SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b045kcjh (Listen) SAT A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 5 SAT SAT As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz SAT explores the life, work and passion of the SAT poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring SAT international figure in the cultural imagination? SAT SAT Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, SAT Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory SAT figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for SAT years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, SAT known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to SAT Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary SAT Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional SAT rock star. SAT SAT An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage SAT fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still SAT touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of SAT popularity. SAT SAT In the final episode, Cohen begins the 1990s as a hugely SAT successful songwriter, poet and performer. Yet spiritual SAT crises still plague him, and he retreats to the San Gabriel SAT Mountains to spend time with his guru. By 2006, he's forced SAT to start touring again when evidence emerges that a SAT long-time employee and friend may have stolen millions of SAT dollars from him.

SAT SAT Originally produced for Chichester Festival in 2013, David SAT Edgar's provocative and witty play is a fiction rooted in SAT fact that projects ahead to imagine what might be the final SAT consequences of the Coalition government - which in itself SAT seemed so unimaginable only four years ago.

It begins to dawn on one of them that his SAT best friend might actually be hatching a bloody murderous SAT revenge. SAT SAT The main character in Nicholson Baker's latest novel SAT "Travelling Sprinkler" is a poet who has fallen out of love SAT with writing poems. Trying to become a songwriter, we see SAT his personal life woven into his lyrics. SAT SAT The work of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian is characterised by SAT geometric compositions using blocks of primary colours. A SAT major new exhibition at Tate Liverpool looks at how his work SAT evolved as he moved from studios in Paris and London to New SAT York. SAT SAT Did you know that Vincent Van Gogh lived and worked in SAT London? His job was at an art dealers in Covent Garden and SAT he lived in Brixton. A new audio walk "At the Crossroads SAT with Vincent" explores turning-points in life through the SAT perspective of Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo. It's SAT non site-specific and anyone can be take part anywhere in SAT the world. Is it enjoyable? Informative? Enlightening? SAT SAT Hotel is the fourth play from Polly Stenham, whose debut was SAT staged at The Royal Court when she was only 19.

SAT SAT Imagine too those early broadcasters, standing in front of SAT microphones, clearing their throats before they spoke to... SAT well, who? The unknown, unseen audience. If they were a SAT little unsure of themselves, it would be little surprise, SAT since they had only the vaguest sense of who was listening - SAT or if anyone was at all. And if they couldn't see the whites SAT of their listeners' eyes, how would they know, as MP Lady SAT Astor laments in 1937, whether they were "dozin' off"? SAT SAT Matthew Sweet unearths some of the earliest archive SAT recordings in existence and uncovers a complicated SAT relationship between the BBC and its vast, invisible SAT audience. From football by numbers to tap dancing on the SAT radio; from tips on how to plant your dahlias to the SAT aspirational fantasies of overwrought housewives. SAT SAT The new medium was excitingly and scarily new and it threw SAT up all sorts of unexpected questions. How should people SAT listen at home? ("Try turning out the lights, so that your SAT eye is not caught by familiar objects in the room" said the SAT BBC.) What should "listeners" be called? ("Radiauds" SAT suggested a correspondent to the Radio Times.) And how could SAT an organisation made up almost entirely of middle class SAT people in dinner jackets speak authentically to a flat SAT cap-wearing, working class audience? SAT SAT Matthew looks back at the first editions of the Radio Times, SAT rifles through the private memos of BBC staff and talks to SAT people who remember listening to the radio as children in SAT the 1930s. What he finds contradicts the stereotype of the SAT austere, Reithian BBC. SAT SAT Produced by Hannah Marshall SAT Executive Producer: Elizabeth Burke SAT A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4.

SAT SAT Anne and John debate NATO's future in front of an audience SAT at the Royal United Services Institute in Whitehall.

SAT SAT LAST WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION SAT SAT Why would Paul Weller come before Eric Clapton in St Ives, SAT but the other way round in Torquay? And why are you Destined SAT to pronounce the link incorrectly? SAT SAT SAT SAT This refers to afternoon tea. Paul Weller and Eric Clapton SAT might suggest the rock groups The Jam and Cream. SAT Traditionally they spread the jam on before adding the cream SAT in Cornwall, and the other way round in Devon. SAT SAT SAT SAT The common factor is the scone, which can be pronounced in a SAT number of ways - although it’s most unlikely you’d pronounce SAT it ‘scoon’, like the Stone of Scone, otherwise known as the SAT Stone of Destiny, the traditional place of coronation of the SAT Kings of Scotland, England and the United Kingdom.

