of jobs. Not working for me. You? #TheArchers

And now Henry. We feared the effects of Rob and the stabbing of. Might it be possible that Freddie talks to Elizabeth and she realizes the need and talks to Helen about the need for therapy. And there's the stumbling block. Maybe, just maybe, she'll do what she should? #TheArchers

Best to rein it in with Martin, Tracy. He has no idea about just being friends with a woman and will take some of what you're saying and doing as messages ...He's way too eager to have "home cooking" and a homelife and will mistake your friendship for something else. #TheArchers

Thinking more about Amber and Chelsea. Amber did leave the door open a bt when she said she wldnt accept a sort of blanket apology. So important that C recall the incident(s). A yearbook with photos? Might jog C’s memory. Understandable that Amber wants a specific apology. #TheArchers

We see that Amber has refused to apologize to Susan and Neil, refused to even think for a second that she is wrong about them. I wonder if this demo of her thinking shows a clue in regard to her thing with Chelsea? #TheArchers

Get on the phone, Chelsea. I'm sure you're still in touch with at least one person from back then. Ask what they recall. #TheArchers

Her unwillingness to tell Chelsea what happened makes me think Amber has no desire to work anything out between them. She wants to continue wearing her cloak of hurt; i guess it’s pretty much her identity. #TheArchers

the length is 30 so easy to turn up.

If feeling against having the shop in the church is high, perhaps move the Village Hall functions to the church? #TheArchers

I’m not finding Brian vulnerable. Reflective, puzzled, a bit annoyed, but still Brian in all his Brian-ness. What did I not hear that others did? Maybe something visual that other characters are reacting to? And i get no sense that there’s a throwing in the towel aspect to his behavior. #TheArchers

A reminder of how very easily Brian lies. Recently he seemed to have moved away from quick defensive lies, but today, he’s definitely not reaching for the truth, is he. #TheArchers

Do we think that Carole Boyd will leave? It’s been several years since the death of Graham Blockley, her acting Snell partner of 35 years and the hole left is huge. Maybe it’s become too much? I hope she decides to stay but maybe as a widow? #TheArchers

Brian doing his Stanley Kowalski. Not bad. In fact the whole bursting into the scene at full fury was terrific. Great writing, acting. Not dull, this harvest, not for a moment. #TheArchers

Fun. Today’s ep. Working women of Ambridge. So fun. #TheArchers
