:00:29. > :00:40.Majestic woodlands cresting gently rolling chalk hills.

:00:41. > :00:44.Pretty villages with their well-kept greens.

:00:45. > :00:48.The Chilterns are a magical place and are the setting for some

:00:49. > :00:53.children's stories that are loved around the world.

:00:54. > :00:56.Children and adults alike delight in the writings of Roald Dahl.

:00:57. > :01:00.He was born 100 years ago this month in Wales, but he sought out

:01:01. > :01:03.these Chiltern Hills in the 1950s

:01:04. > :01:06.and he made them his home for the rest of his life.

:01:07. > :01:13.I've got a golden ticket to the countryside he knew

:01:14. > :01:17.and I'll be meeting people whose lives Roald Dahl touched.

:01:18. > :01:23.And as a result, are carrying on his legacy.

:01:24. > :01:28.I'm going to be looking through the Countryfile archives to uncover

:01:29. > :01:35.how the British countryside has drawn to it other creative spirits.

:01:36. > :01:41.From the time Matt took watercolouring quite literally...

:01:42. > :01:44...to the mystery wildlife photographer

:01:45. > :01:55.And when Ellie helped a graffiti artist turn images

:01:56. > :02:06.Plus, Matt has got more news of a very special Countryfile

:02:07. > :02:14.There are just a few weeks to go until this year's Countryfile Ramble

:02:15. > :02:17.We are all getting ready and, later on,

:02:18. > :02:22.I'll be telling you how you can take part.

:02:23. > :02:25.And I'll be recalling some of my own personal memories of the man

:02:26. > :02:28.whose life we're celebrating today, Roald Dahl,

:02:29. > :02:49.when we lived not far from each other, here in the Chiltern Hills.

:02:50. > :02:54.and stretching from the River Thames in the south to Hertfordshire,

:02:55. > :03:02.and the village of Great Missenden lies at their heart.

:03:03. > :03:05.It's an area that was much loved by Roald Dahl,

:03:06. > :03:10.who drew inspiration from its landscape and from its people.

:03:11. > :03:13.Roald Dahl was a dyed-in-the-wool countryman.

:03:14. > :03:19.wander through the valleys, and what he found there was the inspiration

:03:20. > :03:28.for his writing for both adults and children.

:03:29. > :03:32.He lived in Great Missenden, and wander along the high street

:03:33. > :03:36.and you pass places that he visited...

:03:37. > :03:44.Today, a Roald Dahl Museum here draws in tens of thousands

:03:45. > :03:51.is pointing out some rather special locations.

:03:52. > :03:55.He would always take a break between his two writing stints every day and

:03:56. > :03:58.he would walk down this high street, which probably looked very similar.

:03:59. > :04:02.Some of the shops have changed. But he had a wonderful expression.

:04:03. > :04:05.He talked about how he imagined tentacles coming out of his brain,

:04:06. > :04:07.reaching for ideas in the air, and he would have been doing

:04:08. > :04:11.that consciously or unconsciously just walking down the street.

:04:12. > :04:15.So, what are some of the buildings then that ended up in his books?

:04:16. > :04:17.Well, we're just coming to one right here,

:04:18. > :04:19.this lovely timbered building called Crown House.

:04:20. > :04:22.It's a private home but we've got evidence in the archive

:04:23. > :04:24.that this is where he was thinking of when

:04:25. > :04:27.he was talking about the "norphanage" where Sophie lives,

:04:28. > :04:29.the little girl who is the hero of the BFG.

:04:30. > :04:32.So he would have imagined the Big Friendly Giant looking into

:04:33. > :04:34.the top windows. Yeah, possibly stooped in a little bit.

:04:35. > :04:39.But he wasn't the biggest giant in the pack.

:04:40. > :04:45.'A brilliant moonbeam was slanting through a gap in the curtains.

:04:46. > :04:51.'The other children in the dormitory had been asleep for hours.

:04:52. > :04:54.'Sophie closed her eyes and lay quite still.

:04:55. > :05:01.'She tried very hard to doze off. It was no good.'

:05:02. > :05:03.I wonder what Roald would have made of having

:05:04. > :05:05.a museum on this high street dedicated to him.

:05:06. > :05:08.I think he'd be glad that it's not a boring museum and

:05:09. > :05:12.he always wanted his archive to stay in one place and stay in Britain.

