But once Hammond invented their SAT electronic version in the thirties, the organ found a place SAT in the home. SAT SAT Electronic organs became enormously popular; as affordable SAT as pianos, featured on TV game SAT shows, and often bought by people with no musical SAT experience. By the 1970s there were dozens of SAT manufacturers, organ societies in most UK towns, and SAT thousands of models hidden away in average homes. The SAT technology advanced to provide easy-to-play features and a SAT whole palette of tones. Fashion designer Wayne Hemingway is SAT fascinated by this secret world of exotic sounds swirling SAT around British living rooms of the 60s, 70s and 80s. SAT SAT The easy-play electronic keyboard or organ has often been SAT ridiculed (memorably by Not the Nine O'Clock News). Comedian SAT Graham Fellows, aka John Shuttleworth, explains why he finds SAT it so funny. SAT SAT The scene largely died in the 1980s, leaving countless SAT organs behind - now nearly free on SAT Ebay. But a few organ societies still exist and we meet SAT Brett Wales, a young superstar of the scene whose instrument SAT sounds like a full orchestra. And then there's 79 year old SAT Tom Baker who finds near-daily solace in his Technics 5000. SAT SAT They are easy to dismiss as kitsch, naff and only for ironic SAT enjoyment, but the home organ was, for many, home SAT entertainment which brought people together in a way TV and SAT ipads don't. SAT SAT The programme also includes James Taylor of the James Taylor SAT Quartet and Nigel Ogden, presenter of Radio 2's The Organist SAT Entertains.

SAT SAT Also why advice manuals written by men for men have become SAT increasingly popular ranging from how to be a good parent to SAT a better husband, so what kind of advice do men need?

She also interviews Angela Atim, one of the SAT speakers at the conference, who was kidnapped as a SAT 14-year-old schoolgirl by Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) SAT rebels in Uganda. SAT SAT Belle - Mixed Raced Women in the 18th Century SAT Belle SAT which opens on Friday, is a film about an illegitimate SAT mixed-race woman who is brought up in an aristocratic family SAT in 18th Century Britain. It is based on the true story of a SAT childless aristocrat’s decision to adopt his great-niece, SAT Elizabeth Dido Lindsay, whose mother was a slave. Joining SAT Jane to discuss are Gugu Mbatha Raw, who plays the title SAT role, and historian James Walvin. SAT SAT Manuals for Men SAT SAT A new breed of book is becoming increasingly popular: advice SAT manuals written by men for men. Their aim: to instruct the SAT male of the species on how to be a good parent, how to be SAT the best husband, what to do when your wife gives birth. So SAT what kind of advice do men need? How do men like to receive SAT information? How necessary is it to dress up helpful hints SAT and facts with humour or is it better to disguise them SAT altogether as though they are a car or army training SAT manual? Journalist SAT Tim Dowling SAT DaddyNatal teacher Dean Beaumont and J. Haynes Chair of SAT Haynes Manuals discuss. SAT SAT Tim Dowling, SAT How to be a Husband SAT was published on SAT SAT 5th June 2014 by Fourth Estate. SAT SAT Workplace stress SAT SAT Nearly half a million people in the UK believe that they SAT have work-related stress at a level that is making them SAT ill. Undue pressures and demands at work because of SAT workload, deadlines, the environment you work in or your SAT colleagues can lead to critical levels of stress. And yet SAT work-related stress is the elephant in the room in many SAT workplaces. The charity SAT Mind SAT believes that stressed workers are suffering in silence and SAT employers aren’t doing enough to tackle stress. A third of SAT workers polled by the charity said that they would not be SAT able to talk openly to their line manager if they felt SAT stressed. SAT SAT From casual conversations, to psychological support, knowing SAT how to deal with the everyday strains of your job is SAT important. Jenni speaks to Sarah Mitchell who suffered SAT repeated panic attacks at work and to occupational therapist SAT Dr Almuth McDowell about why so many of us are suffering in SAT silence. SAT SAT World Cup Fever SAT SAT The World Cup is upon us – so for many long suffering SAT partners of football fans that probably means weeks of SAT eating dinner sat on the sofa, alongside your other half who SAT has his eyes glued to the match. It’s not just men who go SAT mad for the tournament though – there’s a number of women SAT who love the World Cup and follow football fanatically SAT throughout the year. One of them is SAT Liz Heade SAT whose book SAT Bobby Moore to Thierry Henry: A Girl’s Own Story SAT charts her life through various World Cups – including her SAT break-up with her husband after, in her words, “he got tired SAT of watching me watching football”. Liz joins Jenni alongside SAT Jo Tongue, the Editor of 606 the football phone-in on SAT BBC Radio 5 Live SAT to discuss what it’s like to be female and football obsessed SAT in 2014.

