00:00Here in the Forest of Orland in Lancashire, spring has definitely sprung.
00:07Yes, we have lucked out with the weather and we are here to see the season take hold in all its glory.
00:11From breathtaking scenery to sublime sounds, we've even got the taste of spring covered
00:17as this vast landscape transforms into a sensory feast.
00:30The Forest of Orland in Northwest England covers 312 square miles of rural land across Lancashire
00:59and North Yorkshire.
01:03It's designated as a national landscape, a working environment that also supports a wide range of habitats.
01:10It's an area of international significance famed for its rich and varied landscapes and wildlife.
01:17It's moorland, breeding ground for upland birds and its fields have been managed by farmers for hundreds of years.
01:23Some of them are leading the way in their stewardship of this area to conserve and enhance it for future generations.
01:28and for wildlife.
01:30And there is no better time to witness the wonder of this intriguing place and its people than in spring.
01:40It's the busiest time of year for Boland's unsung farming heroes.
01:45Women have always been the backbone I think of most family farm operations and why not sing about it?
01:51The season when nature is at its loudest.
01:55What can you hear?
01:57It's like rippling.
01:59That's wild.
02:00That's cool.
02:01And a critical moment for local producers.
02:06Historically, it was the only way.
02:10The cows were just been carved, starting to go outdoors and this is the time to start making cheese.
02:15Oh, pro.
02:16But no, it doesn't really want to come out. I went a bit deep, didn't I?
02:19That's good.
02:20That's good.
02:21And away from the forest of Boland, Dashiani investigates the rise of rural fly tipping and its impact on farmers.
02:30Farmers don't have a lot of spare money and now for some reason we've got to pay to get rid of other people's rubbish off of our farm.
02:37It's just, it's not fair.
02:51The sight of blossom and lambs are familiar, reassuring signs of spring.
02:56But what's different here in the forest of Boland these days are the sounds.
03:06Colin Price is a sixth generation dairy and sheep farmer.
03:10Who's this?
03:11Well, this one was born yesterday.
03:13The bleat of lambs has always marked the start of spring on the farm.
03:17And there used to be another distinct seasonal sound.
03:21The call of the lapwing.
03:23But not so much anymore.
03:25So, Colin, tell me about the lapwings here. How did things used to be?
03:29Well, there used to be loads of them, loads and loads of them.
03:32Gradually we've seen there's not as many.
03:35The lapwing is a wading bird.
03:39During autumn and winter they tend to stick to the estuaries and the coast.
03:44While in spring they head inland to breed.
03:48Get about February and you'd sort of, they come in flocks then.
03:5430, 40 maybe.
03:55Really?
03:56Yeah.
03:57And when they come back you think that's a sign of spring coming.
03:59And the sounds?
04:00Yeah.
04:01It's quite a distinctive sort of whistling noise really.
04:04Whistling
04:06Whistling
04:07Something like that.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Whistling
04:10Whistling
04:12We call them tewits around here.
04:14That's what they're known as.
04:15Tewits?
04:16Tewits have just been part of the landscape really.
04:19To a point where you took them for granted originally.
04:21Yeah, you took them for granted.
04:22That's true.
04:23So what's it like when suddenly it's just not there in the same numbers anymore?
04:26It doesn't seem right.
04:27I can't just put my finger on how to describe it.
04:30But it's like something's missing out of the ecosystem, innit?
04:35Does it worry you?
04:36It does.
04:37Yeah, it does.
04:39Lapwing numbers have fallen dramatically in the UK.
04:42In almost 60 years they've dropped by 62%.
04:47Changes to their habitat and the increased threat of predators have all had a negative impact on these ground nesting birds.
04:54All right Joe, so I've brought you down to our farthest fields away from the yard.
04:59If you get your binnockers you'll be able to have a look.
05:02Let's have a look.
05:04Oh, there's one quite close, isn't there?
05:06Yeah, there is.
05:07Isn't it?
05:08You've got the buzzards coming over the top.
05:09We have.
05:10And that's something we never used to see.
05:12We never had buzzards and they're everywhere now.
05:14And they're one of the main predators for taking the humans.
05:17So you've got one nearest here.
05:19Yeah.
05:20In the other field, I think that's sort of four or five I saw go up when the buzzards came past.
05:23That's right, yeah.
05:24So probably five or six.
05:26I mean, how does that compare to numbers you might have seen here 20 years ago?
05:29You might have 20, 30 pairs in that one pasture there, which is a 20 acre field, you know.
05:35And now six, eight, ten today.
05:38Yeah.
05:39Colin and his family have always had a deep connection to nature.
05:43While many farmers were embracing more intensive methods, Colin and his father chose to stick with the traditional approach, focusing on low input and organic farming.
05:54Why have you kept it this way?
05:57I try and help them by giving them habitat.
05:59All these fields down here, these meadows, they don't get cut till July.
06:03So that gives the wading birds a chance to get the little humans.
06:08If we had more milk cows, for example, and less sheep, we'd have these meadows cleared and we'd be looking to put fertiliser on to get a crop of grass in May.
06:18Those little tuits are only going to be like the size of your fist and they can't get out of the way, these big modern machines.
06:25I also work with the RSPB. I've done that for 12 years with a Bolland waded project.
06:29Oh, okay.
06:30It started off with just a handful of farms scattered all around the Forest of Bolland area.
06:34And now there's quite a lot of farms in it, which is giving them a bigger picture of the state of the wading bird population.
06:40I don't know if you can imagine this landscape without these birds, but where do you think it goes from here?
06:45Some fields haven't any.
06:47Well, some parts of the country haven't seen them for years, have they?
06:49Yeah.
06:50Yeah, it's a big loss and you wouldn't want to see any more go, would you, really?
06:55No.
06:58Hilary Maguire is the local conservation officer for the RSPB, working with Colin to try and restore the number of lapwings in the area.
07:07Hilary, how are things looking for the lapwing from the RSPB's perspective?
07:11Lapwing alongside many other species have a pretty uncertain future.
07:16The lapwings are on the red list, and red indicates highest level of conservation concern.
07:21Why do you think that is, first and foremost?
07:24There's not kind of one single reason for it, but over the centuries, lapwing have lost what their sort of natural habitat would be, which is, you know, wetlands and marshes for breeding.
07:34So, for the most part in the UK, they tend to breed on farmland.
07:38When it doesn't work well is when farming practices get intensified, and we see the loss and degradation of suitable habitat.
