As a way of introduction, we took on a derelict 40ha farm 22 years ago with the naivety of youth and have been investing here ever since. I’ve always been involved in pedigree stock as a way of adding value to a small acreage. We have 100 Texel ewes, 16 Charollais ewes, 10 Beltex ewes and the children have 30 Blue Texel ewes. These had a teaser, lambed 10 days earlier and lambed very quickly, with lambs growing well.

Man’s best friend. Woman’s best friend. Everyone’s best friend. These may sound like bitter retorts from a cat-lover, but from working within media relations, one thing is clear – dogs are very much within the UK content-creation spectrum, and it seems like they’re here to stay. It’s everywhere to see – Wes Anderson’s latest stop-motion epic ‘Isle of Dogs’ has been leading the pack at the post-Oscars’ box office, and held an exhibition in London with hour-long queues snaking down the street.

Histopathology of tissue samples is used to determine the progression of cancer usually by staining and visual analysis. It is recognised that disease progression from healthy tissue to cancerous is accompanied by spectral signature changes in the mid-infrared range. In this work, FTIR spectroscopic imaging in transmission mode using a focal plane array (96 × 96 pixels) has been applied to the characterisation of Barrett's oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
