Heather goes round the farmyard with Farmer Phil to see what's happened over the summer.

Over in the grain stores, the harvest has been safely gathered in but at some cost to the paint job on Phil's new combine... There's even time to drop into the Wiggly Floristry to talk to Ricky about Boxes of Sunshine, Wedding flowers and selling to Jigsaw clothes stores.