07:47Lapwing nests and chicks are very vulnerable, so they're incubating for just under a month, and then the flightless chicks for just over a month.
07:55Gosh.
07:56Kind of a two-month window where they're incredibly vulnerable to any mechanical operations that might be in the field.
08:02So, that's really where the pinch point is for these species, is they're not able to raise enough chicks.
08:08And our project that includes this farm and the surrounding area, as well as across the RSPB and other organisations,
08:15is trying to understand at what point in the breeding cycle those chicks are being lost.
08:21To do this, they need to collect as much data as possible.
08:26So, this is the trail camera.
08:28So, the key reason that we put these camera traps on nests is to understand the causes of nest failure, ultimately.
08:35So, that could be many things.
08:37Sometimes they can be abandoned due to poor weather.
08:39The nest can be lost sometimes to machinery and also predation.
08:43So, I'm going to put this on a boundary fence because we're really lucky that we've got, actually,
08:48a sitting adult and lapwing nest relatively close to the field boundary here.
08:53She's just sort of in line with the second fence post from that gate, if you want to have a look.
08:58OK.
08:59You can see her head.
09:00Just her head sticking up.
09:01Yes.
09:02So, we can point the camera at the lapwing nest and that should hopefully tell us the outcome of that nesting attempt.
09:08Great.
09:09Have you got some footage, then, that we can have a look at?
09:11I do.
09:12This is from a lapwing nest from last year.
09:15So, this is what we like to see.
09:16This is a successful hatched nest and there's a little chick, a little lapwing chick.
09:23Oh, that's the chick, is it?
09:24Yeah.
09:25Oh, fab.
09:26It's just a day or two old.
09:27So, you can see they're mobile straight away.
09:29Oh, wonderful.
09:30So, overall, how happy are you with the set-up here and everything that Colin is doing?
09:40I think Colin really manages to strike that balance between food production and caring for nature.
09:47So, what can I do, what can members of the public do to help?
09:50I think the key thing is just to be aware, especially if you see signs that are telling you about ground nesting birds, just be conscious.
09:57You know, it's fine to stop and look and enjoy them, but then just keep moving.
10:01And the most important thing for me is to keep your dog on the lead because you don't want your dog going up and approaching a nest and potentially putting the birds off.
10:08So, does Hilary share Colin's fear about the lapwing's future?
10:13I have a lot of hope because there's a lot of awareness.
10:16I think farmers are starting to see these birds dropping off and they don't want to lose them.
10:21They don't want to be the generation that loses them.
10:23They want them there for future generations.
10:25It's a huge challenge, but with the efforts of farmers and conservationists like Colin and Hilary,
10:31there is some hope that the lapwing will once again be the significant soundtrack of the start of spring.
10:38Farming dominates the landscape in the forest of Oland.
10:52The uplands are grazed by sheep and beef cattle, while dairy farmers work the valleys.
10:57The farming community here is vital to the local economy, and there's one woman that's determined to shine a light on that work.
11:10Taria Wilson, a farm advisor, works with the Boland farming community and has embarked upon a deeply personal project that documents local women in farming.
11:20Taria, how did you come up with the idea for this project?
11:24Well, I work with upland farmers, mainly North Lancashire.
11:28I've been working here for over 30 years with them, and I met along the way, and I still do, women who work in farming.
11:36Well, my perception is, and I might be wrong, is if we asked the average member of the public to visualise a farmer, they probably wouldn't think of a woman.
11:44And I just started to think about, I'd like to kind of capture that, to share that kind of snapshot in time about cultural history.
11:53And why was that so important to you? You wanted to change those perceptions slightly?
11:57Yes, but also to recognise and celebrate how women, you know, are actually a key part of that business.
12:04And why did you think photography would be the sort of medium to capture these stories through?
12:08I think it's because you've got that image of people in their natural setting.
12:12The images are more natural rather than the stage, and it's a snapshot in time.
12:16If we came back in another 10 or 20 years, it would be different again.
12:19Was it easy to find people to say yes?
12:22I started off with the people who I knew.
12:24They were unsure about being part of an exhibition that the public would then perhaps feel that they were actually shouting about themselves,
12:32whereas in reality they're really modest.
12:34Or they're people who are actually very keen to share that story between food and farming and the public and engage with the wider public.
12:41Since beginning the project last year, it's grown from just a few friends taking part to 13 local female farmers.
12:50And have you been surprised at how the project's sort of grown from your initial idea?
12:55Yes.
12:56So, I'm quite surprised actually.
12:59We've got a three-month exhibition in Cliff Road Castle Museum through June, July and August for the public.
13:03It's kind of giving that kind of overview of, you know, rural farming, especially on the fringes of the upland areas.
13:09One of the farmers involved is Sarah Whitwell, who runs a 180-acre cattle and sheep farm alongside her husband Graham.
13:20I was going to say, beautiful morning to be up and about, but you've been up since the crocodile.
13:23We've been up early this morning.
13:25Just going to get these sheep fed.
13:27How's lambing been going?
13:29It's been absolutely fantastic.
13:30We've never had a year like it.
13:32Weather's been glorious for us, so it certainly makes our job easier.
13:36We're just giving them a bit extra, because we want that milk production.
13:39Do you know what I mean?
13:40Give the lambs the best start as possible.
13:42So, we're just going to go through and feed them out, call them.
13:45Come out of here! Help! Help! Help!
13:49Terry, are these the kind of photos you love to get?
13:51Yes, definitely. Help! Help!
13:54And with the lambs, what are you checking for?
13:57We're looking to make sure they've got full tummies, nobody lame, sometimes they get bad eyes.
14:02So, this time of year, you can have all sorts of problems happening, but just making sure everybody's happy.
14:07You'll watch them now go gambling and playing.
14:09This is such a beautiful landscape. It's picture perfect.
14:14And the views here, everything about the farm is so gorgeous.
14:18But I imagine it's not without its challenges.
14:20No! Obviously, we are three weeks in now.
14:23We've just basically lambed around 500 sheep.
14:25So, we're tired, we're aching.
14:27If we've got a headache and there's nobody else to come in and help,
14:30you just work your way through it, really.
14:32But that's farming.
14:34And have you always been in farming?
14:35I am born and bred into farming.
14:38Now we're brought up on a dairy farm about five miles that way.
14:41Like my husband will tell you whenever we go anywhere,
14:43I'm always really proud to tell anybody I'm a farmer.
14:46We work really hard.
14:47We're producing food and we're putting that back into the environment.