:05:13. > :05:14.The fact that we've got that at the heart of the collection,

:05:15. > :05:16.I think he would have really appreciated.

:05:17. > :05:19.He wanted adults to be "sparky," didn't he? Absolutely, he did.

:05:20. > :05:21.And here is a great example of that from

:05:22. > :05:27.So anybody who knows that wonderful book and knows that Danny and

:05:28. > :05:29.his dad lived at a filling station. Yes.

:05:30. > :05:32.These are the petrol pumps he would've seen.

:05:33. > :05:36.'We lived in an old gypsy caravan behind the filling station.

:05:37. > :05:40.'My father owned the filling station and the caravan and a small

:05:41. > :05:45.'field behind, but that was about all he owned in the world.

:05:46. > :05:48.'It was a very small filling station, on a small country road,

:05:49. > :05:51.'surrounded by fields and woody hills.'

:05:52. > :05:55.This is straight out of Danny, Champion Of The World, isn't it?

:05:56. > :05:58.That's right and the book is set squarely in the Chilterns and

:05:59. > :06:01.there are so many other parts of this world that feature in Danny

:06:02. > :06:10.The beechwoods and rolling hills of the Chilterns also

:06:11. > :06:18.Quite a few big, friendly giant strides away

:06:19. > :06:22.I lived on the hills above Great Missenden

:06:23. > :06:27.He and his wife, Felicity, lived in a house just around the corner from

:06:28. > :06:30.here and one night my wife and I were having dinner with them there.

:06:31. > :06:33.We had a very convivial meal and then afterwards,

:06:34. > :06:38.a truly Roald Dahl moment happened because a bowl was produced

:06:39. > :06:45.little mixed chocolate bars that children love so much and so,

:06:46. > :06:48.for a brief time, with its creator looking on,

:06:49. > :06:52.I felt like Charlie in the chocolate factory.

:06:53. > :06:56.After all, Dahl did believe a little nonsense now and then

:06:57. > :07:03.His corner of the Chilterns has become

:07:04. > :07:08.a place of pilgrimage for fans of all ages and, for many,

:07:09. > :07:13.an essential stop is Roald Dahl's grave.

:07:14. > :07:15.This is the Dahl bench in the graveyard

:07:16. > :07:21.And, if you follow in these giant footprints,

:07:22. > :07:34.Here he lies buried, along with some of his treasured possessions.

:07:35. > :07:45.This is a place of celebration, not mourning.

:07:46. > :07:47.I've got some very fond memories of him,

:07:48. > :07:50.like the time when we judged a local talent contest.

:07:51. > :07:52.You should have heard some of his whispered comments.

:07:53. > :07:56.When he wanted to be, Roald could be rather disruptive.

:07:57. > :07:59.And, after his death, I along with a group of other people from

:08:00. > :08:02.television and the stage who knew and respected him,

:08:03. > :08:08.at a special event here at the parish church.

:08:09. > :08:21.It was one of the most moving occasions I can ever remember.

:08:22. > :08:23.For a while now, we swap Dahl's beloved Chiltern Hills

:08:24. > :08:30.Last summer, Matt set off on a voyage from Seahouses

:08:31. > :08:43.with a landscape artist seeking inspiration beneath the waves.

:08:44. > :08:54...traditional fishing communities, clustered around sandy coves.

:08:55. > :09:00.catering for tourists and the fishing industry alike.

:09:01. > :09:08.We're on board the Glad Tidings and heading out to the Farne Islands.

:09:09. > :09:13.a couple of miles off the shore of Northumberland.

:09:14. > :09:22.But however many there are, I'm not going to be stepping foot on

:09:23. > :09:25.a single one of them because I'm going to be exploring the

:09:26. > :09:27.Farne Islands from a very different perspective.

:09:28. > :09:34.That's because I'm joining an artist on his first official dive

:09:35. > :09:39.Chris Rose normally works on dry land,

:09:40. > :09:45.He's a member of the renowned Society Of Wildlife Artists

:09:46. > :09:49.and has exhibited all over the world.

:09:50. > :09:52.His paintings are incredibly lifelike,

:09:53. > :10:00.Water features heavily in his work and he's now been awarded a grant

:10:01. > :10:08.to create art inspired by what he sees underwater.

