The BBC came up on a blustery day last week and interviewed me for an item on BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme and Radio Newcastle.  It was a very different experience and I'm sure I waffled on as when you're told to "act naturally" it has the opposite effect!  Anyway, Radio Newcastle around 11.20 this Wednesday 11th December and I d...