14:51And why did you feel it was so important to get involved in Tarrier's project?
14:54My granny was a farmer. My mum's been a farmer.
14:57A lot of people do shy away from sharing the knowledge.
15:00And I thought, yeah, I will be involved in this.
15:02Women have always been the backbone, I think, of most family farm operations.
15:07And why not sing about it?
15:09Like many of the farmers Tarrier photographs, Sarah's thinking goes far beyond caring for her livestock.
15:18She's about to start running school visits to the farm and she's also working hard to restore and improve the land for the next generation,
15:26including her own children, Charlotte and Thomas.
15:29What do we need? Everything?
15:31Today, Tarrier is taking pictures of them restoring a hedgerow with holly, hawthorn and hazel.
15:37Can you get that other one, Charlotte?
15:39And I'm the fourth helper.
15:42So you can see this has been coppiced out, the old growth, and then we're going to gap up the gaps with some new plants.
15:49Those are blackthorn. Can you tell?
15:52That's hazel.
15:55So this is a mixed species hedge that we're going to gap up, matching with what we've got growing in the landscape.
16:01And why hedgerows? Why is this so important for you?
16:03Well, there's well over 5,000 metres of hedge on the farm.
16:06I think there's another 2,000 of new planting that we've done.
16:09And we're reconnecting all the habitats up throughout the farm.
16:13And you've got your ace team here today.
16:15And yeah, Thomas and Charlotte, excellent.
16:17I don't think there's many children planted as many hedges as these two.
16:23OK, how's that?
16:26Oh.
16:27I'm loving finding the stones, aren't I?
16:30Crikey.
16:31Sarah, what have you done to me today?
16:32I don't know. I think you're being unlucky.
16:36You are such a production line.
16:38I can't believe the speed you're moving at.
16:40We've had, like, six years' experience now.
16:44We've got it off to a fine tee.
16:47Taria, when you're photographing the farmers that you're meeting,
16:50how long do you spend with them?
16:52Take less than half now to about an hour and a bit.
16:54It depends how I capture the women in their kind of typical role.
16:59I might just drop in and see if I can capture them, you know,
17:02while they're not expecting me,
17:04cos then they're perhaps more comfortable.
17:06The key message I want to get across is that farming and nature go hand in hand.
17:12You can't have one without the other.
17:14And we are just putting a little bit back.
17:18What do you hope that being part of this project will mean, Sarah?
17:21I think it's a nice legacy, something for these to look back on.
17:26I think it highlights how farming is such a critical part of rural communities
17:32and the whole range of roles that women carry out,
17:35which is different to what it would have been 50 years ago or even 20 years ago.
17:38So who knows 15 years from now how we'll look back on these hedgerows
17:43that we're planting today and the farm 15 years in the future.
17:46Yeah, well, Thomas and Charlotte might actually be doing some hedge laying here
17:50maybe in 15 years' time.
17:51Fingers crossed, yeah.
17:52So capturing the present and maybe a glimpse into the future.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Spring in the forest of Boland can be awash with colour,
18:11from its moorland to its hedgerows.
18:16Delicate hues of bluebells carpet the forest floor,
18:21while wildflowers like yellow rattle, eye-bright and buttercups
18:25stretch up towards the spring sunshine.
18:32New life rears its head as lambs stretch their legs.
18:40And badger cubs venture from their sets for the first time,
18:45while the scent of wild garlic fills the woodland air.
18:51And what better accompaniment to this visual treat?
18:55than a spring symphony
18:58of wildlife making itself heard after a long grey winter.
19:04Pied flycatchers and redstarts sing from the trees
19:09and curlews are heard making their nests on farmland.
19:13A valley where some of the most breathtaking views in the area can be found.
19:16A valley where some of the most breathtaking views in the area can be found.
19:34Now popular with walkers, this landscape hasn't always been accessible.
19:39And for many, it still isn't.
19:43Local artist and environmentalist Rob St John is determined to change that,
19:49with an art project that's bringing people from the fringes of Boland into the area.
19:53Historically, it's been a landscape that's been quite inaccessible, very inaccessible.
20:00I think growing up as a kid, I always thought, well, you know, these hills are everybody's.
20:03They really should be able to access them.
20:07I'm doing an arts project called Are You Lost?
20:12Which is engaging with people from Olleri around the fringes of Boland
20:17to get their voices, their perspectives on the landscape,
20:19to engage them with creative activity,
20:23and to help me create a set of film, sound and textile installations,
20:28both in the town, but also in remote and rural places through Boland.
20:33It's about giving people the confidence to say, actually, no, I'm not lost.
20:37I belong in this landscape.
20:40Rob is working with hundreds of people,
20:43and today he's been joined by Aaron and Callum
20:45and two engagement workers from Yes Hub, a youth centre in nearby Nelson.
20:51For Aaron and Callum, it's the first time they've visited this part of Boland,
20:56despite growing up relatively close by.
20:59What's the loudest sound you can hear?
21:00The loudest right now would be the river.
21:02Yeah, it's got to be the waterfalls.
21:08All right, and maybe a bit more tricky one, what's the quietest?
21:11Birds.
21:16I can hear that too, I can hear those birds chirping the way now.
21:21Sound gets lost in a space like this, doesn't it?
21:24And we can see out into this landscape with our eyes,
21:27but we can also know a lot about this landscape through our ears and through listening,
21:32and we call that the soundscape.
21:34So you have things from really down low, the rumble of the river and of rock,
21:41all the way up to the kind of highest tweeting bird.
21:43Everything can find a space for itself to sing.
21:52Should we get some mics out and have a play?
21:54Sure.
21:55We'll just follow our ears, see what we can record together.
21:59Have an adventure.
22:00There's no right or wrong.
22:06Although being opened up to the public 25 years ago by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act,
22:12the forest of Boland has remained inaccessible to many.
22:16Barriers to access comes in many forms.
22:19To get to Boland, there's not a lot of public transport.
22:22If you don't have a car, then it's difficult to get here.
22:26It's the physical kind of practicalities, but it's also this confidence to say,
22:30actually, I belong here too.
22:36It's very out of the way.
22:37It sort of links with towns and villages and those transport pathways is sort of minimal.
22:45I've been recording different footsteps and how it sounds different walking over grass
22:49to walking over the pebbles and all the different sort of rumbles and cracks you hear.
23:00It's cool.
23:02You're experiencing it completely different to how you normally would
23:05and listen to it on a microscopic level.