She was a Dutch woman who volunteered to SUN become an anchoress, bricking herself up in a cell SUN underneath a church in Utrecht for 57 years.

SUN SUN He goes to the Courtauld Gallery to talk with Consultant SUN Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst David Morgan in front of SUN Van Gogh's Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear. They discuss the SUN difficulty that very creative people sometimes seem to have SUN in feeling comfortable in the world in which they find SUN themselves. And they consider the need in many people to SUN retreat, either as a way of re-fuelling or as a means of SUN escape. SUN SUN Tanya Marlow describes her experience of disconnection from SUN life as a result of having ME.

They started with a smallholding and SUN now they have over two thousand cows. For this week's On SUN Your Farm, Sybil Ruscoe visits them at Cwrt Malle Farm - to SUN discover how a dairy operation on this scale operates. SUN SUN The cows are housed year-round and never graze on grass, and SUN the farm is currently producing around 68,000 litres of milk SUN per day. This type of larger-scale or "mega" dairy farming SUN is deeply controversial in this country - critics raise SUN concerns over animal welfare, the environment, smell, visual SUN impact and more - and planning battles have raged. For SUN Howell, who was inspired to farm in this way after a trip to SUN the USA, and other proponents of systems like this it is SUN efficient and uses new technologies and best practices from SUN around the world to deliver clean conditions and welfare SUN benefits.

