I’m a couple of days behind in Archers time, but I keep wondering about this.
It looks as though Gem is going to become Bartleby’s new buddy, which is lovely for both of them, and might keep Joe quiet.
But Clary was bemoaning the cost of keeping ONE pony (“it’s not like a stock animal, where you might get your money back,” she said in a very un-Clary-like way, to emphasise the point for the sake of the storyline).
Is Shula going to offer to pay maintenance for Gem?
If anyone has any thoughts about how this is going to work, to put my mind at rest, I’d love to hear them.