23:11What made me want to do all this is just to find a sense of discovery
23:14and experience sound in a way that perhaps I never have before.
23:19Finding that escape from reality in a way, the busy nature of towns and cities
23:26to be able to go into a different place and experience it like it's new,
23:31it creates this sense of harmony and peace that you can't find anywhere else.
23:41I think what's wonderful with running these sessions is how people's experience
23:47of these sort of encounters with the natural world are so different,
23:51you know, and so individual a lot of the time.
23:53And it helps them kind of tell stories and tease out things about the places that they're from.
24:03So these are basically like very sensitive waterproofed microphones
24:08and they're really good at picking up vibrations.
24:11A bit like fishing for sound really.
24:13What can you hear?
24:19It's like rippling.
24:21It's like near them swimming around the mountain.
24:23That's wild.
24:24That's cool.
24:25Yeah, this is bad.
24:31Weird sound.
24:32I can almost hear like water droplets rustling against it.
24:40I also just heard a, what sounded like a laser, if that makes any sense.
24:44Like a zip of a sound.
24:46You know, when you hear grasshoppers and crickets above ground,
24:50and they all communicate in this process called stridulation,
24:53where they like rub their back legs together really, really fast
24:56to create that kind of almost like running your thumb down,
24:59down a comb sort of sound.
25:01Well, underwater insects do the same thing as well.
25:03So you get lasers and burrs and creaks and groans going on
25:08from all these tiny little microscopic insects that are in a place like this.
25:23I've lived around here, sort of, all my life.
25:26So being able to sort of appreciate it like this is, yeah, something special.
25:34It's a very East Lancashire sort of phenomenon of living in the town
25:37and being able to see the fells, but not always being able to easily get to them.
25:42And in a lot of ways, these fells belong to everybody, right?
25:46They're here for us all to enjoy.
25:51Mevish Ashraf from Yes Hub has been helping engage people with the project.
25:57Seeing how much of an impact it has on their wellbeing.
26:00We do do a weekly walk, but that's only for about an hour.
26:02But here is just something else.
26:04Here it's just totally tranquil.
26:06Tranquil.
26:11How's it been for you guys kind of doing our sessions together,
26:14thinking about bowling and thinking about sound?
26:17I think it's got us thinking a lot more critically about where we live,
26:21all the different sounds and how certain things influence different sounds,
26:26especially sort of sound pollution and stuff.
26:27Yeah.
26:28You know, you come out here and you can hear a pin drop.
26:32It's nice.
26:33It's refreshing.
26:37It's definitely been a chance to reflect on the sounds and everything that I take for granted in life.
26:42Because there's some things that you just don't think about until given the chance to sit and listen.
26:49You know, you find peace in yourself.
26:50It's great to bring them out into this landscape and hopefully feel inspired to be able to come out here themselves.
27:05Through sound, through presence, through listening, Rob is opening up this landscape for people in a whole new way.
27:21But not everyone is as appreciative of the countryside.
27:26Fly tipping is unfortunately something we see far too often in our countryside.
27:32And last year, the overall number of incidents soared.
27:36But that doesn't reflect the true impact of illegal rubbish dumping on some rural communities,
27:41with a clear up thought to be costing farmers and councils millions.
27:48Dashiani investigates.
27:52Fly tipping is getting worse.
27:54The latest government statistics show there were more than 1.15 million fly tipping incidents in 2023-24 in England alone.
28:04That's up 6% on the previous year.
28:07The same figures show a rise in fly tipping on farms of nearly 2%.
28:12But those raw statistics simply don't reveal the real scale of the problem in our countryside.
28:18Even the government admits that most cases of fly tipping on farms and private land are never reported.
28:25Meaning the actual number of fly tipping incidents is likely to be much, much higher.
28:32Evie Hunter grows cereal on nearly 4,000 acres in Hertfordshire.
28:36Last month, she says she found more than 40 tonnes of rubbish dumped in this field.
28:42This is actually quite a small pile of rubbish now.
28:45It was spread all the way across here.
28:47And there's still bits of rubbish, but yeah, this is sort of what we're left with now.
28:51We had sinks, doors, toilets, showers, food waste, everything.
28:59And how did you feel when you came in and you saw all of this?
29:03Disrespected. I think angry.
29:06It sort of feels like farmers are being hit from all angles at the minute.
29:10And then when something like this happens, it's just, yeah, it's too much.
29:14How did it get to be that much?
29:16I think they have been coming over a number of weeks, which is very frustrating for us.
29:22We don't tend to come into the fields between autumn and spring, so we haven't noticed.
29:28Evie says that while the farm's regularly fly tipped, they've never seen anything on this scale before.
29:34And when rubbish is dumped on private farmland or even on the land of a tenant farmer like Evie,
29:39they are the ones who have to pay for it to be cleared away.
29:42How much is it costing you to get rid of all of this?
29:45So far, £6,000.
29:47And how easy is that for you to pay?
29:50Not really. We're probably going to put it through the insurance, but there will still be a £1,500 excess.
29:57So, yeah, it's a lot of money whichever way you do it.
30:00Evie has even turned detective to find out who the waste belonged to, leading her to the identities of some of the fly tippers.
30:09So, I actually went through a lot of the rubbish and found invoices from builders' merchants
30:16and addresses for deliveries that people have had to their houses.
30:20Evie called the businesses on the invoices and was told they'd hired a firm to take rubbish away.
30:26They gave her details of the firm's phone number, their official waste carrier licence,
30:30and even sent pictures of the van used to take the rubbish away.
30:34What was their reaction when they found out their waste, which they thought was being legally disposed of,
30:39had ended up in your field?
30:41They were mostly quite shocked, actually, and felt really bad for me that we had ended up with their rubbish.
30:48When I sort of questioned the legality of everything and did you see a waste transfer note,
30:53some of them then hesitated and then I knew that they hadn't actually even asked those questions,
30:58which is frustrating.
30:59And did you try calling the people who fly tip this waste?
31:03Yeah, I did try and call two of them. One of them I got through to but just got hung up on.
31:08Would you be willing to try calling them again?
31:10Yeah, we could give it a go.
31:12Countryfile has checked the information Evie found and confirmed that those involved
31:17have genuine government-issued waste carrier licences,
31:20but that didn't prevent the waste from being dumped on her farm.
31:24Oh, hello. I just wondered, do you do house rubbish clearance?
31:31You do?
31:33Oh, that's interesting. I think actually a load of it's ended up on my farm.