SUN Radio 4 Opening Announcement: SUN BBC Radio 4. It’s ten past eight – time to go live to SUN Worcester College, Oxford, for today’s Sunday Worship. It’s SUN led by Dr Susan Gillingham and it begins with Malcolm SUN Archer’s arrangement of the Office hymn for Trinity Sunday: SUN ‘O Trinity, most bless-ed Light, O Unity of sovereign SUN might.’ SUN SUN Music: O Trinity Most Blessed Light (Malcolm Archer) SUN Dr. Susan Gillingham: SUN Good morning and welcome to the Chapel of Worcester College, SUN Oxford on this Trinity Sunday, as we come together to SUN worship God – the three in one, through word, music and SUN prayer. This year the college celebrates its three-hundredth SUN anniversary – and in this Chapel there have been three SUN centuries of worship, where people have knelt and prayer has SUN been valid to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit - Creator, SUN Redeemer and Sanctifier. Our Chaplain, the Revd Dr. SUN Jonathan Arnold will be reflecting upon the harmony of the SUN Trinity. So let’s sing praises to God the heavenly creator SUN in our next hymn: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty’. SUN SUN Music: Holy, holy, holy (Nicaea) SUN SUN Susan: SUN As we gather to offer our praises to the holy and undivided SUN Trinity, SUN and to worship him in spirit and in truth, SUN let us call to mind our sins. SUN SUN Father, you come to meet us when we return to you. SUN Lord have mercy. SUN Lord, have mercy. SUN SUN Jesus, you died on the cross for our sins. SUN Christ, have mercy. SUN Christ, have mercy. SUN SUN Spirit, you give us life and peace. SUN Lord, have mercy. SUN Lord, have mercy. SUN May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins SUN And bring us to everlasting life SUN Through Jesus Christ our Lord. SUN Amen. SUN SUN Reader: SUN The first reading is taken from the prophecy of Isaiah, SUN chapter forty: SUN SUN Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand SUN and marked off the heavens with a span, SUN enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure, SUN and weighed the mountains in scales SUN and the hills in a balance? SUN 13 Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, SUN or as his counsellor has instructed him? SUN 14 Whom did he consult for his enlightenment, SUN and who taught him the path of justice? SUN Who taught him knowledge, SUN and showed him the way of understanding? SUN 15 Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket, SUN and are accounted as dust on the scales; SUN see, he takes up the isles like fine dust. SUN 16 Lebanon would not provide fuel enough, SUN nor are its animals enough for a burnt-offering. SUN 17 All the nations are as nothing before him; SUN they are accounted by him as less than nothing and SUN emptiness. SUN This is the Word of the Lord SUN All: Thanks be to God SUN SUN Music: Responsorial Psalm 8 SUN Jonathan Arnold: SUN May I speak in the name of God, Creator, Redeemer and SUN Sanctifier. Amen. SUN Many years ago, there was a man who decided to write a book SUN on the doctrine of Trinity. Whilst musing on his great SUN subject, he took a walk on the seashore. On the beach he SUN found a boy who had made a little hole in the sand and, with SUN a small spoon, was scooping water from the sea into the SUN small pit. When the scholar asked the boy what he was doing, SUN he answered that he was trying to ladle the whole sea into SUN the little hole in the sand. ‘What?’ said the writer, ‘It is SUN impossible that such a sea, so great and large should be SUN ladled into that little pit with such a small spoon’. SUN ‘Yes’, said the boy, ‘but it is more likely that I shall SUN draw all the water of the sea into this little crater than SUN that you shall bring the mystery of the Trinity into your SUN small understanding; for the mystery of the Trinity is SUN greater and larger in comparison to your intelligence and SUN brain than is the great sea to this little pit.’ The person SUN musing on the Trinity was Saint Augustine. SUN As the story shows, comprehension of the Trinity with our SUN minds is an impossible task, for it requires naming the SUN unnameable. For, as Augustine himself wrote, all the creeds SUN are only ‘an alternative to silence’. But he also wrote that SUN ‘God is music’. Therefore, this morning, I would like to SUN explore this mystery through the idea of music, which can SUN often help us approach the numinous and the ineffable, and SUN can inspire our hearts, that we may come to know the truth SUN of God’s reality as Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier, SUN through faith and experience. So let’s consider our God the SUN Creator. SUN In the reading from the Prophecy of Isaiah that we heard SUN read this morning, God’s sovereignty over creation is a SUN powerful theme, especially in relation to human power, SUN wisdom or knowledge – no one is counsellor to God, or SUN instructs God, or enlightens God with regard to justice. In SUN comparison, the nations, even great nations, are like a drop SUN of water in a whole bucket full of water, or a speck of dust SUN in a mountain of earth. Human beings are challenged, in this SUN passage, to see themselves in relation to the infinite SUN universe and the infinitely powerful God. And in Psalm 8, SUN which we sang, humanity’s relation to the divine is examined SUN once again. This time, the human voice is heard, expressing SUN a sense of wonder at the universe. SUN From the creation narrative onwards, the story of the Old SUN Testament is one of relationship, of God’s relationship to SUN his people and to creation. This relationship is often SUN expressed in music, which is frequently at the heart of that SUN story, whether it be through songs of victory over enemies, SUN or despair at exile, or joy at reconciliation – and it is SUN not just people who respond in music, but the whole of SUN creation, in songs of praise to God the Creator each day. SUN Around the walls of this Chapel are painted some words from SUN the Apocrypha, known as the ‘Benedicite’, which speak of SUN creation’s response to the divine, calling all the works of SUN the Lord, the sun and the moon, light and darkness, green SUN things and animals of every kind to bless the Lord and SUN magnify him forever. For our three-hundredth anniversary SUN celebrations, we have commissioned a new setting of this SUN text by the composer, and former student of this college, SUN Deborah Pritchard. She has a synaesthetic approach to SUN composition, which brings together the senses, especially, SUN in this work, the sense of sight with the sound. SUN Deborah’s piece only demonstrates the luminous colours of SUN the narrative through the bright sound of the trumpet and SUN choir, but is also a reflection on her own faith. An excerpt SUN from this new commission will be sung for us now by the SUN Chapel Choir with trumpeter Simon Desbruslais. SUN SUN Music: Benedicite (Deborah Pritchard - short version) SUN SUN Jonathan: SUN One unifying musical feature of the New Testament is SUN ‘redemption’, such as we see in the remarkable Gospel of St. SUN Luke. Even in the first two chapters, people burst into song SUN four times, from Mary in the Magnificat (My Soul Doth SUN Magnify the Lord), Zechariah’s Benedictus (Blessed be the SUN Lord the God of Israel), Simeon’s Nunc Dimittis (Lord now SUN lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, and the Angels SUN singing Glory to God in Luke chapter 2. SUN All of these songs represent a fulfilment of God’s SUN redemptive promise in Christ, and we might forget, as we SUN sing or listen to one of the many, many settings of these SUN words, how radical they are