SAT SAT 00:30 Month of Madness b03th83q (Listen) SAT London SAT SAT Professor Christopher Clark unpicks the complex sequence of SAT events during the July Crisis, leading to outbreak of the SAT First World War, from the perspective of the key centres of SAT decision-making. SAT SAT As events unfolded in July 1914, all eyes were on the SAT British and how they would react. In the final programme of SAT his series, Professor Christopher Clark analyses British SAT decision-making during the July Crisis. SAT SAT At the centre of the events in London was the Foreign SAT Secretary Sir Edward Grey. Of all the politicians who walked SAT the European political stage in 1914, he was the most SAT baffling. Professor Clark shows how the last-minute British SAT decision to enter the war on the side of France and Russia, SAT and to declare war on Germany, was a decision of SAT world-historical import that transformed a local conflict SAT into a global struggle. SAT SAT Christopher Clark is Professor of Modern History at the SAT University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine's SAT College. He is the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Iron Kingdom SAT and - most recently - of the highly acclaimed and SAT award-winning The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went To War in SAT 1914.

We speak to SAT self-confessed 'Mamils' - Middle-Aged Men In Lycra - about SAT their love for cycling, and visit Mallorca to meet the SAT riders who follow the pedals of their heroes, most notably SAT Sir Bradley Wiggins who has a regular base on the island and SAT trains here to prepare for his epic races.

Many SAT companies start small, focusing their energies on a single SAT item, with plans to expand into other areas once the SAT business takes off. But not everyone wants to diversify.

In this edition of The Bottom Line, Evan Davis talks SAT to three companies that have stuck with the core product SAT that made them a success in the first place. They'll discuss SAT the benefits of keeping focused, the challenges of staying SAT ahead of the game and explore the perils of relying on just SAT one source of income.

Nobody knows, but there SAT have been many theories, from the plausible to the offensive SAT to the downright wacky. Autism remains a mysterious enigma SAT and thus a receptacle of whatever we want to project onto SAT it. Author and broadcaster Michael Blastland, whose son is SAT autistic, delves into a rich archive and finds that looking SAT at autism is like looking into a mirror. In it we see our SAT own fears, beliefs, hopes and cultural prejudices. SAT SAT Autism was formally identified in 1943, by child SAT psychiatrist Leo Kanner. It existed long before that, of SAT course, but autistic children were instead seen as "wild SAT children", or mentally disabled, or bewitched. In some parts SAT of the world they still are. SAT SAT Michael Blastland takes us on a journey through the history SAT of the theories about autism, which is in effect a history SAT of social or scientific trends. With the post-war rise of SAT psychoanalysis, for example, autism was blamed on mothers, SAT so-called "refrigerator mothers". (Audio from the film SAT Refrigerator Mothers is featured courtesy of Kartemquin SAT Films, it was produced by David E. Simpson and J.J. Hanley.) SAT When we worried about science messing with nature and our SAT bodies (remember the BSE scandal?) we blamed vaccines. Then SAT it was genes. And now, with economic need, autism and its SAT more high-functioning form Asperger's Syndrome are almost SAT fashionable. Silicon Valley has been called the largest SAT sheltered workplace scheme in history. SAT SAT Whenever there has been a twist in our attitude to autism, SAT it has come out of a new scientific or social trend. The SAT latest of which may be that as we are becoming a more SAT diverse society, autism is just another kind of different. SAT SAT Producer: Arlene Gregorius.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b047bzlv (Listen) SAT Anonymity and sex offences SAT SAT Transparency is a cornerstone of the justice system, but are SAT the scales of justice becoming dangerously unbalanced when SAT it comes to sex crimes? 21 year old Ben Sullivan, the former SAT president of the Oxford Union, is the latest man to say that SAT his life has been ruined after allegations that he raped a SAT fellow student and sexually assaulted another. He was SAT arrested in May and held in a cell for 12 hours before being SAT released on bail. It was 6 weeks before he was cleared, but SAT in that time his name was published in the press and all SAT over the internet turning his life upside-down. Under SAT current legislation people who complain they've been the SAT victims of sexual offences automatically receive anonymity SAT but suspects do not. Is that fair? Being accused of SAT committing a sex crime carries a unique stigma. In the wake SAT of the fever of publicity about celebrities being SAT investigated in operation Yewtree, are we in danger of SAT treating the accused as guilty until proven innocent? It SAT hasn't always been the case. From 1976 to 1988 both parties SAT in such cases were granted anonymity. But is introducing SAT more secrecy in to our courts the answer? And if we grant SAT anonymity to those accused of rape, why not to those accused SAT of child abuse, or child murder? The law on anonymity was SAT changed because police said it made it difficult to gather SAT evidence if they couldn't name the accused, but there are SAT those who say that it now makes it far too easy make false SAT allegations of rape. Are sex crimes so uniquely pernicious SAT and hard to convict that we should rebalance the system in SAT favour of victims? Could we ever go back to a system where SAT both parties are named? How do you balance the scales of SAT justice when it comes to rape and other sex crimes?