31:37Someone has paid you to take rubbish away and you've dumped it in my field.
31:42And I'd like you to come and get it please.
31:45What did he say to you?
31:47He just pretended he didn't understand.
31:49So, you know who did this, you've got their details, you've actually spoken to them.
31:55What else are you going to do with that information?
31:57I've already passed it on to the rural police, the environment agency and the council,
32:03but now it's frustrating for me because, you know, I don't actually know what they're going to do with it.
32:07How hopeful are you that they will do something with it?
32:10Honestly, not very hopeful.
32:14So how much is fly-tipping costing farmers?
32:17Countryfile was given exclusive access to figures from NFU Mutual, a leading rural insurer.
32:24They've seen a massive spike in large claims linked to fly-tipping,
32:28with last year accounting for more than 20% of the claims they've received in the last 10 years.
32:34And the average claim from a farmer to clear up waste was £13,000.
32:39So fly-tipping in our countryside is widespread, but significantly under-reported.
32:46Tim Bamford is from the Countryland and Business Association.
32:51Why are farmers sometimes reluctant to report fly-tipping on their land?
32:55So I think there are risks of intimidation from criminal gangs, and I think there's apathy.
33:00There's concerns with apathy by the council and government that actually it's not being taken seriously,
33:04and so why should they?
33:06And it's just easier just to get on and dispose of it themselves, albeit at their own cost.
33:10How much do you think it is costing farmers to clear up fly-tipped rubbish every year?
33:14So at the CLA, we believe that it's costing hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds a year to farmers and rural businesses to clear up this rubbish.
33:22But I've got members not far from here who are paying over six figures a year just to clear up fly-tipped waste.
33:29That's £100,000 that is taken out of their business. They can't get it back, and there's only so much money that they can make on a good year from growing food that we need to eat.
33:39Who do you think should be footing the bill to clear this up?
33:42Fundamentally, I think government and local authorities need to start taking the cost,
33:47and then pass that on to the criminals that they will catch through increased enforcement actions.
33:53Countryfile has spoken to farmers who say they're burning or burying the waste to avoid having to pay for it to be cleared away.
34:01Others have become so frustrated by fly-tipping, they've ended up taking matters into their own hands.
34:07Catching fly-tippers and making them take their waste away, or even tracking them down and returning the waste to them.
34:15So who is responsible for tackling the illegal waste and catching the fly-tippers?
34:21Well, that depends.
34:23If you see someone actually dumping waste, you're supposed to call the police on 101.
34:29After that, in England, bigger fly-tipping incidents involving organised crime or hazardous waste are investigated by the Environment Agency.
34:38But smaller ones, and that's the vast majority, are dealt with by local councils.
34:44They can investigate incidents, including those on private land, and take action.
34:50But even with more fly-tipping incidents happening, the number of prosecutions is still relatively low.
34:56Countryfile analysed the latest figures and found only around 0.1% of fly-tipping incidents in England lead to a prosecution,
35:05with just under 1,600 successful cases, nearly 5% fewer prosecutions than the year before.
35:12Fixed penalty notices are more common as they're quicker and cheaper for councils to use.
35:17There were just over 63,000 of these issued in connection with fly-tipping, but again, that's down 5% on the previous year.
35:26Charlotte Payne is Waste Policy Officer for the District Council's network, the part of local government generally responsible for clearing up fly-tipping.
35:35So, if more rubbish is being dumped, why are the number of prosecutions and fines falling?
35:42So the figures show that the average fine was £530, and that would be against a backdrop of having spent thousands to take that case to court.
35:51So councils need to weigh up the value of that from council taxpayers' money to take that through if we're not going to see fines that are going to genuinely deter people.
36:01So I think that's a part of the problem, is making sure that the system is reformed to ensure that there is adequate deterrent.
36:09So there's a cost issue here. It's not financially viable for councils to go after fly-tippers, because it ends up costing them more.
36:17But at the end of the day, everyone else suffers and the environment suffers.
36:21Yeah, and there's other issues as well, so we have to have the evidence to be able to do that.
36:25And given that criminals are becoming smarter to make sure that personal information is not included in the fly-tips,
36:30it becomes almost impossible to take either enforcement action, whether that be through a fixed penalty notice or taking it through to court.
36:38One area that seems to be having some success tackling fly-tipping with a more proactive approach is Dorset.
36:46Chris Birch is an enforcement officer focusing on fly-tipping, part of a new initiative jointly funded by the council and local crime commissioner.
36:55We're working with the farmers, obviously, and we're trying to get as much signage out as we can to them.
37:00Chris investigates every fly-tipping incident reported and tries to track down the culprits.
37:06Since he started, Dorset's seen a nearly 80% increase in fines for fly-tipping.
37:11I was brought up better than that, wasn't you? I mean, when did dumping stuff in a country of labour become socially acceptable?
37:17When you're rummaging through all this rubbish, what sort of evidence are you looking for?
37:21Basically anything personal identification. I mean, that's been in the past bank statements, receipts, anything that we consider identification, basically.
37:29Without that, we'd be relying on CCTV or, you know, that kind of dash cam footage, which we do get, but it's in the minority compared to the actual evidence we find.
37:38Part of Chris's role is working with landowners.
37:42A couple of weeks ago, we had some asbestos tipped in this gateway.
37:46Ralph Hoppe works on a local estate, which he says is fly-tipped pretty much every week.
37:52Because it has this waste, we have to have it cleared up straight away as soon as it was reported to us.
37:56And now we've been dumped with some hedge clippings and other waste in the meantime.
38:01This waste was dumped next to a pristine chalk stream.
38:05You pulled Chris straight away, then?
38:07Yes, it's quite easy now to just send Chris a photo of it so he gets an idea of what's there.
38:12And are you seeing fewer incidents of fly-tipping as a result?
38:15Yes, definitely. Because Chris is helping on the ground, getting things cleared up.
38:19It's taking less time, so there's less visual things on the ground for people to see and think, oh, I can also tip there. No-one will notice.
38:25Somebody's probably been out in the neighbourhood doing a job for someone maybe, oh, I can cut your bushes for 50 quid.
38:31And then, of course, they then haven't got rid of it the correct way. They don't want to pay to go to the sit.
38:37Dorset's targeted approach to fly-tipping seems to be something that could work more widely.
38:43Judith Skillbeck from the police's National Rural Crime Unit believes the current system, with its split responsibilities for fly-tipping, needs reform.
38:53Why is it so difficult to bring any legal enforcement against fly-tippers?