:10:09. > :10:11.Chris, I have never heard of anything like this.

:10:12. > :10:15.I mean, it's quite an exciting concept, drawing underwater.

:10:16. > :10:17.Well, I'd never heard of it either, to be honest.

:10:18. > :10:20.I'd heard of it but I'd certainly never tried it. OK.

:10:21. > :10:24.I've developed my own sketching kit. This is waterproof paper. OK.

:10:25. > :10:26.What you do down at the seabed, then,

:10:27. > :10:29.how much of that is that like a sketch of what you're going

:10:30. > :10:33.to do, as far as the finished product? Or, is that it?

:10:34. > :10:38.Really what I'm trying to do today is just go down,

:10:39. > :10:44.do some little sketches of things and it'll just be in pencil.

:10:45. > :10:47.Those will be my prime source of reference.

:10:48. > :10:50.That together with the memory of the dive, if you like.

:10:51. > :10:57.To access this underwater world, you need to be qualified.

:10:58. > :11:00.I'm an advanced diver with more than ten years' experience, and Chris

:11:01. > :11:04.has been in intense training for the past month, or so.

:11:05. > :11:08.To keep us safe on our dive, we've got a fully seasoned diving

:11:09. > :11:12.crew and Nic from Seasearch is also here to help Chris.

:11:13. > :11:16.So, Nic, how does what Chris is doing fit in to what you do?

:11:17. > :11:20.I think whilst we collect data and we can do reports,

:11:21. > :11:23.that might not always catch the imagination of your average

:11:24. > :11:25.person who comes out to the Farne Islands.

:11:26. > :11:29.But if Chris comes up and does some of his drawings of what we see

:11:30. > :11:33.then it really does show people it's worth looking after our seas.

:11:34. > :11:43.There is so much interesting life down there.

:11:44. > :11:53.The forest of kelp on the seabed first catches my attention.

:11:54. > :11:56.Then I remember I'm not just here to look.

:11:57. > :12:10.Chris's drawing system works a treat.

:12:11. > :12:16.But with a tidal flow and the cumbersome kit, it's tricky.

:12:17. > :12:27.We're under the sea for about 30 minutes.

:12:28. > :12:39.Woo! Wow! I tell you what, it's pretty nippy down there.

:12:40. > :12:42.Right, Chris, it's the show and tell now. It's the show and tell.

:12:43. > :12:45.Oh, dear. I did sort of like a weird seascape thing that, I don't know...

:12:46. > :12:48.I don't know where that was going but I took bits from all over

:12:49. > :12:51.the place. There's the sea urchin. The sea urchin there on that one.

:12:52. > :13:00.Yeah, I sat there and thought, "OK, we've got that sea lettuce."

:13:01. > :13:02.There was a little patch of green in there.

:13:03. > :13:05.There was, really vibrant, wasn't it? It was a lovely vibrant green.

:13:06. > :13:07.Then you had kelp in the background and there was

:13:08. > :13:11.a patch of sand which would give a nice tonal contrast to the

:13:12. > :13:14.whole thing and, of course, in the background you've just got that

:13:15. > :13:20.In conditions where it really is hard to draw,

:13:21. > :13:29.it's difficult to imagine creating high-quality art.

:13:30. > :13:33.We take our time, heading back to Seahouses to catch our breath.

:13:34. > :13:40.It isn't long before Chris is interpreting his sketches in paint.

:13:41. > :13:43.So all these colours, they're just coming from memory?

:13:44. > :13:47.When we were down there I was consciously looking at all

:13:48. > :13:50.the colours and trying to record them in my head,

:13:51. > :13:53.which is why, when I come out of the water,

:13:54. > :13:56.I wanted to crack straight on with doing this field painting,

:13:57. > :13:58.while the colours are still fresh in my mind,

:13:59. > :14:02.to try and get a sense of the atmosphere of the underwater world.

:14:03. > :14:23.Thank you very much for a wonderful experience, one I'll never forget.

:14:24. > :14:27.Leaving the north-east, we return to the Chilterns and the

:14:28. > :14:30.Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden.

:14:31. > :14:34.It may be small but visitors come from far and wide to marvel

:14:35. > :14:40.at its definitive collection of Dahl artefacts.