in their theology, especially SUN Mary’s song, including phrases such as ‘He hath put down the SUN mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and SUN meek’. Mary’s words are not just innocent praise. This is SUN singing as radical social commentary on what ‘is’ and what SUN ‘ought to be’. Indeed, a great deal of the music-making SUN surrounding the theme of liberation from oppression in the SUN Bible, is sung by women. SUN When there are still so many stories in the news today of SUN women’s oppression throughout the world, such songs are more SUN relevant than ever. SUN Another very significant musical moment in Luke, that is a SUN revelation of God’s redemptive work but might easily go SUN unnoticed, is found in the parable of the prodigal son. The SUN profligate and ungrateful son has gone his own way and left SUN his father’s house, ending up destitute. Realizing the error SUN of his ways, he decides to return home and beg forgiveness. SUN We’ll hear now how the parable ends: SUN SUN Reader: SUN ‘Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and SUN approached the house, he heard music and dancing.26He called SUN one of the slaves and asked what was going on.27He replied, SUN “Your brother has come, and your father has killed the SUN fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and SUN sound.”28Then he became angry and refused to go in. His SUN father came out and began to plead with him.29But he SUN answered his father, “Listen! For all these years I have SUN been working like a slave for you, and I have never SUN disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a SUN young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.30But SUN when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your SUN property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for SUN him!”31Then the father said to him, “Son, you are always SUN with me, and all that is mine is yours.32But we had to SUN celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was SUN dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.” SUN SUN Jonathan: SUN You might have noticed, in that passage, that when the elder SUN son approached the house, ‘he heard music and dancing.’ SUN At first sight there is nothing particularly revealing about SUN this. At a party, one might expect there to be music and SUN dancing. However, it is the language used that is so SUN significant. The Greek word used for ‘music’ in this passage SUN is ‘Symphonias’, which literally means ‘together sounding’ SUN or ‘in-tune’. The harmony of the music reflects the harmony SUN of the reunion between father and son, or between heaven and SUN earth, or Christ and his Church. SUN One theologian who realized this connection was the SUN South-German mystic and composer, Hildegard of Bingen, who SUN in her eightieth year of life (in 1178) wrote a letter to SUN the prelates of Mainz, complaining against the wrongful SUN banning of music in her abbey. Hildegard explains in her SUN letter that music is essential to her community, but also to SUN the wider world. To lose the music meant that they were SUN unable to fulfil their goal of living out ‘the harmony of SUN body and soul through their continual singing of praises to SUN God’. She wrote ‘The Soul is Symphonic’. Thus, her SUN community, and the wider church, is a place where they SUN practised in ‘symphony’ or ‘harmony’, and they lived in such SUN a way that each individual joined to form a single SUN consonance reflecting the music and dance of heaven. It is SUN this sympathetic and responsive way of being that seeks to SUN emulate and even join in with the harmony of the Triune God. SUN SUN Music: Laus Trinitati, Praise to the Trinity (Hildegard of SUN Bingen) SUN SUN Jonathan: SUN Laus Trinitati, ‘Praise to the Trinity’, by Hildegard of SUN Bingen. SUN Because we are flawed human beings, the art of being SUN ‘in-tune’ with one another needs a lot of practice and the SUN help of the third person of the Trinity – the Holy Spirit, SUN the Sanctifier, which operates through the whole of SUN creation, beyond the limits of our denominational boundaries SUN and across religious faiths. The Spirit is often known as SUN the comforter, giving consolation or perhaps courage, but it SUN is also the Spirit of truth and understanding, which, in our SUN divided world, is our desperate need. SUN The great Argentinean-Israeli conductor and pianist, Daniel SUN Barenboim and the Palestinian-American scholar, Edward Said, SUN founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in 1999, now based SUN in Seville, which takes musicians from the Middle East, SUN Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. SUN The aim of the Orchestra, of course, is to make music, but SUN also to promote understanding between Israelis and SUN Palestinians. But Barenboim says: ‘The Divan is not a love SUN story, and it is not a peace story … The Divan was conceived SUN as a project against ignorance. A project against the fact SUN that it is absolutely essential for people to get to know SUN the other, to understand what the other thinks and feels, SUN without necessarily agreeing with it. I’m not trying to SUN convert the Arab members of the Divan to the Israeli point SUN of view, and [I'm] not trying to convince the Israelis to SUN the Arab point of view. But I want to … create a platform SUN where the two sides can disagree and not resort to knives.’ SUN I love this unsentimental tale of learning and understanding SUN through co-operation, because, as Barenboim and Said knew, SUN it is not easy to produce such harmony out of diversity. To SUN live in the Spirit of harmony means to surrender to the SUN music in a way that involves participation, sensitivity and SUN awareness of others. In order for us to comprehend the SUN Spirit of God across the self-imposed divisions of our SUN societies, we could do worse that to return to our God as SUN Creator and Redeemer. For, in each moment of precious time SUN we can only learn, or know, teach or explore because of the SUN infinite variety and possibilities with God’s redeemed SUN creation. In our exploration of the finite and the material, SUN whether it be music, or art, or nature, we are led by God’s SUN wisdom to touch upon the transcendent and infinite, leading SUN us back to encounter that divine spark within us responding SUN to God’s call and know him afresh, as if for the first time. SUN We’re going to listen now to the harmony, melody and rhythm SUN of music. As we do, perhaps consider that it is God’s gift SUN to you and his invitation to join him in the symphony and SUN the dance of the Holy Trinity. The dance doesn’t require you SUN to comprehend God, only to offer your heart to him through SUN faith and to sing his praises, just as the choir now sing to SUN the music of Thomas Tallis ‘With all our hearts and mouths, SUN we confess, praise and bless thee.’ SUN SUN Music: With all our hearts (Thomas Tallis) SUN SUN Susan: SUN So, trusting in the mystery of the divine, let us affirm our SUN faith in the undivided Trinity: SUN Do you believe and trust in God the Father, SUN source of all being and life, SUN the one for whom we exist? SUN We believe and trust in him. SUN Do you believe and trust in God the Son, SUN who took our human nature, SUN died for us and rose again? SUN We believe and trust in him. SUN Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit, SUN who gives life to the people of God SUN and makes Christ known in the world? SUN We believe and trust in him. SUN This is the faith of the Church. SUN This is our faith. SUN We believe and trust in one God, SUN Father, Son and Holy Spirit. SUN Amen.

