Ep 7. Episode 7

It's a sad day at River Cottage as later on he sends off two of his pigs to the abattoir. Local charcoal-maker Sean Bridges comes round to lift the gloom by chopping down some of the trees which shade Hugh's vegetable patch. They take the wood to Sean's charcoal-burner which they set alight and cover up for the night. Next morning Hugh helps Sean empty the burner and gets a load of fine English recycled charcoal in return. On the way back from the burn-site, Hugh picks up old friend Ray Smith who's been to the abattoir to collect the pigs' blood. They repair to the Cottage to make a classic black pudding.