:14:41. > :14:44.And this is perhaps the most remarkable thing in the museum.

:14:45. > :14:48.It's the inside of Roald Dahl's writing hut.

:14:49. > :14:51.I remember seeing the hut in his garden, at his home.

:14:52. > :14:54.Now here it is in the museum, exactly as it used to be.

:14:55. > :14:58.They even brought the dust from the floor with them.

:14:59. > :15:00.There's his old writing chair and the HB pencils.

:15:01. > :15:03.He never used any other kind of pencil,

:15:04. > :15:05.only HB which he had brought over from America.

:15:06. > :15:08.There are lots of other things in this room

:15:09. > :15:13.Look, over there, there is a model of a Hurricane fighter plane.

:15:14. > :15:17.That was given to him by his secretary, Wendy, because Roald Dahl

:15:18. > :15:21.was a fighter pilot during the war and he flew Hurricanes.

:15:22. > :15:32.This is where he turned his genius into books.

:15:33. > :15:36.The museum has a remarkable set of Dahl manuscripts,

:15:37. > :15:43.a tale of a crafty fox and his battle to outwit local farmers.

:15:44. > :15:47.Dahl's early versions of the story, not normally on show,

:15:48. > :15:51.are quite different from the finished book.

:15:52. > :15:55.Mr Fox, no "fantastic" at this stage. Mr Fox by Roald Dahl.

:15:56. > :15:58.As you can see, he cut out all the little bits of typing into

:15:59. > :16:02.this notebook and gradually the story developed.

:16:03. > :16:05.He sent this to his publishers and the new ideas came in.

:16:06. > :16:09.The farmers were added to add a bit of conflict and eventually,

:16:10. > :16:13.after a lot of hard graft and rewriting because, after all

:16:14. > :16:29.Later, I'll be venturing into the woods that Dahl explored with

:16:30. > :16:34.his children and which inspired him to write Fantastic Mr Fox,

:16:35. > :16:38.but first, Ellie met a graffiti artist last autumn who also

:16:39. > :16:55.has a fancy for foxes... and other creatures.

:16:56. > :16:58.The Shropshire hills are abundant with wildlife.

:16:59. > :17:05.The berry-rich hedgerows, a feast for migrating winter birds.

:17:06. > :17:08.It's these feathered friends that have captured the imagination

:17:09. > :17:16.of an artist whose work has very urban origins.

:17:17. > :17:22.Matt Sewell has exhibited in London, New York, Tokyo and Paris.

:17:23. > :17:25.He's spray-painted walls across the globe.

:17:26. > :17:29.But this street artist is a country lad at heart, an avid

:17:30. > :17:32.ornithologist, whose caricatures of birds

:17:33. > :17:36.What was it that first got you into birds,

:17:37. > :17:42.When I grew up on a smallholding in County Durham

:17:43. > :17:46.and we were just surrounded by birds and my dad liked to just keep

:17:47. > :17:49.me in check, knowing that I knew everything that was there.

:17:50. > :17:52.So what about the street art, then? When did that come in?

:17:53. > :17:56.That was kind of when I got a bit older and moved to Brighton.

:17:57. > :18:02.So nature and art became what I kind of did, really.

:18:03. > :18:04.What sort of stuff were you doing in Brighton?

:18:05. > :18:11.It was the fox that quickly became my signature, in a sense.

:18:12. > :18:14.But today, it's Matt's spotting and jotting guide to British birds

:18:15. > :18:17.that's capturing people's imaginations.

:18:18. > :18:20.I've got one of your books and it's the descriptions

:18:21. > :18:24.because the illustrations are lovely, but, you get a real sense of

:18:25. > :18:26.the caricatures from what you say about them.

:18:27. > :18:28.It all comes from just the thoughts I used to have of them when I

:18:29. > :18:31.was a kid. I couldn't help but just create little characters for

:18:32. > :18:38.them by what they look like as well, by the movements and habits.

:18:39. > :18:41.Matt and I have come to The Hollies nature reserve.

:18:42. > :18:44.On a good day, it's the ideal spot for watching

:18:45. > :18:50.Today, the birds may have taken shelter from the wind and rain,

:18:51. > :18:53.but that's not going to put us off sketching.

