A Positive Future for Rural Life Now Wrapped up ‘online’

A Positive Future for rural life now wrapped up ‘online’
Countryside enthusiasts will be heartened to read an evocative on-line book that describes the trials and tribulations of a small rural community in Leicestershire over the past eighty years. Called “Exploring a Productive Landscape”, and published by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, this remarkable publication is packed with a priceless collection of amusing and beguiling anecdotes on countryside life in the 1930s complemented by many colour images, fascinating old farming photographs and maps. 

An important feature of this very readable account is that it shows how we can learn huge lessons from the past to protect and enhance this precious resource for the benefit of future local communities, wildlife and the landscape.

English Vineyard - English Oak

English Vineyard - English Oak
Vineyards have always been a common part of the countryside for our European neighbours. When a deciding which crop to plant, grape vines are probably fairly high on a landowners list of possibilities. Though reputed to have crossed our shores with the Romans, vineyards have also been a part of the UK’s rural scene, certainly since the Norman Conquest. Now, with English Wine, particularly Sparkling Wine, gaining an enviable reputation and sales worldwide, more vineyards are springing up in the UK’s countryside every year and that’s not confined to the south coast. With economic pressures on other crops, British farmers are increasingly looking at vines as a realistic new source of income.

Cooking Skills Die Out as Young People become 'Heat and Eat' Generation

5 by 25

Cooking skills could die out in a generation
-    Almost 60% of Britain’s 18 – 25 year olds are leaving home without the ability to cook even a simple Spaghetti Bolognese –
-    National youth & parent groups pledge support for new 5by25 campaign -

18th October 2011 - New research released today, following a debate attended by John Hayes MP, Minister of State for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning and celebrity chef James Martin, shows that the majority of 18-25 year olds (57%) are leaving home without the ability to cook even a simple recipe such as Spaghetti Bolognese.

The national study marks the launch of a new campaign – 5by25 – which calls for young people to be given the support to master at least five simple recipe dishes by the age of 25 (the time by which most have left home).
