In October when Jill caught Pip about to pilfer flapjacks from the Brookfield larder she forbade her to take anything. A bitter row ensued and then a rift began to grow between grand-mother and daughter.
Pip v Jill: Archers listeners take sides
But now, with Jill deciding to let go of her Fairbrother angst (at least for the time being), she has turned out a fresh tray of the baked treats which she has given to Pip to take home and share with Toby.
Other than the usual butter, syrup and oats, here’s an idea of what else could have gone into this special batch of Jill Archer flapjacks.
• 175g/6oz of only ever loving one man
• 175g/6oz of that man being married before he met you
• 175g/6oz of forever feeling in the shadow of your husband’s first wife
• 350g/12oz of a relation of your husband’s first wife shacking up with your granddaughter (the cockier the better)
• ½ a fall, from which you're saved by the cocky boyfriend (finely grated)
• A pinch of conversation with an old friend that helps you work things out