:18:54. > :18:55.Shall we have a go at drawing something, even though the

:18:56. > :18:58.shapes are a little bit blurry out there? I can definitely show

:18:59. > :19:01.you how to draw a redwing, anyway. OK, great.

:19:02. > :19:08.and the long body, with the long wing.

:19:09. > :19:11.That's a distinctive Matt Sewell, within seconds. Yeah!

:19:12. > :19:14.If I coloured that in now, that would definitely be a blackbird,

:19:15. > :19:16.but, to make it the redwing, you just give it this kind of, like,

:19:17. > :19:22.marking behind the eyes and the speckled thrush chest.

:19:23. > :19:26.There you go, instant. Yeah. And now, all I need is my red pencil

:19:27. > :19:29.to go under the wing and there we go. Identifiable within seconds.

:19:30. > :19:35.if you come out and you're not getting the bird

:19:36. > :19:40.Well, I just like going and seeing what I can find.

:19:41. > :19:43.If it's like this, just going for a walk and just trying to get

:19:44. > :19:46.a little bit of inspiration and then taking it back to the studio.

:19:47. > :19:49.I've basically just copied yours there, look.

:19:50. > :19:57.It does look more like a robin. How can that be?

:19:58. > :20:00.But then, a robin is related to it. It's a thrush, isn't it?

:20:01. > :20:06.Matt didn't seem too impressed with my sketches,

:20:07. > :20:10.but maybe I'll fare better with a can of spray paint.

:20:11. > :20:13.Matt said that I could get stuck in giving him a hand with a mural

:20:14. > :20:18.that he's dedicated to Shropshire wildlife.

:20:19. > :20:22.Matt's illustrations have led to many commissions for murals,

:20:23. > :20:25.including this one on the edge of a housing estate

:20:26. > :20:30.Hi. It's looking good. Thanks very much.

:20:31. > :20:32.You've got all the holly and everything.

:20:33. > :20:35.I guess what's great about this is that you're bringing wildlife

:20:36. > :20:38.that might not be seen in the town right into this environment,

:20:39. > :20:45.No, there's not that many places to do it, so this is perfect, really.

:20:46. > :20:48.A lot of people pass through here. There's a lot of nature around,

:20:49. > :20:52.It's like a spotter's checklist as they go off on their walk. Exactly.

:20:53. > :20:56.Now, I've never, ever done this, so I'm going to need a lot of guidance.

:20:57. > :20:59.I don't want to ruin it. You'll be all right. Yeah, gloves on.

:21:00. > :21:02.Yeah, get your gloves on. What's next? Right, OK.

:21:03. > :21:06.So, you need to do... So, you've got the beak.

:21:07. > :21:11.Oh, nearly. Just nice and slow. OK, slow, slow, slow.

:21:12. > :21:19.Oh, you're doing good. That's good coverage.

:21:20. > :21:48.On today's programme, we're taking a look at our country's magnificent

:21:49. > :21:55.landscapes and their influence on some of our most creative talents.

:21:56. > :22:00.Only last spring, Helen met and unmasked a mysterious photographer,

:22:01. > :22:17.who gets inspiration from the beautiful Peak District.

:22:18. > :22:20.He has 13,000 followers on the internet and some pictures have

:22:21. > :22:23.been shared more than ten million times.

:22:24. > :22:26.But, like the Banksy of the photographic world,

:22:27. > :22:30.he is known only by the mysterious alias, Villager Jim.

:22:31. > :22:33.Today, he's agreed to reveal his identity to me

:22:34. > :22:38.Jim. Hi, Helen. Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you, too.

:22:39. > :22:41.I can imagine, living in a place like this, it's quite easy

:22:42. > :22:43.to get into photography, but how did it all start?

:22:44. > :22:47.Yeah. Well, I started getting into photography when I moved

:22:48. > :22:52.to the Peak District, simply because I noticed, coming from a city,

:22:53. > :22:57.It's not about sitting there with a camouflage tent for me.

:22:58. > :23:00.I'm about going out there and seeing what's out that particular morning.

:23:01. > :23:04.I'm a complete novice, although I invested in an OK camera.

:23:05. > :23:11.You can take amazing photos nowadays, so, people shouldn't be

:23:12. > :23:18.It's really, mostly, all about composition

:23:19. > :23:21.and anticipation of what's going to happen in a shot.

