Later, a letter arrives from their landlord that threatens the future of their farm.\n\nIn Cumbria, father and daughter Frank and Georgia prepare a new winter home for a recent addition to the farm – a small herd of pint-sized pygmy goats. At the local Christmas market, Georgia outshines dad Frank with her sales patter.\n\nJoyce leaves the farm and the Highlands behind as she travels south to give a speech to mark the launch of the Women in Agriculture report at the Royal Highland and Agriculture headquarters in Edinburgh.