SUN Registered charity No. 1094478 (England and Wales). SUN To Give: SUN - Freephone 0800 404 8144 SUN - Freepost BBC Radio 4 Appeal, mark the back of the envelope SUN ' Excellent Development'. SUN SUN Excellent Development: SUN SUN Every day, SUN women and girls in rural drylands - places of severe water SUN scarcity - spend up SUN to 12 hours just collecting enough water to live. SUN SUN This SUN all-consuming task prevents families from growing food. It SUN withholds girls and SUN young women from school. And it traps people in poverty. SUN Excellent SUN Development SUN is bringing clean water to within 30 minutes of homes, SUN thereby SUN transforming lives. Alleviating the burden of water SUN collection is creating the SUN opportunity for families to grow enough food to eat, store SUN and sell, and for SUN girls to go to school. They do SUN this by supporting people to build sand dams – the SUN greatest, but little known, SUN solution to water scarcity in drylands. SUN SUN Solving water scarcity: SUN SUN Sand dams SUN look just like a river of sand. But, within that sand, are SUN millions of litres SUN of water – protected from evaporation, contamination and SUN disease. These cheap SUN and simple structures provide clean water for life. But, SUN it’s not a hand out: a SUN community contributes 40% of the cost through their labour SUN in providing locally SUN available materials and supporting construction. SUN SUN This is a SUN sand dam in southeast Kenya. Nearby communities are making SUN the most of the SUN opportunity to grow enough food for their families to eat, SUN store and sell. SUN SUN Transforming lives: SUN SUN Excellent SUN Development has supported 480,000 people to have clean SUN water close to their SUN homes. People like Pauline, who was able to go to school SUN because, with SUN Excellent Development’s support, her father mobilised his SUN community to build a SUN sand dam. SUN SUN Pauline SUN said: “My family was very poor and so I was not seeing any SUN hope, though I was SUN working hard… You changed my life.” SUN SUN Now, she is studying at SUN Nairobi University and wants to follow in the footsteps of SUN Nobel Peace Prize SUN winner, Wangari Maathai. SUN SUN Realising the potential: SUN SUN In rural SUN drylands, sand dams are the opportunity people need to work SUN their own way out SUN of poverty with dignity. It is an opportunity that 3 in 4 SUN of the world’s SUN poorest people still do not have. SUN SUN These are SUN pupils at the Kambili primary school in southeast Kenya. SUN Many of them are girls SUN who, without Excellent Development’s support, would have to SUN spend most of their SUN time collecting water, instead of getting an education. SUN Excellent SUN Development’s vision is that millions of the world’s SUN poorest people’s lives SUN will be transformed through sand dams. We need your help to SUN achieve this.

SUN SUN Diana Kennedy's life reads like an adventure story. Born in SUN Loughton, Essex in 1923, after serving in the land army she SUN set off on a journey that would take her to Canada, Jamaica SUN and Puerto Rico. She stopped off in Haiti, met the New York SUN Times correspondent Paul Kennedy, fell in love and they SUN moved to Mexico. SUN SUN Soon after arriving she became fascinated by Mexican food. A SUN maid looking after the home was also a cook and the regional SUN dishes made Diana Kennedy curious about the ingredients and SUN recipes of other regions of Mexico. SUN SUN After Paul Kennedy died in 1966 Diana found herself living SUN in New York, with no income and an uncertain future. The SUN Food Editor of The New York Times, Craig Claiborne SUN encouraged her to use her knowledge of Mexican food and give SUN cooking lessons. SUN SUN To research recipes and find ingredients she'd travel to SUN remote parts of Mexico, into villages, to markets and into SUN kitchens with domestic cooks to learn more about traditional SUN foods. That research has continued for five decades. SUN SUN It has produced nine books, and a body of work that is now SUN regarded as the most SUN authoritative account of Mexico's cuisines ever created. In SUN the programme Diana Kennedy explains her life in food. SUN SUN In the programme food writer and editor of Swallow magazine, SUN James Casey visits Diana Kennedy in her home in Michoacan to SUN see how she's also created a garden containing varieties of SUN fruit and vegetables from all over Mexico.