SUN For thine is the kingdom, SUN the power and the glory, SUN for ever and ever. Amen. SUN SUN Music: I bind unto myself (St Patrick’s Breastplate) SUN SUN Jonathan: SUN I hope you have enjoyed exploring the nature of the Trinity SUN through music with me this morning. As we journey on, let’s SUN remember that, at our best as human beings, we begin to join SUN in the symphony and the dance of the divine Trinity of God. SUN The Spirit invites us and draws us into the Godhead by his SUN love and grace given freely to us, and it is in this music SUN and dance, that we begin to glimpse the divine. That’s why SUN composers and performers, who strive for greater perfection SUN of their art, can help to bring us closer to the perfect SUN reality of the ultimate harmony: the three in one. It’s my SUN hope that each one of us can respond to the invitation of SUN the Spirit to join the Godhead in faith and love, which will SUN guide us into all truth and peace.

That story, told on The Food SUN Programme, has gone on to win an award from the UK's Guild SUN of Food Writers. SUN SUN It's a story that involves an intricate "food tattoo", one SUN of America's biggest private seed collections, a hog roast SUN and "pick picking" and bowls of delicious peas, beans, rice, SUN grits and fried chicken. SUN SUN Soon after British settlers arrived in South Carolina in the SUN 17th century a cuisine called the "Carolina rice kitchen" SUN was formed. Using the expertise of West African slaves to SUN develop rice plantations, a larder evolved consisting of the SUN main crop along with beans, African vegetables and staples SUN like oats, rye and wheat from Britain. SUN SUN Chef Sean Brock believes it was one of the earliest, and SUN "most beautiful" food cultures in America. In his SUN mid-thirties and sporting an arm covered in tattoos of SUN heirloom vegetables, he's attempting to "reboot" that SUN cuisine and those ingredients which had all disappeared by SUN the 20th century. SUN SUN He's joined forces with historian David Shields and a seed SUN hunter, Glenn Roberts, to source, grow and cook with these SUN historic foods. SUN SUN Richard joins Sean Brock at his restaurant, Husk to hear why SUN "ridiculous flavour" is the driving force behind the SUN mission. SUN SUN Producer: Dan Saladino.