SUN SUN Peace Brigades International (PBI) SUN Peace Brigades International (PBI) SUN trains and sends international volunteers to provide SUN life-saving protection to human rights defenders who face SUN violent reprisals because of the work they do. PBI bears SUN witness in places where there is little international SUN presence. Human rights defenders and their families feel SUN safer due to PBI’s presence and many say they owe their SUN lives to PBI. SUN SUN Dan Slee and community leader Gildardo Tuburquía. SUN SUN Dan Slee is from the UK and was a volunteer for PBI in SUN Colombia where he accompanied community leader Gildardo SUN Tuburquía and other members of the San José de Apartadó SUN Peace Community. SUN SUN The Peace Community is a collective of 500 farmers who were SUN displaced from their land due to the armed conflict that SUN surrounds them and financial interests in their very fertile SUN land. They have declared themselves a peace community that SUN is dedicated to living by principles of non-violence and SUN environmental sustainability. Dan and other PBI volunteers SUN have offered them vital moral support and protection for SUN over 15 years to support them in their efforts to stay on SUN their land and protect their local resources for future SUN generations. They have returned to their land and declared SUN themselves a peace community that is dedicated to living by SUN principles of non-violence and environmental sustainability. SUN SUN Dan on horseback in the community SUN PBI’s model of protecting HRDs involves training ordinary SUN people to become international observers to offer one year SUN of their lives to go abroad and stand by the side of human SUN rights defenders who are under threat as a result of their SUN work. The PBI accompanier is effective precisely because SUN he/she is a visible reminder of international concern. PBI SUN currently has international volunteers in Colombia, SUN Guatemala, Mexico, Kenya and Honduras offering protection to SUN over 300 human rights defenders at risk. SUN SUN Dan accompanying indigenous community members from SUN south-west Colombia. SUN PBI has witnessed an escalation in threats and violence SUN against defenders of land and environmental rights including SUN indigenous and farming communities. These defenders are of SUN fundamental importance to preserving the environment and SUN their culture and way of life yet are being attacked, SUN displaced and murdered. SUN A recent report SUN found that at least 908 defenders of land and environmental SUN rights were killed between 2002-2013 due to increased SUN competition over scarce natural resources . Given the SUN gravity of this situation PBI has chosen to highlight the SUN need for protection of land and environmental defenders in SUN our Radio 4 appeal.