:23:22. > :23:25.One of the best ways of having good composition is to imagine

:23:26. > :23:31.a noughts and crosses on your screen and try not to put the subject

:23:32. > :23:34.Is there anything else I should be thinking about?

:23:35. > :23:37.Instead of taking the whole animal, just take a part of it and

:23:38. > :23:40.play around and you'll suddenly realise that taking that ear or

:23:41. > :23:47.Where is a good place to start when you are looking for a subject?

:23:48. > :23:52.Any garden bird is fantastic if you get the right picture of it.

:23:53. > :23:58.and the thing to do is to help them by feeding them.

:23:59. > :24:01.Never mind Villager Jim, I think he's more like Dr Dolittle.

:24:02. > :24:13.So far, so good, but Jim has sent me on a solo mission

:24:14. > :24:17.to put his tips into practice by photographing the pedigree cattle

:24:18. > :24:20.just down the road at the Chatsworth Estate.

:24:21. > :24:23.If that wasn't pressure enough, the Duke of Devonshire himself

:24:24. > :24:30.is also a fan of Jim's work, so, my photos better be up to standard.

:24:31. > :24:43.OK, now, Jim said don't get you in the centre.

:24:44. > :24:50.are in the middle of my noughts and crosses grid.

:24:51. > :25:00.something that's not going to happen.

:25:01. > :25:13.I've definitely got quantity, if not quality.

:25:14. > :25:18.Well, I'm pleased with my pics. Time to see what the maestro has to say.

:25:19. > :25:28.Right. Well, the very first one I click on is actually pretty good.

:25:29. > :25:31.Obviously, there's lots of cows, but with Chatsworth at the back,

:25:32. > :25:36.And, you've actually, going on the noughts and courses,

:25:37. > :25:39.you've used the bottom three squares as the main subjects.

:25:40. > :25:45.Yeah, again, makes a fabulous photo, cos they look so gentle, don't they?

:25:46. > :25:48.But, it's just ever so slightly out of focus, even with my glasses on.

:25:49. > :25:54.With that one, I was going for the anticipation thing.

:25:55. > :25:56.I was trying to get it to stick its tongue out.

:25:57. > :26:08.For me, it's just the way that the cow tilts her head.

:26:09. > :26:11.It just gives a bit of character to it. So, you'd print that?

:26:12. > :26:17.Thank you. I may have taken about 800 pictures today,

:26:18. > :26:19.but that nod of approval will do. Thank you, Jim.

:26:20. > :26:28.This month marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of

:26:29. > :26:32.Roald Dahl, so, we're exploring his Chiltern Hills and other

:26:33. > :26:36.landscapes that stir the creative spirit.

:26:37. > :26:41.but he was also a very keen gardener.

:26:42. > :26:45.He didn't grow snozzcumbers or giant peaches or anything like that,

:26:46. > :26:49.but he was very passionate about his garden and I'm off now to meet a man

:26:50. > :26:58.Keith Pounder became Roald Dahl's gardener in his early 20s

:26:59. > :27:01.and he still looks after the five-acre garden

:27:02. > :27:04.that he helped create around Dahl's writing hut.

:27:05. > :27:11.Did he ever discuss his stories with you?

:27:12. > :27:15.He often mentioned about the countryside around us and things

:27:16. > :27:18.that were in the garden that had developed,

:27:19. > :27:21.like the cherry tree at the top of the garden.

:27:22. > :27:25.he was thinking about James And The Giant Cherry,

:27:26. > :27:28.but I think in the end he thought a cherry

:27:29. > :27:32.So, he opted for the peach. It doesn't sound as good, does it?

:27:33. > :27:36.James And The Giant Cherry Tree. No. Definitely not.

:27:37. > :27:44.and he used to have a little competition with his snooker buddies

:27:45. > :27:47.each year of who could grow the biggest onion.

:27:48. > :27:52.I did hear a story once that he did cheat a little bit sometimes.

:27:53. > :27:55.Is that true? Well, he just got a head start.

:27:56. > :27:59.He used to buy his plants in already part-grown. Ah, right.

:28:00. > :28:01.Everybody else was growing from seed? Yeah.

:28:02. > :28:06.And what would you say was Roald's legacy, as far as you're concerned?

