If you’re like me and get a bit confused about pruning… Tom Pattinson has a brief guide on why, how and when to trim your shrubs and bushes … 

Steve Lowe from the Rivers Trust is on ‘top of the world’ on a fifteenth century Pele Tower that’s being restored…

And if you’d like the lowdown on eider ducks… Tom Cadwallender’s here to tell us all about one of our most distinctive sounding birds and the connection to Saint Cuthbert and the Farne Islands.
