Hard lump in breast
‘Day I caught a couple of strangers getting frisky in my garden’, writes JENNI MURRAY
Right to Roamers are on the march again, with a group of more than 100 Morris dancers and ramblers dressed as sheep invading the Englefield estate in Berkshire last weekend. The protesters were calling for more of the countryside to be made open to the public and claim only eight per cent of land in England is accessible to all of us. It's true that half of England is owned by less than one per cent of its population — 30 per cent owned by the aristocracy, but around 70 per cent is land either owned or rented by farmers who are not necessarily wealthy or posh. They are people who view the countryside not as a leisure activity but as a working environment. Jenni Murray writes that she once found a couple canoodling in our garden as she discusses Right to Roam campaigners I have some experience of the battle between those who own their land and those who feel it's desperately unfair that they can't trudge all over it. On the one hand, I have great sympathy for those who … [Read more...] about ‘Day I caught a couple of strangers getting frisky in my garden’, writes JENNI MURRAY

The transport legacy of outgoing mayor Boris Johnson
Tom Edwards @BBCTomEdwards on Twitter Published 6 May 2016 comments Comments Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Is it really eight years ago that Boris Johnson first became London's mayor? My time covering transport at BBC London has nearly mirrored his in office - and so as he departs I thought it timely to put down some non-definitive thoughts. Recently I asked Mr Johnson if he enjoyed dealing with the transport - his answer was quick: "Of course, it's the best bit." But it has not been without its ups and downs and controversy. And while there have been flamboyant quotes - remember the "grit-snow lasagne" - what has changed? Big ticket items Over the last eight years, even his most fierce critics would acknowledge there has been huge investment in transport. Crossrail is due to open, the Tube upgrades have continued and the … [Read more...] about The transport legacy of outgoing mayor Boris Johnson
