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

Melting glacier in Swiss Alps leads to horrifying finds beneath snow and ice
Europe’s ongoing heatwave has revealed heartbreaking finds under Swiss mountain snow including two bodies and an aeroplane. The persistent heat, which has smashed records, has led to extreme ice loss in the Alps, revealing buried secrets underneath.

Game of Thrones: What’s going on with Melisandre? (Spoilers)
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES Game of Thrones took a turn for the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on Monday night. Melisandre, the seductive, witchy Red Woman showed her true, naked self to viewers and it was a lot prunier than usual. As she was preparing for bed, the Red Woman disrobed in front of a mirror, which is nothing we haven't seen before. But as soon as she removed her necklace, with its glowing red amulet, she suddenly transformed into a bare-skinned little old lady. Fans on Twitter reacted how you might expect. The "N for Nudity" warning at the beginning of just about every episode is usually a good indicator that a pair of perky breasts are about to appear on screen. Instead viewers got a body that's given in to gravity. The nerve!

In praise of the older women on Game of Thrones
TRAILER/FAIRFAX MEDIA The houses of Lannister, Stark, Targaryen and Tyrell return for another season, airing late April. If you want to avoid any spoilers from season one to season six, then don't read on. OPINION: "As far as the creepy old naked ladies of television and feature films, I don't know where I'd rank Melisandre," a reader wrote in to me on Monday, after Game of Thrones ended the first episode of its sixth season with the revelation that the titular Red Woman was, in fact, far more ancient than her youthful appearance implied. The idea that we were meant to be unnerved by the sight of Melisandre regarding her pendulous breasts and protuberant stomach in a mirror was a common one: I saw a lot of tweets that were variations on the idea that nothing could possibly be scarier to Game of Thrones viewers than a naked old lady. Game of Thrones and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire have shown in crones, in who women become when their husbands and … [Read more...] about In praise of the older women on Game of Thrones
