The Countryside in Early Spring

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Introduced by Wynford Vaughan Thomas

In Oxfordshire at lambing time, Mollie Harris finds good prospects for the protected Cotswold breed, while Eric Simms watches for the birds that herald the spring with Dr Bruce Campbell at Wootton.
In Northumberland and Sussex, Keith Allan and Donald Johnson see the country crafts of saddlery and flint stone-walling still being practised.
In County Fermanagh, John Bennett takes a last look at the landscapes and legends around Lough Erne before the onset of tourist development, and in the military training areas around Aldershot Martin Muncaster talks to the man who repairs the ravages of mock battle.
