I know we have got beyond Rowan taking on the farm, but this is the first time we actually see her hammering in sheep pens etc. and I must say I do think it is inexcusable of the Marlow parents. Yes, Pam has 8 kids, but they are all away at boarding school and she has two people to help in the house . And I know Rowan is super competent, but at this point the idea is that there will be a farm manager, and I just can't imagine myself agreeing that my daughter should leave school at 16 to run a farm for the benefit of her brother (and we see that she is growing very thin and is clearly working her socks off) while I sat at home and did... What? She's not entertaining on a grand scale the way I imagine Helena Merrick does, she has plenty of staff and we know from End of Term that Pam's cooking is a family joke, she's not looking after children because they're not around... She doesn't even seem to give Rowan a hand with the farm at any point.