SUN SUN 13:30 Tales from the Stave b043wz2c (Listen) SUN Series 10, West Side Story SUN SUN Frances Fyfield is joined by Conductor Marin Alsop, writer SUN Nigel Simeone and Librarian Mark Horowitz to explore the SUN boxes full of scores and sketches from Leonard Bernstein's SUN 1957 Broadway smash - West Side Story. They're the proud SUN property of the Library of Congress in Washington DC where SUN the musical was first tried in an 'out-of-town' run before SUN hitting Broadway. SUN It was something of a tortured collaboration between writer SUN Arthur Laurents, choreographer and director Jerome Robbins SUN and Bernstein himself along with a young Stephen Sondheim. SUN The manuscripts tell the story of Bernstein's ambitions for SUN an operatic score thwarted according to the composer or SUN channelled and controlled according to history. Time and SUN again numbers are cut back, honed, re-worked and refined SUN until we reach the familiar show hits 'Somewhere', SUN 'America', 'Tonight' and 'Somethings coming' which are so SUN familiar today. SUN Librarian Horowitz also reveals the examples of music SUN Bernstein culled from earlier works and other bits that were SUN composed for the show but ended up in his later Chichester SUN Psalms. SUN The writing is always neat but increasingly hectic as the SUN rehearsals start in the summer of 1957. SUN The programme is intercut with extracts from Bernstein's SUN letters to his wife in which he divulged his frustration at SUN what was happening to 'my poor little score'. In the event SUN he rejoiced with his team when the reviews were beyond their SUN wildest dreams. SUN And there are gems beyond the musical scores. Bernstein's SUN audition books reveal that Warren Beatty was amongst those SUN who tried out for a part. 'Charming as hell' according to SUN the composer but ultimately not quite right. SUN SUN Producer: Tom Alban. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b0460zmv (Listen) SUN Beechgrove, Scotland SUN SUN Eric Robson visits the garden at Beechgrove for this week's SUN episode of the horticultural panel programme. Chris SUN Beardshaw and Matthew Wilson are joined by Beechgrove's SUN Carole Baxter and Jim McColl to answer audience questions. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and answers from this week's programme: SUN SUN Q. I made the basic mistake of planting these Antirrhinum SUN seedlings without my glasses. I now have a thicket. Can I SUN use some of the seedlings or should they all go to the SUN compost heap? SUN SUN A. There are hundreds of seedlings here but you are lucky SUN that they are in a reasonable state. They are healthy and SUN there are no signs of fungal complaints. The issue is trying SUN to extract them. It will be easier to tease individual SUN leaves out if you leave them to soak in a large washing up SUN bowl of lukewarm water. You should usually sow them in late SUN February or early March to guarantee flowers. SUN SUN Q. I am planning a small wildlife pond. Should it be in full SUN sun or partial shade? How deep should it be at its deepest? SUN What sort of planting would you recommend next to cottage SUN style borders? SUN SUN A. Full sun is always good. The coverage of plants is very SUN important and you should only leave one third as open water. SUN Coverage provides somewhere for animals to hide away and SUN shelter from the sun. A minimum in the deepest part should SUN be a metre (3ft). Try using Water Forget-me-not, Water Mint, SUN and Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris). All of these plants SUN are quite invasive so perhaps contain them in baskets. Use SUN clay topped up with gravel. Make sure that one side is a SUN natural beach to allow animals to get in and out. If you SUN extend the liner slightly beyond the pond you can create a SUN bog like area. SUN SUN Q. I hope to establish an orchard 12m(39ft) by 8m(26ft). I SUN have already planted an eating apple called James Greave, a SUN cooking apple called Howgate Wonder and the crab apple John SUN Downie. These are accompanied by a Victoria Plum and a SUN Damson Merryweather. Could the panel suggest other varieties SUN or fruit trees that will cope with harsh winters and an SUN exposed site? SUN SUN A. With apples you can control the size by choosing a root SUN stock wisely. Try adding more shelter, like a native SUN hedgerow to filter the wind. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b046j45w (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces conversations about divorce, surviving SUN road traffic accidents and comas, and multi-tasking as a SUN gifted child, from Scotland, Leeds and London.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. 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.