38:59I think largely because the powers are devolved across three parts of the law.
39:03You've got the Environment Agency, you've got the local authorities and you've got the police.
39:07And if you put all their powers together, it would be quite powerful.
39:10I think that something that would make a real difference would be if you actually had one single point of contact dedicated to dealing with fly-tipping within each police force.
39:21When it comes to stopping fly-tipping, what do you think the average person on the street needs to know?
39:26They need to know that they're responsible for their wastes.
39:29If you have waste coming out of your own house that you can't take to your own council depot,
39:33then you need to ensure that the person that you're paying to take it away actually has a waste carrier's licence.
39:38And you can find that by looking on the public register on the government website
39:42and you can check that the person that you're dealing with is actually legitimate and is going to deal with it appropriately.
39:48So it's up to us to check if the person we're paying to remove our rubbish has an official waste carrier's licence.
39:56And if we don't, we can be fined if it's then fly-tipped.
40:00But I want to find out how easy it is to get one of these licences.
40:03So I'm on the UK government's website and I'm going to register for a free lower-tier waste carrier licence.
40:09I'm going to call my company Flighter for Sink. Very catchy.
40:12All I have to do is enter in my name, my email and my address.
40:16No need for passport details or official ID.
40:19And I now have my own waste carrier licence, which means I can legally dispose of my own waste.
40:25But if I want to charge people to dispose of their waste, then I need to upgrade my licence to a higher-tier waste carrier licence,
40:32which will cost me £154. But it's pretty much the same process. The system doesn't seem that robust.
40:40The government says it will announce plans imminently to tighten up the system in England.
40:45Mary Cray is the minister responsible for waste and recycling. What do you make of this?
40:50What I see here is wood, which could be used at the very least for energy from waste, but could be used in construction.
40:58I see building rubble. So it's a tragedy for our materials economy that this is being lost into the landscape.
41:06But it's also a tragedy to have to deal with this type of crime.
41:10Earlier on, I went onto the government website and I applied for my own carrier licence.
41:15And it was super easy. No one asked me if I even knew where to dispose of stuff.
41:21And I got that licence. The system isn't that robust at the moment, is it?
41:25We've inherited a broken system. And what we're clear about is that we are going to tighten that system up.
41:30What we're doing is reforming the carrier, brokers, dealers regime,
41:34so that everyone who applies for a waste permit has to show that they've got technical competence
41:39and that they display their permit number on any literature and advertising that they have.
41:45There will be background checks into those people.
41:48So you won't be getting those licences if, for example, you've got a criminal history of fly tipping.
41:54Farmers have told us that because it's costing them so much money to get rid of rubbish like this,
41:59they're resorting to burning it or burying it, neither of which is good for the environment.
42:04Well, farmers shouldn't be burying waste that has been dumped on their land because they themselves are then committing a crime.
42:09So if you're burying waste, you need a permit to bury waste.
42:13And I'm afraid that's made them, they've just turned themselves possibly inadvertently.
42:17But you can see why they're doing it. It might not be legal. It might not be right.
42:20But when you ask victims to have to deal with the crime themselves, particularly financially,
42:25they aren't going to want to do that. They may not even be in a position to do that.
42:29We totally understand the problems that farmers face with fly tipping.
42:34We're taking action as government. We're having a big review of council's powers and encouraging them to use those powers to seize and crush criminals' vehicles,
42:45tightening up the permitting regime, tightening up the sentencing.
42:51While government promises to crack down may be welcome, realistically, fly tipping remains an incredibly challenging crime to combat.
42:59And farmers like Evie Hunter say it's unreasonable to expect them to foot the bill.
43:04Farmers don't have a lot of spare money. It doesn't make a lot of money doing farming anyway.
43:09And now, for some reason, we've got to pay to get rid of other people's rubbish off of our farm. It's just, it's not fair.
43:15It's been a mixed picture for the weather across the country this week. So will things pick up as we head towards May?
43:33Here's your Countryfile forecast.
43:45Hello. Temperatures are set to rise across all parts of the UK over the next few days,
43:49and in places it will become very warm.
43:51It's not been a bad day today, mind you, for England and Wales.
43:53Plenty of sunshine around, temperatures up to 22 degrees Celsius, but it hasn't been sunny everywhere.
43:59This satellite picture shows quite extensive cloud across Northern Ireland and Scotland,
44:03where we had weather fronts, bringing at times outbreaks of rain.
44:06So it was a little bit cooler and cloudier here.
44:10Now, over the course of spring so far, it has been very dry,
44:14particularly across eastern areas of the UK and central southern England.
44:17Just 18% of the spring average rainfall so far.
44:21Dry soils like this can actually help temperatures to rise very quickly when we see warm spells come along.
44:27I think that's going to be playing a part in the week ahead, as we'll see.
44:31Overnight tonight, a few mist and fog patches for England and Wales.
44:34Our breaks of rain continue to affect the Hebrides and the Highlands of Scotland,
44:38staying quite cloudy generally across these northwestern areas,
44:41and that cloud keeping the temperatures up at around 10 or 11 degrees.
44:45But over the next few days, it's this area of high pressure that's set to build across the UK
44:49that's bringing a fine spell of weather with those rising temperatures.
44:53If we look at the temperature anomaly charts,
44:56we are towards the warmer end of what we'd expect to see at this time of the year.
45:01So, yeah, very warm weather on the cards for this time of the year.
45:05Now, mist and fog patches Monday morning will clear pretty quickly across England and Wales.
45:08We'll be left with blue sunny skies.
45:10Northern Ireland and Scotland starting cloudy.
45:12The rain tending to trickle its way a bit further north.
45:15So ending the afternoon in Orkney, the weather tending to brighten up slowly across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
45:20Still quite warm here, but the highest temperatures across England and Wales.
45:24Widely low to mid-twenties.
45:26It will feel warm in that sunshine.
45:28We've got more of that sunshine to go around on Tuesday.
45:31With the high pressure a bit more established,
45:33we'll start to see more of those sunniest skies pushing into Scotland.
45:36And even this area of cloud across the far north should tend to thin and break up to give some brighter weather too.
45:41Temperatures continue to climb.
45:43So 24, possibly 25 degrees in the very warmest areas through Tuesday afternoon.
45:50And it's a case of spot the difference really for Wednesday.
45:53Again, loads more in the way of sunshine to come across the UK.
45:56Maybe a few coastal areas of mist and fog here and there.