SUN IN: BBC Radio 4. At ten past eight Sunday Worship comes live SUN from Portsmouth Cathedral and marks the 70th anniversary of SUN D Day. The service is introduced by the Dean the Very Revd SUN David Brindley and begins with verses from Psalm one hundred SUN and twenty one – I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. SUN SUN SUN SUN The choir sings SUN SUN SUN I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills SUN Words: Psalm 121 SUN Music: Barry Rose SUN SUN WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION SUN SUN The Dean of Portsmouth welcomes everyone as follows SUN SUN Welcome to Portsmouth Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Sea. SUN The distinctive tower and cupola of this building was SUN visible to the many tens of thousands of service men and SUN women who gathered in and around Portsmouth in the months SUN leading up to June 1944. At Southwick House just outside SUN the city, plans had been laid for a massive invasion the aim SUN of which was to free Europe from the tyranny of Nazism. From SUN the Cathedral tower an observer would have seen ships and SUN landing craft filling The Solent as allied troops from SUN around the world prepared to cross the channel and to land SUN on the beaches of Normandy. We are now seventy years on SUN from those events - they are part of our history – but on SUN this Day of Pentecost it is still right to gather and SUN remember, to give thanks for those who fought and died, and SUN to commit ourselves afresh as we cooperate with God's SUN creative and redeeming Spirit, to work for peace and SUN justice and an end to tyranny. SUN THE BIDDING PRAYER SUN SUN Dean Let us remember before God all who took part in the SUN Normandy landings; those who gave their lives as SUN comrades in the British Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air SUN Force and from other countries, who we remember with pride. SUN And we pray that, loyal to their example and their SUN sense of duty we may be ever vigilant of freedom, SUN peace and security. SUN SUN We commit ourselves to work SUN in penitence and faith SUN for reconciliation between the nations, SUN that all people may, together, SUN live in freedom, justice and peace. SUN SUN We pray for all SUN who in bereavement, disability and pain SUN continue to suffer the consequences of SUN fighting and terror. SUN SUN We remember with thanksgiving and sorrow SUN those whose lives, SUN in world wars and conflicts past and present, SUN have been given and taken away. SUN SUN SUN The choir continues…… SUN SUN SUN The Lord himself is thy keeper SUN SUN Words: Psalm 121 SUN Music: Barry Rose SUN Dean We pray a prayer that we know was said in the heat of SUN battle; or sometimes in the pain of injury and perhaps even SUN in death, The Lord’s Prayer….. SUN SUN All Our Father, SUN who art in heaven, SUN hallowed be thy name; SUN thy kingdom come; SUN thy will be done; SUN on earth as it is in heaven. SUN Give us this day our daily bread. SUN And forgive us our trespasses, SUN as we forgive those who trespass against us. SUN And lead us not into temptation; SUN but deliver us from evil. SUN For thine is the kingdom, SUN the power and the glory, SUN for ever and ever. Amen. SUN recording…… SUN Dean/Mary Verrier – nurse on 6th June South Parade Pier SUN A reading from the Gospel according to Matthew SUN read by Claire Brown (School Nurse) SUN SUN When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and SUN after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began SUN to speak, and taught them, saying: ‘Blessed are the poor in SUN spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ‘Blessed are SUN those who mourn, for they will be comforted. ‘Blessed are SUN the meek, for they will inherit the earth. ‘Blessed are SUN those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will SUN be filled. ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive SUN mercy. ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see SUN God. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called SUN children of God. ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for SUN righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. SUN ‘Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you SUN and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my SUN account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in SUN heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who SUN were before you. (5.1-12) SUN SUN Dean Some hymns have become traditional for use at times of SUN national remembrance and commemoration. One of these is the SUN majestic setting of Isaac watts words O god our help in ages SUN past sung to the tune St Anne. Following the hymn, the SUN Bishop of Portsmouth, Right Rev Christopher Foster will set SUN the events of D Day in the context of Christian faith. SUN SUN All sing SUN O God, our help in ages past, SUN Words: I Watts (1674-1748) alt. SUN Tune: ST ANNE SUN SUN SUN SUN A D-DAY REMEMBRANCE SUN SUN Homily 1 by Bishop Christopher after letter read by Joan SUN Allen SUN SUN Dean On 1st June 1944, just days before DDay, Arland Scott, SUN a 26 year old soldier with the Royal Canadian Artillery SUN wrote to his young wife and to his young baby daughter whom SUN he had only briefly seen once on leave following her birth SUN in May. Arland was fatally wounded on the Normandy beaches SUN and died on 8th June. SUN This letter has been with Arland’s family these past 70 SUN years, and now his daughter Joan will read his final SUN letter…. SUN A Letter from Portsmouth – June 1 1944 SUN My Darling Wife and Baby SUN This is just a short note to say that I am still OK here. I SUN haven’t had a letter from you for some time now. But I know SUN that mail has been held up this last week. I won’t get any SUN for a while now. I only wish I had got the pictures of my SUN daughter. But I guess they will follow. SUN The weather here is fine, it is not so hot now as it was a SUN few days ago but it is plenty warm enough yet. SUN Darling if you saw me now you would hardly know me. I have SUN all my hair cut off. It sure feels funny with nothing to SUN comb. SUN I sure miss you a lot my darling lover I miss my baby to. SUN I know you will look after her just the way I want you to so SUN I don’t worry about that. I just miss being with you and SUN loving you like we always used to while we lived here. But SUN just wait darling this old war can’t last forever. We will SUN make up for all this when we get to find our home. SUN I haven’t had mail from home for a long time now I guess it SUN is my fault for not writing often enough. SUN Well darling I must get along. I have a lot of things to do SUN this afternoon. Always remember I love you more than SUN anything in this world. My thoughts and prayers are with SUN you always. My only one darling sweetheart wife and lover. SUN Give my daughter a kiss from her loving daddy and all my SUN love and kisses to you darling. God bless you both for me. SUN Always your devoted loyal and loving husband. SUN SUN +Christopher SUN That moving letter touches us all. Tender love and the SUN anxiety of prolonged silence deepened, more than most of us SUN know, by the uncertainties and hardships of war, at home and SUN away. And the emotional cost of the war lives on. It lives SUN in the still-vivid memories of those who've experienced war SUN first hand, witnesses to horrors no human being should SUN endure. It lived in those waiting at home, helpless to SUN protect those they love, unsure whether their babe in arms SUN will ever meet its father. But, invisibly, it lives also in SUN those of us who are too young to remember the war, or who SUN were perhaps not even born. I was struck recently by some SUN reflections from a trauma centre in South Africa that works SUN with survivors of torture and their families. There, staff SUN have realised just how deeply the children of people who’ve SUN experienced terrible suffering, sense and even live out the SUN disturbing emotions of their parents – feelings of anger, SUN and helplessness and fear; feelings of over-protectiveness, SUN and longing. Without any first hand knowledge of what SUN happened, such is their immersion in the emotional landscape SUN of their parents, that they share in its cost. Just so for SUN us, as those who experienced first hand the events of SUN the1940s at first hand gradually become fewer, the memory SUN lives on. We, the children and the grandchildren, know the SUN love and the cost in our bones. And so, from our hearts and SUN with all our being, we remember those events; we honour SUN those people. And we offer our love, our prayers, our music, SUN our gifts, our lives, as we seek to build on the peace for SUN which our parents and grandparents gave so deeply. Blessed SUN are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. And SUN Blessed are the peacemakers. SUN SUN The choir sings SUN Do not stand at my grave and weep, SUN Words: M E Frye SUN Music: Goodall SUN (Soloist: William Pepperell) SUN SUN SUN SUN Dean On January 6, 1941 President Roosevelt, even in the SUN midst of Word War, set out his vision of Four Freedoms – a SUN possible way to ensure peace and freedom in the world after SUN conflicts had ended. In a moment Bishop Christopher will SUN reflect on these but first we hear the text read by one of SUN our Head Choristers Oliver Nash, whose father is Commanding SUN Officer of HMS Defender, currently on deployment with the SUN Royal Navy. SUN SUN Reading: The Four Freedoms Roosevelt SUN read by Oliver Nash (son of RN CO HMS Defender) SUN SUN In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look SUN forward to a world founded upon four essential human SUN freedoms. SUN The first is freedom of speech and expressioneverywhere in SUN the world. SUN The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his SUN own wayeverywhere in the world. SUN The third is freedom from wantwhich, translated into world SUN terms, means economic understandings which will secure to SUN every nation a healthy peacetime life for its SUN inhabitantseverywhere in the world. SUN The fourth is freedom from fearwhich, translated into world SUN terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a SUN point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be SUN in a position to commit an act of physical aggression SUN against any neighbouranywhere in the world. SUN That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite SUN basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and SUN generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the SUN so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to SUN create with the crash of a bomb. SUN SUN Homily 2 +Christopher SUN A week ago, Europe elected its parliament. It wasn't long SUN after D Day that the grand European project began, and now SUN just shy of 70 years later low election turnouts and SUN increasing euro-scepticism suggest that some people may be SUN beginning to lose faith. In tough economic times, the SUN bureaucracy, the legal complexities and the challenges of SUN the Euro no doubt contribute to the understandable malaise. SUN But there’s something else too. As slick modern buildings SUN rise up in place of the scars of war rubble, and as national SUN concerns preoccupy us all, a sort of forgetting is beginning SUN to happen. Of course, where there has been such suffering, SUN forgetting is healthy and good. It’s a sign that hurts are SUN beginning to heal, that painful memories are beginning to SUN ease, that nations once again feel confident and at peace. SUN But, whatever our views about the EU and current political SUN realities, some things must never be forgotten. With the SUN words “never again” on their lips the pursuit of those SUN freedoms which Roosevelt summarised became a cause to live SUN for. Freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom from SUN want and from fear calls us into a courageous fight for what SUN is attainable for all. Our battleground is ethical, SUN religious and political - and infinitely preferable to the SUN alternative, and if we think the alternative could never SUN happen again, we kid ourselves. Whatever our political SUN persuasion, however we engage, the words “never again” must SUN remain on all our lips, as loud and defiant as 70 years ago. SUN 'Go forth' begins the Blessing I and others have used this SUN week as we have remembered. 'Go forth into the world in SUN peace, be of good courage.' It's an important and urgent SUN impetus for us. Never again will we settle our disputes SUN through violent means; never again will we subject one SUN another to such suffering, if we show the courage today we SUN honour in those who gave on D Day. SUN SUN SUN All sing Eternal Father, strong to save, SUN SUN WILLIAM WHITING (1825-1878) SUN Tune: MELITA SUN SUN Dean Prayer was important to many of those who took part in SUN the D Day landings. Dwight D Eisenhower the commander of SUN the allied forces, wrote the following prayers for use SUN before the expedition. The prayers will be followed by the SUN choir singing Pie Jesu from the Requiem by Andrew SUN Lloyd-Webber, and then an act of remembrance will call to SUN mind those who died in the D Day and Normandy campaigns. SUN THE PRAYERS SUN Based upon the prayer for D Day of Dwight D. Eisenhower SUN (Read by Kitty Price) SUN SUN Almighty God, we give thanks for all those, from SUN many nations, who set forth upon a mighty endeavour, to SUN preserve our Nations, our religion, and our civilisation and SUN to set suffering humanity free. We thank you for your SUN blessings, for the road was hard and the enemy was strong. SUN We remember those individuals who were drawn from the ways SUN of peace who fought not for the lust of conquest but to end SUN conquest and gain liberty, justice, tolerance and good will SUN among all God’s people. And finally, we give you thanks SUN that, by your grace, they did not give up until victory was SUN won. SUN All Amen. SUN SUN SUN We pray for those sailors and marines, soldiers and SUN airmen who did not return, and who were received by you into SUN your everlasting kingdom. We pray for any at this time who SUN have died in action on foreign shores and for those who made SUN the ultimate sacrifice. Be with all who mourn the loss of SUN loved ones, surround them with your protection, strength and SUN love. SUN All Amen. SUN SUN Give your help and courage Lord, to all who lead nations and SUN those who shoulder responsibility in the Armed Forces. SUN Strengthen us in our daily tasks that we may redouble our SUN efforts to fight for the causes of justice, freedom, SUN tolerance and good will. Be with any today who stand into SUN danger or are found in harms way, and give your courage and SUN purpose to any who are frightened. SUN SUN All Amen.