Cercas is one of SUN Spain's foremost chroniclers of the country's painful SUN transition to democracy, rising to fame in the SUN English-speaking world with Soldiers of Salamis which won SUN the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2004. He continued SUN his exploration of modern Spanish history with The Anatomy SUN of a Moment, a non-fiction novel investigating the failed SUN coup of 1981. His latest novel The Outlaws focuses on the SUN wave of juvenile crime that swept Spain post Franco's SUN dictatorship in the late 70s and how the response to it SUN continues to play out in the present. SUN SUN Virginia Woolf is one of the 20th century foremost SUN modernist, still credited as a major influence on SUN contemporary writers. More recently she has also started to SUN intrude as a flesh and blood character in literary works SUN themselves, most famously in Michael Cunningham's 1998 novel SUN The Hours. Writers Maggie Gee and Alison MacLeod discuss how SUN they have incorporated the Woolf legend into their own SUN narratives; Maggie Gee's new novel Virginia Woolf in SUN Manhattan finds Virginia alive and kicking and eating SUN hamburgers in the 21st century, whilst Alison MacLeod's last SUN year's Booker longlisted novel Unexploded featured Woolf SUN lecturing in 1940s Brighton.

There are now at least half a million Polish people MON living in the UK, and Polish is now the second most spoken MON language. After the initial "flood" of migrants, many MON returned home richer. But some others, like Magda Bond, one MON of the presenters of this programme, have chosen to make MON permanent lives here and never want to go home. MON MON But now Magda has to decide whether to take British MON citizenship. It's not just a question of sentimentality - if MON Britain were to leave the EU, then the legal position of MON Poles living in Britain would be unclear: in theory, they MON would have no automatic right to stay. But beyond that, the MON question of whether or not to take citizenship forces Poles MON to think about who they are and what they are really doing MON here. MON MON Unlike previous waves of post-war migrants, most Poles MON arrived with no definite intention of staying. Poland is MON close enough that it was easy to go back if things didn't MON work out. But for many, life intervened: they found British MON partners, had British children, and slowly acquired British MON accents and became addicted to British soaps. MON MON But ten years on, how well integrated are the Poles into MON British life? Do they feel they belong yet, and do they feel MON welcome? As Magda prepares to take the official "Life in the MON UK" test, she and Jolyon talk to Polish people here: a MON Polish businesswoman who feels her compatriots are still not MON stepping up to the plate in terms of community engagement; a MON Polish psychiatrist who reveals what his Polish clients tell MON him; the Polish UKIP candidate. She discovers that Poles do MON not love the NHS: many believe that British GPs prescribe MON paracetemol for everything, even when antibiotics are called MON for. She learns that many Poles feel "stigmatised" by MON British politicians, and under-appreciated. And she MON discovers that Poles are world-class grumblers, possibly MON rivalling even the British.

And if the person MON with pencil in hand happens to be famous, should that colour MON our view? These are the questions Simon Armitage - himself a MON lapsed margin scribbler - wrestles with as he sets off to MON tell the story of marginalia. He begins with his own books, MON tracing his past through the comments he made as a much MON younger man first embarking on the world of poetry. He sees MON examples from some who've become regarded as masters of the MON art, such as William Blake and Samuel Coleridge, and hears MON how an Elizabethan torturer and a 20th century dictator had MON a great fondness for marginalia in common. He also heads to MON an antiquarian book fair, where he stumbles across an early MON volume of Dylan Thomas poetry, containing the poet's own MON drunken scrawl which has put the volume's price up to a MON handsome £8,000. Chiefly though this is a personal MON meditation for Armitage, bringing him into contact with a MON younger version of himself and reminding him of the profound MON power of physical books and the markings placed in them MON across decades and sometimes centuries.

MON MON This programme explores the reasons for this generational MON shift and its implications.

THU THU 11:30 Travelling the Spaceways: The Cult of Sun Ra THU b046nvxs (Listen) THU Jez Nelson explores the life of Sun Ra - the renowned jazz THU composer, bandleader and pianist born 100 years ago. THU Sun Ra was the first black avant-garde musician, paving the THU way for Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Archie Shepp. He THU set up his own record label before independent labels THU existed, and was one of the first to use synthesizers in his THU music. He also commanded a unique and, some would say, THU unhealthy dedication from his band. They lived in his house THU and eschewed sex, drugs and even sleep in the pursuit of a THU higher cause - music. THU THU Two decades after his death, Sun Ra continues to inspire a THU dedicated following. His original band, the Arkestra, THU regularly sell-out European concert halls, there are THU numerous tribute bands around the World and even an annual THU Italian music festival exclusively devoted to him. So why THU does he continue to hold this cult status? Revisiting an THU intriguing interview he gave shortly before he died, and THU with new interviews with band members and Sun Ra obsessives, THU Jez Nelson asks whether, a century on from his birth, we are THU any better placed to understand Sun Ra's message. THU THU Contributors include Gilles Peterson, Marshall Allen, John THU Sinclair and Jerry Dammers. THU THU Producer: Joby Waldman THU A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.