Chris Beardshaw, Bob Flowerdew and SUN Bunny Guinness answer the audience questions. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN Q. Within two weeks I must move three large Hellebores. SUN Please could you advise me on the best way to replant my SUN Niger, Orientalis and Pink Ice Hellebores in mid-summer. SUN A. They are not an easy plant to move when they are large SUN and old. It might be best to plant new Hellebores in the SUN autumn. Theoretically you could try digging with some small SUN machinery. SUN If you do try to move them, first drench them in water, SUN prune off as many of the leaves as possible and dig as deep SUN as possible. Plant them into a well-prepared site. SUN Subsequently keep it very well watered. Choose a protected, SUN permeable site with dappled shade. Use shade netting if you SUN are moving it on a sunny day. SUN SUN Q. At what time of day should I water greenhouse tomatoes SUN and cucumbers? How much water a day should I use? SUN A. The more you water, the less flavoursome the tomato. You SUN can judge by eye, only watering when the fruits are looking SUN less plump than usual. Make sure you don't let them wilt. SUN Cucumbers require a daily watering, perhaps twice a day. It SUN is best to be consistent so that you can avoid splitting. SUN SUN Q. I planted some onion sets in the autumn. They are very SUN large but the foliage is still very green. Should I lift SUN them now or wait longer? SUN A. It would be best to wait a little longer. They will SUN continue swelling until late June. There is always a danger SUN of mildew. The bigger the onion the harder it is to keep. Do SUN not bend the necks down, as you will let disease in. SUN SUN Q. My daughter has been promised a herb garden and we have SUN provided her with Oregano, Thyme, Sage and Mint planted in SUN individual 12 inch pots. Could the panel provide her with SUN some tips? SUN A. We often 'over pot' herbs and the plants become lost SUN within the soil and are surrounded by too many nutrients. SUN The plants become soft and they lose flavour. You ideally SUN want to grow them in impoverished conditions. They need a SUN lot of sunlight. In the winter lift the pots from the ground SUN to allow excess water to be released. You might want to make SUN a mini cold frame in the cold months. SUN SUN Q. We have a freestanding Wisteria. Is it possible to take SUN cuttings? SUN A. It would be better to layer it and you could bring a pot SUN up to it. Take a pot of gritty compost, raise it and pin SUN down into it. Take fresh wood in early summer and scratch SUN underneath the tissue, removing the outer layer of bark. You SUN could use a hanging basket, filled with a soil-based SUN compost. Layering is much more reliable than taking SUN cuttings.

SUN SUN Ian McMillan looks through the dust covered pages that still SUN , he says, give off a faint whiff of raincoat. The letters SUN document the friendship between the shop owner and an SUN uneducated man who were brought together by a love of words SUN and writing. Ian says, 'It's an extraordinary tale of SUN friendship, and what is left behind.' SUN SUN He talks to John Gregory who devoted his lunchtimes to going SUN through the derelict shop gathering together the pages SUN before they were put in a skip, and to Tim Knebel, the SUN archivist who has created order out of the scattered pages. SUN SUN Ian also talks to historian Helen Smith about the uniqueness SUN of Sheffield during the early years of the 1900s, when SUN uneducated steelworkers yearned to better themselves by SUN learning about philosophy and poetry. SUN SUN Finally, Ian contributes to the amount of words generated by SUN the two men by composing his own work based n the daily SUN takings recorded in the cash book of the raincoat shop.

SUN SUN He discovers a deep web of intertwined government SUN institutions which have been shaped over decades and SUN centuries by each individual country's culture. It turns out SUN that transplanting a different way of doing things from one SUN country to another is just not that simple - but does that SUN mean politicians should just give up trying to do something SUN different?