SUN SUN Ever since the 6th century rule of St Benedict said that SUN monastic orders should be self- sufficient, monks and nuns SUN have taken to the land and to the kitchens to produce food SUN and drink for sale. Tim introduces us to some specific SUN examples of how that tradition is thriving today. Giorgio SUN Locatelli and food historian Mary Taylor Simeti explain how SUN an array of recipes for sublime biscuits and pastries made SUN by Sicilian nuns have survived for centuries, due in no SUN small way to a woman called Maria Grammatico who went to SUN live in a convent where Nuns would live out their final SUN days. She would collect their recipes and she went on to SUN become one of the most famous makers of Sicilian pastries. SUN Giorgio Locatelli lovingly recreates some of those sumptuous SUN treats in his Locanda restaurant today. We visit the New SUN Skete Nuns in New York who have featured in the New York SUN Times and Vanity Fair with their famous cheesecakes. Tim SUN talks to food historian Annie Gray who reminds him of the SUN overall impact of the monastic orders on food production but SUN who also cautions us not to get too carried away with the SUN idea of continuity. We hear from the writer, Madeline SUN Scherb, who went on her own pilgrimage around the world to SUN cook and pray with some monks and nuns; recalling the SUN chanting of the Hail Mary on a caramel production line. She SUN explains how St Benedict himself was not able to persuade SUN his own monks to abstain completely from alcohol, and so the SUN tradition of producing liquors of all sorts is one of the SUN longest surviving strands of monastic production. In the UK, SUN that includes the famous Ampleforth abbey ciders and beers. SUN And there's Buckfast tonic wine from Devon; a drink that has SUN attracted controversy in some areas. Join Tim Hayward as he SUN raises a glass to a tradition of monastic food production SUN that appears to be alive and kicking. SUN SUN Producer: Sarah Langan.

SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b045c65t (Listen) SUN Somerset SUN SUN Peter Gibbs hosts the horticultural panel programme from SUN Chard, Somerset. Bob Flowerdew, Anne Swithinbank and SUN Christine Walkden answer the audience questions. SUN SUN Produced by Victoria Shepherd SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras SUN A Somethin' Else Production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q: Does the panel have any tips for garden designs that will SUN keep colour in the garden all year round? SUN SUN A. If you visit a garden centre every month, you will see SUN what is flowering throughout the year. This will help you SUN plan twelve months of colour. In terms of creating structure SUN and colour throughout the winter months, try planting SUN Vibernum bodnantense or the Vibernum farreri. These will SUN flower from late autumn up until the Christmas period. SUN Hamamelis (Witch Hazel) will flower in January and SUN Edgeworthia (Japanese Paper Bush) will flower in February. SUN The Cherry tree, Prunus inciser kojo-no-mai flowers in SUN March. SUN SUN Q. What is the best way to use Comfrey juice? SUN SUN A. Water it down (one cup per watering can) and use it to SUN feed tomato plants and any other plants that do well with SUN potash. Other plants may start to yellow due to the high SUN concentration of potash and so balance with a rotted-down SUN Borage juice as this is high in other minerals such as SUN magnesium. For a general-purpose feed, mix the rotted down SUN juice of Borage, Comfrey and Stinging Nettle. SUN SUN Q. What is the best way to grow Sweet Peas in pots? SUN SUN A. Use a large pot filled with good compost. Keep quite dry SUN until the plants form buds and then water very frequently. SUN Keep dead heading to encourage a longer period of flowering. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel recommend a hardy grape vine that SUN produces seedless grapes for eating rather than wine making? SUN The garden has a slightly acidic soil and is 200 meters SUN above sea level. SUN SUN A. Flame grapevines do well in green house conditions or SUN planted against a wall that gets a lot of sun. SUN SUN Q. What is the green powdery substance covering my plants SUN and is it necessary to get rid of it? SUN SUN A. It is probably an alga and is harmless. It's actually an SUN indication of good growing conditions so enjoy it! SUN SUN Q. What advice would the panel recommend for preventing SUN garden volunteers snipping away at shared gardens? SUN SUN A. Give your volunteers rooted cuttings to take away. SUN Confiscate the secateurs! SUN SUN Q. Last winter uprooted many of the Conifers in our woodland SUN garden. What is the 'greenest' way to deal with the fallen SUN trees? SUN SUN A. Leave the trees lying there; this would be excellent for SUN wildlife. If you do want to clear the trees, chip what you SUN can and use this as mulch or leave it in a pile for three SUN years to make slightly acidic compost. You could also burn SUN the wood and return the ash to the soil. SUN SUN Q. How are the Moth Orchids I grow in my window boxes SUN propagated? SUN SUN A. They are propagated in test tubes using micro-propagation SUN techniques to create hybrids. But at home, if you feed the SUN Orchids and get the water balance right, the flower spikes SUN will start forming little plants called keikis which you can SUN detach and grow. If you want to bulk up the growth, you SUN could plant in some Oncidiums or Cymbidiums. SUN SUN Q. How can we replenish out stocks of Charm Chrysanthemums? SUN SUN A. Get in touch with the National Plant Collector and see if SUN they can help. You could also try contacting Wisley Garden SUN as they once had a very good collection. SUN SUN Q. What can we plant for colour in mid to late summer to SUN compliment blue Hydrangeas? SUN SUN A. Aleniums and Inulas would work well, as would Dahlias SUN such as the Bishop of Llandaff. You could try Hesperantha or SUN a Gladioli. Astranthias (particularly the Abby Road variety) SUN are pretty and would work well with Hydrangeas. Put some SUN ferns in to fill in the gaps. Crinums are a great pink SUN colour, and Nerines would also work well. SUN SUN Q. What garden trends do the panel predict? SUN SUN A. We might go back to mixed borders and inter-planting. SUN Topiary is also making a comeback. There is an increased SUN interest in coloured foliage, such as Heucherellas, SUN Brunneras, the Tiarellas and the Epimediums.

Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

MON MON MON "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> MON MON Workplace stress MON MON Nearly half a million people in the UK believe that they MON have work-related stress at a level that is making them MON ill. Undue pressures and demands at work because of MON workload, deadlines, the environment you work in or your MON colleagues can lead to critical levels of stress. And yet MON work-related stress is the elephant in the room in many MON workplaces. The charity MON Mind MON believes that stressed workers are suffering in silence and MON employers aren’t doing enough to tackle stress. A third of MON workers polled by the charity said that they would not be MON able to talk openly to their line manager if they felt MON stressed. MON MON From casual conversations, to psychological support, knowing MON how to deal with the everyday strains of your job is MON important. Jenni speaks to Sarah Mitchell who suffered MON repeated panic attacks at work and to occupational therapist MON Dr Almuth McDowell about why so many of us are suffering in MON silence. MON MON Mental Health - Supporting a Partner MON Supporting a partner who has mental health issues can be a MON real challenge.

MON What’s it like living day to day with someone who MON is depressed - trying to juggle work, life and kids while MON remaining positive? They’ll tell Jenni Murray about the MON strain it can put on a relationship, what’s helped them MON cope and how you can come out the other side. MON MON When someone needs help MON MON If you’re concerned about the state of mind of someone close MON to you, what are the signs that could identify someone MON experiencing clinical depression rather than a low mood, or MON unhappiness? What should you do to support them, and what MON are your options if someone won’t acknowledge they need MON help?