Winifred Robinson looks at FRI what the Government plans to do in response, including FRI measures by Home Secretary Theresa May, to deter EU FRI nationals from heading to this country and to deport them if FRI they are claiming benefits and don't have a realistic FRI prospect of finding a job. FRI FRI It was just over a year ago when Theresa May announced that FRI the UK Border Agency was being abolished, with its work FRI returning to the Home Office. At the time she said her aim FRI was to end the closed, secretive and defensive culture which FRI she saw as being partly to blame for the huge backlog of FRI immigration cases. New proposals go further still and FRI Winifred Robinson assesses what they might mean in practise FRI and how they might impact on the lives of some of those FRI involved. FRI FRI The recordings will take us into the world of immigration FRI control at a very timely moment: this is a key political FRI issue and one which is creating debate and discussion around FRI the country. Already the announcement has generated concerns FRI about whether the changes go far enough: a concern FRI heightened by a leaked memo from the new Home Office FRI permanent secretary declaring that: "most of us will be FRI doing the same job in the same place with the same FRI colleagues for the same boss." FRI FRI David Cameron's promise to cut net migration to "tens of FRI thousands" by the next election took a blow recently as FRI figures showed it stood at 212,000 in 2013, a rise of 35,000 FRI over the previous year. The quarterly figure of 212,000 was FRI more than double the 100,000 target the Conservatives set FRI for net migration by next year's general election. As FRI critics complain that the changes lack substance, Winifred FRI Robinson assesses what is happening and hears from the FRI different levels within the organisation as reforms are FRI carried through. FRI FRI 11:30 Polyoaks b046p07d (Listen) FRI Series 3, That Heart Sinky Feeling FRI FRI Dr Phil Hammond and David Spicer's satire on some of the FRI major issues thrown up by NHS reform. Among the many targets FRI in their sights are the Care Quality Commission, patient FRI records, privatisation, whistleblowing, time wasters and FRI patient participation groups. FRI FRI Will the NHS be safe in the hands of Pfizer? Why do doctors FRI often look sicker than their patients? Would an NHS FRI executive go private? How are doctors revalidated? What does FRI that actually mean? And is that piece of dry skin on your FRI heel anything to do with the amount you've been drinking FRI lately? These and other questions may well be answered at FRI Polyoaks - the flagship of enlightened West Country General FRI Practice at the forefront of a constantly reforming NHS. FRI FRI Nigel Planer stars as Dr Roy Thornton and Simon Greenall as FRI his brother Dr Hugh Thornton in a clinic always at odds with FRI itself over diagnoses, funding, clinical commissioning FRI groups, Jeremy Hunt and the ever more dubious commercial FRI activities of their associate TV's Dr. Jeremy (David FRI Westhead), who is still juggling Dictionary Corner, a series FRI of Malpractice suits and forgotten alimony payments.

In 1957, sitting in his lodgings in Accra, FRI he urgently sets out to write his story recounting his FRI strange and tumultuous marriage to the elusive great beauty FRI of Sligo, Mai Kirwan, and the inevitable fate that he now FRI feels compelled to reconcile himself with. He feels he FRI cannot take one step further, or even hardly a breath, FRI without looking back at all that has befallen him. He is an FRI ordinary man, both petty and heroic, but he has seen FRI extraordinary things. FRI FRI The Temporary Gentleman is, ultimately, a story about a FRI man's last bid for freedom, from the savage realities of the FRI past and from himself.

FRI FRI The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a FRI snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the FRI UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to FRI them about a subject they've never discussed intimately FRI before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK FRI by teams of producers from local and national radio stations FRI who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're FRI not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - FRI lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key FRI moment of connection between the participants. Most of the FRI unedited conversations are being archived by the British FRI Library and used to build up a collection of voices FRI capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade FRI of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or FRI just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting FRI bbc.co.uk/listeningproject FRI FRI Producer: Marya Burgess. FRI