Chris Stewart's MON daughter Chloe is in her final year at school and times will MON soon be changing for the author. MON MON In his latest memoir, Chris once again taps into the rich MON seam of story-telling in the Alpujarras Hills, and brings us MON tales that are, by turns, warm, funny and moving. MON MON Chris Stewart had a brief flirtation with fame as the MON drummer in Genesis. But he was, by his own admission, not a MON very good drummer. After college, he embarked on a MON peripatetic career that saw him travelling across Europe in MON a converted ambulance, and playing drums in a circus, before MON becoming a sheep farmer in deepest Sussex. MON MON In the early days of the Rough Guides, he persuaded the MON originator and publisher of the series, Mark Ellingham, to MON let him write the guide to China, and so began his career as MON a writer. MON MON Over 20 years ago, Chris and his wife Ana settled in the MON Alpujarras region of Andalucia, buying their own farm. Their MON experiences in the remote region formed the basis of his MON first memoir in 1999, 'Driving Over Lemons', which became an MON international best-seller.

MON MON The border that separates the north and south of Ireland is MON a place of myth - it's been a symbol of danger and the MON unknown. But few people know what it actually looks like. MON Garrett has explored every inch of it and has found a MON beautiful and strange world of open bogland and unofficial MON border crossings. MON MON Near Derry, he finds a bridge made out of planks. It MON connects a farmer's property, in the south, to his son MON across a stream, in the north. MON MON In South Armagh, he tries to find a border farm he visited MON years ago. Only now the farm is eerily derelict, with 'No MON Sale' sprayed on the walls alongside the image of a MON kalashnikov.

Food Innovator Simon Preston MON and award winning chef David Littlewood gather a colourful MON cast of local characters on board a fishing trawler to share MON stories and songs of the sea in a bid to help them create a MON brand new signature dish for the town. Local trawlerman MON Jimmy Buchan tells of a life spent fishing off Peterhead; MON folk singer and storyteller, Pauline Cordiner, conjures up MON some of the darker side of life for a fishing community MON while local photographer Scott Donald sees the town through MON an alternative lens. The challenge for the chef is how to MON re-tell all their stories and ideas through one delicious MON dish! MON MON Ceramic artist Sarah Coonan creates a dish for Peterhead MON MON Sarah Coonan writes about her Porcelain Soup Bowl ‘The Blue MON Toon’ MON MON MON MON Inspiration for the soup bowl came from memories of the MON fishing village when I visited as a child. The classic MON blue-on-white ceramics reflects the town’s nickname, ‘The MON Blue Toon’ and ties in with my fascination with Japanese MON ceramics. MON MON MON MON My hand drawn decoration was inspired by the famous MON woodprint by Hokusai, ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ which is MON both beautiful and daunting. This reflects the treacherous MON conditions the fishermen had to deal with. Cod and haddock MON count of a large amount of fish caught by the Peterhead MON fishermen so were important elements in the decoration. MON MON MON MON The programme was recorded aboard the ‘Amity’, one of the MON local fishing boats which appeared on the TV series, MON Trawlermen. Here, the fateful story of the Boddam Monkey MON was told which inspired the naming of the Aberdeen pub, The MON Noose and Monkey. Scottish folklore is such an important MON part within small communities, I felt that was an important MON part to include on the soup bowl. MON MON Chef David Littlewood's 'Blue Toon Bree' served up in MON Sarah's dish MON MON Chef David Littlewood drew on themes of the sea, homecoming, MON warmth and sustainability in his fragrant and evocative MON Peterhead inspired fish soup. It was David's idea to invite MON local artist Sarah Coonan to work with us on designing a MON dish to serve his soup in order to capture the 'blue' from MON Peterhead's nickname of the 'Blue Toon'. Opinions vary as to MON why its called the Blue Toon as you'll hear when Simon MON head's for Peterhead on the programme.

But MON Howard Webb is far more than just a ref, and usually a MON reserved man, he's been giving Peter a rare insight into his MON other faces. MON MON A policeman by profession, he still patrols the streets of MON his native South Yorkshire, but his involvement in his MON community goes far deeper. For some years now He has MON mentored troubled children in the area, using football and MON his reputation in the game as a way of giving them a sense MON of direction, and an understanding of how discipline can be MON used to get results. MON MON He's set up clubs across the schools in Sheffield, Barnsley MON and Rotherham. Over seven hundred children are MON involved--girls as well as boys--and as Howard sorts out the MON footballing Prima Donnas in Brazil, these youngsters will MON compete in their own championships back in Yorkshire. Howard MON is particularly proud to be bringing together youngsters MON from Eastern Europe and Pakistan in a bid to ease tensions MON between the two groups.