46:00Our temperatures, well, still well above average for the time of year.
46:04I think we could see 25 or 26 as we head through Wednesday afternoon.
46:08So feeling very warm in the sunshine into the low 20s as well for Scotland and for Northern Ireland.
46:13Thursday, we see something of a change.
46:16High pressure in the Atlantic will start to push in some cooler air into the north of the UK.
46:21But at the same time, we'll start to get a zone of warmer air coming up from France.
46:25And so mixed weather fortunes really for Thursday.
46:28Cloudier weather in the northwest with the temperatures starting to drop and a few showers.
46:32In the south, it will get hotter.
46:35Now, this could be the hottest day.
46:36I think we'll see temperatures 27, 28, possibly even a 29 in the warmest spot for Thursday.
46:42This, of course, the first day of May.
46:44And so the April temperature record shouldn't be under threat.
46:47Now, for Friday, probably a bit more in the way of high clouds spilling southwards across England and Wales.
46:53The cooler and fresher air starting to feed in more widely.
46:56Still 24 degrees, though, across southern parts of England and Wales.
46:59So it will still feel warm in that hazy sunshine.
47:02Further north, those temperatures generally into the high teens.
47:05So a lot of dry weather to come over the next few days.
47:08And at times, it will become very warm as well.
47:10Bye for now.
47:11We're exploring the season in the forest of Boland, where I've been lucky enough to catch sight of a now rare spring species, the lapwing.
47:32Oh, there's one quite close, isn't there?
47:34Yeah, there is.
47:35Margarita joined a photographer documenting the work of an inspirational upland farmer.
47:42The key message I want to get across is that farming and nature go hand in hand.
47:47You can't have one without the other.
47:49And we've been taking in the sounds of spring.
47:53What can you hear?
47:54It's like rippling.
47:56That's wild.
47:57That's cool.
47:58We've been celebrating the season in all its glory.
48:04But what about the taste of spring?
48:07Award-winning cheesemaker Andy Swinsko believes his produce perfectly reflects this time of year in the forest of Boland.
48:18So we are here to talk spring cheese.
48:22Yes.
48:23I associate spring with lambs and asparagus and other things.
48:27It's not necessarily cheese.
48:28Is it a thing, spring cheese?
48:29Historically, it was the only way.
48:31You know, we only milked in the spring and summer, and this would be the first flush of milk.
48:35You know, the cows were just being carved, starting to go outdoors, and this is the time to start making cheese.
48:41The cheese we're going to make today, we only make seasonally.
48:43Local milk from the forest of Boland, farming really historically, kind of on traditional paths.
48:48And then we're going to make the best of the forest of the forest of the forest.
48:50This sounds amazing.
48:51So, milk is going in now.
48:52Shall we go and get started?
48:53Yeah, let's go and join Cathy, make some cheese.
48:54OK.
48:55How are you getting on, Cathy?
49:01All good.
49:02Cathy has been running the business alongside husband Andy since it started 14 years ago.
49:09So, what have we got here then?
49:10So, this is our vat of milk that we've been slowly acidifying overnight.
49:15The cream has rose to the surface, so there's a lovely layer of cream here that we can take off to make butter.
49:22And then underneath, we have the set curd, which we're going to hand ladle into little moulds.
49:27So, we're just going to very gently take the cream off the top.
49:32I'm being really careful because I don't want to damage the curd that's underneath, but I definitely want all this really nice butter.
49:40While most milk today is pasteurised to kill harmful bacteria, Andy uses raw milk to make his spring cheese, a traditional method that dates back centuries.
49:53It's not a decision we take lightly, really.
49:55We have to have that control, that real close relationship with the farm that's nearby, small herd, animals farmed in the right way.
50:03It's very tightly regulated, you know, and we have to make sure that we're ticking all of those boxes.
50:08People with weaker immune systems, such as the elderly, pregnant women and children, are advised not to consume raw milk or its products, as it might contain harmful bacteria that could cause food poisoning.
50:21That is a real intimate connection between cheese maker and farmer.
50:25You have to know how they are farming, and you have to know the animals, and you have to be completely confident they're in good health.
50:31Yeah, it has to be done in the right way.
50:33What we try and champion in the whole place that we do here is people still making traditional cheese by hand on the farm.
50:39And part of that is using the milk fresh raw from the cows, really because it just preserves the kind of identity of the place.
50:48Hopefully you get flavours that are not necessarily stronger or better, but they are unique to here, this place, the Forest of Poland.
50:55You kind of get sort of a bit of a vintage in the way you would with wine, right?
50:59Yeah, exactly, and that's one of the great things about this cheese now, is it's quite clean, it's zesty, it's fresh.
51:05So it just, for me, suits well with spring, where we're at. And for me, that's exciting.
51:10That's all the buttermilk removed. I've been told the next stage takes a bit of skill.
51:16Now we've got the curd left, and we're going to gently scoop it into these little moulds.
51:22OK.
51:23So I do it in quite a funny way, I sort of put the scoop on top like that.
51:27Yeah.
51:28And then...
51:29A little tear.
51:30Cut through.
51:31Rotate.
51:32Rotate.
51:33And hopefully you get a perfect little scoop.
51:36Do you know, I genuinely had no idea it was sort of so lovingly scooped and prepared.
51:42This is what gives it this amazing texture.
51:45OK, I've got this.
51:48Oh, he's good.
51:49Oh, right.
51:50Yeah, but it doesn't really want to come out.
51:52I might have gone a bit too... Oh, I went a bit deep, didn't I?
51:54That's good.
51:55And then you, it's just about delivery here, you've got to just unscoop it quite gently, right?
51:59Yeah, gently like that. Perfect.
52:01Good start?
52:02Very good start. Well done.
52:04Andy, you talked about your close connection with the local farm.
52:08Yeah.
52:09How important is the cow's diet?
52:12Oh, huge.
52:13So the French say you can't make quality cheese unless you have 11 types of grass in your field.
52:17You know, rather than just this standard type of grass.
52:19When you get these diverse traditional pastures, the meadowland that you'll get, you know, in the protected areas, like in the forest of Boland,
52:26you get what we call a diversity in your sword, and that means when you take a portion of grass,
52:31you'll have all different ranges of grasses and wildflowers and herbage in it,
52:35and that will make a difference to the flavours and the fats in the final cheese.
52:39So this is the second scoop going in.
52:43Second scoop.
52:45We've filled 90 moulds with the first layer of curd, and the perforations help drain the whey, that excess liquid.