The journalist Grace MON Dent sets out to discover what makes her name - and the MON notion - so captivating, by exploring the modern state of MON grace. MON MON Grace's Nan once told her she was related to real-life MON Victorian heroine, Grace Darling. It was the first time MON Grace sensed her name had enviable properties, after years MON of wanting to be called Joanne. MON MON The word 'grace' is associated with more than twenty MON different meanings and phrases. Many are theological, but MON one early definition - of pleasing quality - suggests Grace MON has some work to do if she wants to achieve the standards MON inherent in her name. She's not entirely sure she does. MON MON From Greek mythology to Grace Jones, via philosophical MON reasoning and a morning at The Royal Ballet, Grace reflects MON on the modern merits of charm, poise and elegance as she MON searches for inner calm and acceptance in a more secular MON age. MON MON With contributions from Olivia 'damegrace' Cowley, a soloist MON with The Royal Ballet; names expert, Carole Hough; Grace MON Kelly fan and film studies academic, Stella Bruzzi; MON philosophy professor Miranda Fricker; and Grace Maxwell, MON whose memoir Falling and Laughing documents the recovery of MON her husband Edwyn from a near-fatal brain haemorrhage.

It's an MON important anniversary that takes us on a Podyssey back MON through the mists of cricketing time to that very first MON Celtic guy who picked up a stone, put it there or MON thereabouts, and gave it CXCIX per cent. MON MON Pod is being helped by Andy to research his ancestry as he's MON on the long-list for the next series of 'Who Do You Think MON You Are?' - although he faces stiff competition from the MON likes of the announcer-bloke who says "Previously on MON Homeland" and Sykes the dog from Midsomer Murders. MON MON There's certainly a lot of Pod's family history stuffed away MON in his garage, but it's mainly unpaid fines dating back to MON the birth of parking meters in 1958. MON MON Even so, it's a start. And, as each shameful episode in the MON Podmore's past is unearthed, it becomes clear that his MON dynasty has been exploiting the game for longer than a MON Geoffrey Boycott anecdote.

MON MON Before his death in 1971, giant of world theatre and pioneer MON of the open stage, Sir Tyrone Guthrie, bequeathed his MON ancestral home at Annaghmakerrig, County Monaghan, to the MON Irish State as a residential workplace and retreat for MON artists. MON MON Today 'The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig' MON continues to function as a vital cog within the creative MON landscape of writers, composers, painters and dancers from MON Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic and beyond. It's a MON flagship example of cross-border co-operation, dependent on MON joint funding from Arts Councils on both sides of the Irish MON border and could be seen as a barometer of the nation's MON cultural health overall. MON MON Crucially, Guthrie stated in his will that a condition of MON any residency at Annaghmakerrig would be that guests sit MON together for dinner each evening in the dining room of this MON historic house set among the rolling hills of the Irish MON countryside.

But once Hammond invented their TUE electronic version in the thirties, the organ found a place TUE in the home. TUE TUE Electronic organs became enormously popular; as affordable TUE as pianos, featured on TV game TUE shows, and often bought by people with no musical TUE experience. By the 1970s there were dozens of TUE manufacturers, organ societies in most UK towns, and TUE thousands of models hidden away in average homes. The TUE technology advanced to provide easy-to-play features and a TUE whole palette of tones. Fashion designer Wayne Hemingway is TUE fascinated by this secret world of exotic sounds swirling TUE around British living rooms of the 60s, 70s and 80s. TUE TUE The easy-play electronic keyboard or organ has often been TUE ridiculed (memorably by Not the Nine O'Clock News). Comedian TUE Graham Fellows, aka John Shuttleworth, explains why he finds TUE it so funny. TUE TUE The scene largely died in the 1980s, leaving countless TUE organs behind - now nearly free on TUE Ebay. But a few organ societies still exist and we meet TUE Brett Wales, a young superstar of the scene whose instrument TUE sounds like a full orchestra. And then there's 79 year old TUE Tom Baker who finds near-daily solace in his Technics 5000. TUE TUE They are easy to dismiss as kitsch, naff and only for ironic TUE enjoyment, but the home organ was, for many, home TUE entertainment which brought people together in a way TV and TUE ipads don't.

TUE TUE The Mediterranean war was the last time an Admiral commanded TUE an entire theatre of war from the bridge of a ship.

TUE TUE Teenager Carl and his grandfather Eric dream of one day TUE breeding a winning greyhound and in Angelfish they believe TUE they might have a star. At the track, Angelfish surpasses TUE all expectations and wins her first race. But Carl's TUE euphoria is cut short when he comes face-to-face with his TUE father Mick, who left without a trace years previously. TUE Although Carl can barely remember him, Mick is desperate to TUE be given a second-chance. But Eric has heard it all before; TUE his son has an ominous track record of letting everyone down TUE and he can't bear to see it happen to Carl again. Has Mick TUE really changed his ways or is this return just part of TUE another ruse? TUE TUE Directed by Sasha Yevtushenko TUE TUE In the UK there are two types of greyhound racing; TUE registered racing, which is regulated by the Greyhound Board TUE of Great Britain; and 'flapping', which exists TUE independently. Although it's not illegal, flapping requires TUE no licensing and there's no code of practice. For some, it's TUE just about the sport and the dogs. For others, it's all TUE about the gambling - and with that come shady characters, TUE dangerous criminality and foul play. Our drama is a TUE compelling story about fathers and sons which opens up this TUE little-known world to the listener.