TUE TUE In the late 60s and early 70s Chris was one of the TUE theoretical physicists who were busy sketching what would TUE become known as the standard model of particle physics. An TUE early believer in the physical reality of the "Quark Model", TUE Chris's work helped confirm that the protons and neutrons at TUE the centre of atoms are themselves made up of 3 quarks. TUE TUE He was also influential in showing that Peter Higgs' theory TUE of mass was not just sufficient, but also necessary. TUE TUE So when later he was made Director General of CERN, he was TUE well placed to know, and to explain to the heads of the TUE member states, that investing in the construction of TUE something called the Large Hadron Collider would be a TUE scientifically fruitful thing to do. Indeed, it has been TUE said that there would be no LHC without Chris' calm TUE international scientific diplomacy.

TUE Once the UK's Young Journalist of the Year and the TUE youngest-ever editor of Punch, David believes his TUE Eton/Cambridge education made him feel obliged to succeed. TUE TUE Both now in their fifties, they discuss the merits and TUE drawbacks of ambition: does it lead to happiness and TUE fulfilment or a never-ending nagging discontent and anxiety?

TUE TUE In his latest memoir, Chris once again taps into the rich TUE seam of story-telling in the Alpujarras Hills, and brings us TUE tales that are, by turns, warm, funny and moving. TUE TUE Chris Stewart had a brief flirtation with fame as the TUE drummer in Genesis. But he was, by his own admission, not a TUE very good drummer. After college, he embarked on a TUE peripatetic career that saw him travelling across Europe in TUE a converted ambulance, and playing drums in a circus, before TUE becoming a sheep farmer in deepest Sussex. TUE TUE In the early days of the Rough Guides, he persuaded the TUE originator and publisher of the series, Mark Ellingham, to TUE let him write the guide to China, and so began his career as TUE a writer. TUE TUE Over 20 years ago, Chris and his wife Ana settled in the TUE Alpujarras region of Andalucia, buying their own farm.

TUE TUE 11:30 O Say Can You See? b047z8x5 (Listen) TUE The author and critic Erica Wagner, a New Yorker by birth, TUE explores America's relationship with its national anthem. TUE TUE The Star-Spangled Banner is embedded in American national TUE identity and yet it only became the official national anthem TUE in 1931. Erica returns to its origins, almost exactly two TUE centuries ago at the Battle of Baltimore in 1814, a decisive TUE moment in the Second War of American Independence, to find TUE out how Francis Scott Key came to write these lyrics about TUE the American flag. She speaks to the acclaimed American poet TUE Mary Jo Salter about the merit of the lyrics, and to the TUE musicologist David Hildebrand about how the music changed TUE over time to become the anthem we know today. TUE TUE Central to the appeal of The Star-Spangled Banner is the TUE reverence - what some term the religiosity - which the TUE United States has for its flag. Through insights from Annin TUE Flagmakers, the oldest surviving flagmaking company founded TUE in 1847, and Marc Leepson, author of biographies of both TUE Francis Scott Key and the American flag, Erica unpicks this TUE unique relationship - something she is always aware of TUE whenever she returns to the United States - and examines the TUE positive and negative responses to the anthem.

THU THU Chris Stewart had a brief flirtation with fame as the THU drummer in Genesis. But he was, by his own admission, not a THU very good drummer.

THU THU In the early days of the Rough Guides, he persuaded the THU originator and publisher of the series, Mark Ellingham, to THU let him write the guide to China, and so began his career as THU a writer. THU THU Over 20 years ago, Chris and his wife Ana settled in the THU Alpujarras region of Andalucia, buying their own farm.