52:52And as you can see, the curd has just dropped a little bit in the mould to allow us to keep adding more and more scoops.
53:00So we'll probably go round about six times doing this.
53:04Six. Yeah, OK.
53:06I mean, that's a good one. That's lost about a centimetre.
53:09It's nice and flat, isn't it?
53:10Absolutely.
53:11And there's lots of room in there now.
53:13Each mould holds 850 millilitres of curd, and it's a job that can't be rushed.
53:20We're about halfway through, and so we're going to keep going round.
53:23And here, we've got, what, a third of a bucket of just liquid that's coming off?
53:28The whey that's draining down.
53:29Now, traditionally, that would go to the pigs.
53:31There's a couple of pigs down the bottom of the road where we take them to.
53:34As Cathy scoops, the whey drains from the curd.
53:37I'm checking the next stage of the process after they've been removed from their moulds.
53:42So these are the ones that made last week.
53:45So you'll see how far they've drained down.
53:47OK.
53:48And then they stay in here for roughly just shy of a week until they start to form a rind.
53:54Now, to help get air around them, we need to just flip them.
53:56So these get flipped every day.
53:58Now, watch them because the rind can slip off, but just flip them over.
54:01Last week's cheese is flipped daily for a week, and then it's left to mature for another seven days.
54:08Clearly, the process can't be rushed.
54:11Wisdom passed down through generations of cheesemakers.
54:15My great-grandma used to make cheese.
54:17That was her role on the farm, and she used to make cheese down in Gloucester.
54:21The famous brands of traditional farmhouse cheese, Mrs Montgomery's Cheddar,
54:25Mrs Appleby's Cheshire, Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire, those were all ladies.
54:30And I think it's often underrated the impact that those ladies had on British culture,
54:36but also on British food.
54:37You know, the way that industrial factory-made cheddar today is a cheddar recipe that was developed by farmers' wives.
54:43Wow.
54:44When I was growing up, we inherited off my great-grandma her cheesemaking notes.
54:49That's amazing.
54:50So, Windsor Castle of World Dairy.
54:52Windsor Castle.
54:53Windsor Castle.
54:54That's where these notes come from, which she then kept to make cheese.
54:57They educated dairy maids there because they had this prestigious, perfect dairy.
55:02And so, there would have been a reasonable number of dairy maids passing through there,
55:06but this is the only record that I've seen of somebody who went through.
55:09Let's have a look, then.
55:10So, it's beautiful handwriting.
55:12Yes.
55:13And it says at the top, just cheese notes.
55:14Cheese notes.
55:15That's it, cheese notes underlined.
55:16And what was it?
55:17June 1912.
55:18June 1912.
55:19So, she was 22 when she went away.
55:21Yes.
55:22But what an heirloom to have.
55:23I mean, this is just remarkable and in such great condition as well.
55:27That's been lovingly passed down the family, has it?
55:30Yes.
55:31I mean, we're very lucky that my grandma kept it and then gave it to my mum.
55:34There you go.
55:35A little bit of royal heritage in your family line.
55:38And wouldn't Andy's great-grandmother be proud of this?
55:46Eight years ago, Andy created this shop, totally dedicated to artisan cheese,
55:52including his most coveted Hebden cow.
55:57Here he is.
55:58Look at this.
55:59Straight from the maturation fridge.
56:01Wow.
56:02So, they're about two weeks old now.
56:04They will break down and become even softer.
56:06We've got some on the counter there which are three weeks old
56:09and they go even oozy and creamier.
56:11So, spring cheese.
56:12What would you eat spring cheese with?
56:13A little bit of rocket.
56:15All these fresh spring greens.
56:17You can just make a really fresh, clean green salad.
56:20There you go.
56:21Dig in.
56:22Thank you very much.
56:23You do as well.
56:24Let's take out a mouthful of spring.
56:30Mmm.
56:31Fresh, isn't it?
56:32That is delicious.
56:34You don't get better taste than Boland here.
56:36This is from what's...
56:37This is the taste of the place.
56:39Andy, it's been such a pleasure to get to understand this
56:41and to ultimately taste it as well.
56:43So, thank you very much.
56:44No, thank you.
56:45All right, come on then.
56:46Have some more.
56:47Margarita, how's it going?
57:00Hi, great.
57:01I found the most peaceful spot in the forest of Boland.
57:03Oh my goodness, you have.
57:04And haven't we been very fortunate here?
57:07Isn't it beautiful?
57:08Now, I think I found a potential new career as an aspiring cheese maker.
57:13I didn't want to...
57:14Oh, how lovely!
57:15Have all the fun.
57:16So, I brought you a very special raw milk cheese.
57:20Thank you so much.
57:21It's been gently maturing in my pocket for a little bit.
57:24So, don't leave it too long, but do enjoy it.
57:26That's all we've got time for this week in the forest of Boland.
57:28But join us next week when?
57:29It's going to be a busy one.
57:30We're joining Adam, Sammy and Matt on their farms as lambing is in full swing.
57:35What we've got in here are a bunch of ewes and lambs.
57:38Let me just see if I can catch one.
57:40Easier said than done.
57:41Oh.
57:44Crook always comes in handy.
57:46I can hear them.
57:47They're coming.
57:48Come on, girls.
57:52Got you.
57:53Growing up, lambing was brilliant training for the skilled rugby team.
57:57Good girl.
57:58Swing it and any mucus or anything that's got down in its lungs, hopefully you dislodge it.
58:03This is always a hard bit because you know it's living, but you just need it to take that first cough.
58:10That's next Sunday at 7 o'clock.
58:14So, more spring to come.
58:15We'll see you then.
58:16Fine.
58:17Now, I had cheese in my pockets.
58:18Do you have any crackers in your pockets?
58:19No.
58:20Up to the local property, the search for Scotland's home of the year is on iPlayer.
58:29Just press red.
58:30Also there, she was drawn into a life with Elvis Presley.
58:34Love, fantasy and fame in the biopic Priscilla.
58:38Watch now.
58:39New Antiques Roadshow in the Scottish Borders, coming up next on BBC One.
58:44Videos.
58:47shared with me.
58:48By cooking for fun, video.
58:49My parents heard performances on Sunday in back and forth.
58:50And every sled did enjoy it.
58:51You don't everything.
58:53We have to do so often as a legacy back in wherever you're all about.
58:54Weving the connect.
58:55We'll switch together.
58:56We'll bring back some food in reference toLike Fantastic putters.
