It was overgrown and neglected for decades, but the Stroudwater canal is now home to otters! Check out these beauties...
Searching for the missing mile (and getting up close with the weeping willow!) @Marthakearney explores the Stroudwater canal. @CotswoldCanals @gloswildlife bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002sr4…

Here's the link to Radio 4's Open Country episode on Postman's Paths including my 15 mins of fame. I start by pointing out to @BBCOpenCountry the 'best view in the world'. - the view from the Postman's Path into Swindale. So here's a picture of it... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001y8…

At #NFU24 @Minette_Batters says that 50% of subsidies should be focused on food production and she looks forward to hear what the PM will say on this.
The PM just told us in an exclusive interview that food is a public good… but 50% may be a bit more than what he has in mind. – at Birmingham, England

In his #OFC24 speech @SteveBarclay says he is announcing the biggest upgrade to farm subsidies since 2016, including 10% increase in payments.
But many farmers still feel there are still more questions than answers with just 3 years left until final phasing out of direct payments