THU THU 13:45 The Town Is the Menu b0480347 (Listen) THU Cambridge THU THU Can town and gown be united through food? That's the THU challenge for food innovator Simon Preston and chef Alex THU Rushmer as they try to create a dish which will appeal to THU both the townsfolk and the 'gownsfolk', members of THU university, in Cambridge - a small city with a huge THU reputation. University chaplain, Malcolm Guite, shares THU inspiring stories of the great and the good including a walk THU with CS Lewis, local historian Caroline Biggs talks of THU Cambridge's surprising past as an inland port, while tour THU guide and ex-road sweeper, Allan Brigham, shares his unique THU perspective on this beautiful city. THU THU Chef Alex Rushmer writes about the process of designing a THU dish for Cambridge THU THU The plate is empty, there is no dish. Where Bury has its THU black pudding and York its ham, Cambridge has no morsel to THU call its own. Despite a fearsome reputation for academic THU brilliance, the awesome beauty of the architecture and the THU rapidly growing commercial success of the city, Cambridge’s THU lack of a signature dish has been a source of confusion and THU consternation to me for some time. THU THU THU THU And it appears I am not alone. As a result I was THU commissioned by BBC Radio 4 to rectify this gross oversight THU and construct a dish with a heritage and a history from the THU outset, one that had links both actual and tenuous to the THU city and might have a chance of becoming a legacy in itself: THU a challenge indeed. But not an impossibility. The national THU staple of fish and chips is barely a century and a half old THU and the ancient Japanese cuisine of sushi was invented at THU around the same time. The hamburger dates to 1904 and the THU mighty tikka masala took just 40 years from invention to THU become the national dish of Great Britain. The lesson is THU that traditions can be established very quickly indeed. All THU I had to do was create one. THU THU THU THU Ingredients and themes formed the bulk of my thought process THU – the first part simpler than the second given that I spend THU most of my waking hours (and some of my sleeping ones too) THU thinking about food. The challenge came when asked to THU encompass notions of the city itself, and what it means to THU those who inhabit it, into the dish. The river, bridges, THU corn, conservatism, eccentricity, acceptance, liberality, THU multi-culturalism, pride, tradition, forward-thinking, town THU and gown (or town versus gown) – these ideas and concepts THU had to inspire the dish as much as the ingredients THU themselves which is where the real challenge lay. THU THU THU THU Many of these ideas seemed to have duality at their core and THU it seemed logical to create a dish of two parts that could THU compliment each other. Working with the idea of tradition THU and openness I hit upon the idea of using a platform that THU most people would already be familiar and comfortable with THU and settled on putting together a soup and a sandwich – two THU items with near infinite variability but comforting enough THU to be immediately accessible. THU THU THU THU From there it was a short step to deciding what to put in THU each of them to give the dish a real sense of place and THU resonance with Cambridge. Here I was led by ingredients and THU a desire to create something that should take time. I wanted THU it to be unhurried, a dish that reached its end point only THU when it was truly ready to represent the leisurely and THU relaxed pace the city seems to move at. From within 10 miles THU of the city I managed to source beef brisket, celery, smoked THU eel, root vegetables, watercress and bread flour all of THU which came together in what I am proud to present as Celery, THU Watercress & Smoked eel Soup & The Cambridge Club Sandwich THU (suggestions for more succinct names are welcome). I THU officially have a legacy. THU THU Alex's recipe for Celery, Watercress & Smoked Eel Soup THU THU Cambridgeshire celery has recently been granted PGI from the THU European Union, it is a truly local and delicious THU ingredient. The watercress is my nod to the presence of the THU river that runs through the city and eels have been caught THU in the fens for over three thousand years. The pickled THU celery adds a pleasing acidity. It is a soup that Cambridge THU should be proud of. THU THU THU THU One bunch of celery, roughly chopped plus one stick reserved THU for pickling THU THU One white onion, peeled and diced THU THU 50g butter THU THU Two litres vegetable stock, fresh or from a stock cube THU THU Sea salt THU THU Two bunches watercress, washed and roughly chopped THU THU 150ml white wine vinegar THU THU 50g caster sugar THU THU 50ml water THU THU 100g smoked eel (optional) THU THU THU THU Begin by pickling the celery. Combine the vinegar, sugar and THU salt and finely dice a single stick of celery. Add this to THU the pickling liquid and leave for at least an hour. Melt the THU butter over a gentle heat in a saucepan large enough to THU accommodate the rest of the ingredients. Add the celery and THU onion, season with a couple of pinches of salt and soften THU for 15 minutes. Stir regularly and do not allow the THU vegetables to colour or caramelise. Add the vegetable stock, THU bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until THU the vegetables are cooked through. Add the watercress, cook THU briefly for another two minutes then transfer to a blender. THU Blend until smooth and then pass through a fine meshed sieve THU to refine the texture. Pour into bowls, garnish with the THU smoked eel and pickled celery and eat immediately whilst THU thinking of Cambridge.

One of THU the toughest climbs on the UK legs of the Tour route, Gia THU explains what makes it such a haven for cyclists and tries THU to convince Helen that the impossible climb is worth it! THU THU At the top, Helen peers into the 20 metre deep limestone THU potholes which dot the countryside - the 'Buttertubs' THU themselves. Historic Environment Officer Robert White helps THU us separate fact from fiction, and tells us about the THU history of lead mining in the area. THU THU But while the mining industry might be consigned to history, THU the mines themselves are not! Our final stop is at Hard THU Level Gill Mine, where we meet local heroes Pete Roe and THU Tony Harrison.