Howard Webb, a miner's son WED from Rotherham, is one of the world's most respected WED referees, and already has taken charge of some of the most WED prestigious international matches around the world. But WED Howard Webb is far more than just a ref, and usually a WED reserved man, he's been giving Peter a rare insight into his WED other faces. WED A policeman by profession, he still patrols the streets of WED his native South Yorkshire, but his involvement in his WED community goes far deeper. For some years now He has WED mentored troubled children in the area, using football and WED his reputation in the game as a way of giving them a sense WED of direction, and an understanding of how discipline can be WED used to get results. WED He's set up clubs across the schools in Sheffield, Barnsley WED and Rotherham. Over seven hundred children are WED involved--girls as well as boys--and as Howard sorts out the WED footballing Prima Donnas in Brazil, these youngsters will WED compete in their own championships back in Yorkshire. Howard WED is particularly proud to be bringing together youngsters WED from Eastern Europe and Pakistan in a bid to ease tensions WED between the two groups. Youngsters who've been heading for WED trouble talk about the satisfaction they've been getting out WED of the game; one or two have even been catching the eye of WED local clubs as potential signings. Howard talks with warmth WED and enthusiasm about the satisfaction he gets from doing WED this work, whilst preparing and acclimatising for what could WED be the highlight of his already illustrious WED career--refereeing the world cup final. WED WED 11:30 When the Dog Dies b0460hzd (Listen) WED Series 4, One Dog and His Man WED WED The final series of Ronnie Corbett's popular sitcom, written WED by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent.

WED WED To help his finances, Sandy, still in the family home, took WED in a young couple as lodgers. But then the man left, leaving WED the attractive Dolores behind. Sandy's children are quite WED sure Dolores is a gold-digger. Meanwhile, Sandy's opinion WED that it would be inhuman to move Henry somewhere unfamiliar WED is wearing a bit thin - as is the old dog himself. But WED keeping the dog alive and the lodger happy are one thing, WED what really concerns Sandy deeply is providing a guiding WED hand to his whole family - advising here, prompting there, WED responding to any emergency callout.

WED WED One new and controversial idea holds that cognitive decline WED is in fact a myth.

Simply put, their larger stores of WED accumulated knowledge slow their performance. Their brains WED take longer to retrieve the answers from their richer memory WED stores. WED WED Geoff also talks to the neuroscientists and participants WED involved in an unique study of cognition and ageing at the WED University of Edinburgh.

WED WED However, Lucy (Lizzie Bates) and Amelia (Anna Emerson) are WED both having the time of their lives - Lucy because she's WED enjoying an incredible run of success with men, and Amelia WED because she just loves to dance.

WED WED Each episode sees the doctor dealing with a different client WED who has come to him for a different problem (quitting WED smoking, fear of water, etc).

In his THU spare time he composed 24 symphonies. THU THU Rainer Hersch is a British-born German comedian and musician THU who is equally at home closing the show at the famous Comedy THU Store or conducting the Philharmonia at the Festival Hall. THU In his spare time he is a keen amateur astronomer with a THU telescope in his back garden - like Herschel. For 25 years, THU he has been an active member of his local astronomy society. THU THU Now Hersch wants to know more about his namesake and why he THU is not better known. It's a good time to do it - in April THU 2013, the mission of the Herschel Space Observatory, named THU after William Herschel, came to an end. It was the biggest THU Infra-Red satellite ever launched and had been observing the THU Universe in the IR band - but it finally ran out of coolant. THU THU Rainer's journey begins in the garden of the Bath house THU where, in 1781 William Herschel became the first human to THU discover a new planet, Uranus, or Georgium Sidus (George's THU Star) as Herschel insisted on naming it to gain patronage THU from George III. He finds out how Herschel constructed the THU most powerful telescopes then in existence and how this led THU him also to predict the shape of the Milky Way. Herschel THU also discovered Infra-Red radiation. And, despite his THU erroneous predictions about life on the moon and the sun, he THU went from being an obscure German immigrant military THU musician and amateur astronomer to one of the most THU celebrated British scientists of the day.