:28:07. > :28:11.Erm, I think, for me, he taught me to be the best I can be.

:28:12. > :28:16.Even if it was the minor things in life, to do the best you can.

:28:17. > :28:27.Absolutely. Yeah. You've got to enjoy what you do in life.

:28:28. > :28:30.Well, let's step away from the Chilterns for news of a Countryfile

:28:31. > :28:47.event that's harnessing the power of the countryside to change lives.

:28:48. > :28:55.and I wanted to go on this ramble to help Children in Need.

:28:56. > :29:07.Last year, we launched the first ever Countryfile Ramble

:29:08. > :29:19.whoever you were with, we all walked together.

:29:20. > :29:23.And we proved that taking a few simple steps can help transform

:29:24. > :29:29.the lives of thousands of disadvantaged youngsters.

:29:30. > :29:32.For one weekend only, the rambles are back and this year's

:29:33. > :29:44.Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need needs you.

:29:45. > :29:47.On the 8th and 9th of October, while we're heading out

:29:48. > :29:51.on our own rambles, we want you to head out on yours.

:29:52. > :29:59.We want you to let your feet do the talking, because you are the

:30:00. > :30:07.power behind the Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need.

:30:08. > :30:21.and put on your own sponsored ramble.

:30:22. > :30:24.We know from last year that if we all get out there and ramble

:30:25. > :30:29.But sadly there are still thousands of youngsters

:30:30. > :30:41.Children in Need help families all over the UK.

:30:42. > :30:45.The charities they support help children gain confidence and

:30:46. > :30:53.Olivia lives near Cardiff with mum Karen and dad Jeff.

:30:54. > :30:58.and loves doing all the things that any teenager enjoys.

:30:59. > :31:18.one of the most well-known causes of a learning disability.

:31:19. > :31:21.The condition can affect people in lots of different ways

:31:22. > :31:27.but children who have it are as individual as any other child.

:31:28. > :31:33.Maybe I could do some swimming on the lake.

:31:34. > :31:37.The main thing Olivia loves to do is be the centre of attention.

:31:38. > :31:54.When Olivia was born, it soon became clear to Karen and Jeff

:31:55. > :32:02.to say there's a possibility that she could be Down's syndrome.

:32:03. > :32:05.Our world was just totally turned upside down.

:32:06. > :32:08.With all the hopes and fears of any new mum,

:32:09. > :32:12.this wasn't the start in life they'd imagined for their new daughter.

:32:13. > :32:16.The fear was not fully understanding the scale of Down's syndrome,

:32:17. > :32:22.is she going to be able to walk, to talk, to communicate?

:32:23. > :32:28.It was like fast-forwarding her life to 20, 30 years,

:32:29. > :32:31.when my husband and I are not around.

:32:32. > :32:38.From that moment, Karen and Jeff always wanted to give Olivia

:32:39. > :32:44.She'd been in a mainstream environment all her life.

:32:45. > :32:51.She had a fantastic network of friends.

:32:52. > :32:56.But as time went on, Olivia began to feel isolated at school

:32:57. > :32:59.and Mum and Dad became increasingly concerned.

:33:00. > :33:01.Olivia was getting anxious. She wasn't herself.

:33:02. > :33:04.She'd come home, you'd ask her how she got on at school, it was like,

:33:05. > :33:10.She was withdrawn from all her friends.

:33:11. > :33:13.And then it just went from bad to worse.

:33:14. > :33:18.saying she didn't want to go back to school.

:33:19. > :33:25.It was just horrendous seeing her go through that.

:33:26. > :33:29.It was a local club in the community that helped give the family

:33:30. > :33:31.the support that they so desperately needed

:33:32. > :33:35.and helped bring back the Olivia they knew.

:33:36. > :33:38.Cathays Community Centre is one of the best things

:33:39. > :33:43.and I think, not just from Olivia's point of view,

:33:44. > :33:47.from the children that are actually living in that community.

:33:48. > :33:50.It's a hub where people meet, where people feel relaxed

:33:51. > :33:57.The Cathays Central Youth and Community Centre,

:33:58. > :33:59.with vital funding from Children in Need,

:34:00. > :34:03.run a Friday evening club for children and young adults

:34:04. > :34:12.I can do, like, I do outdoor learning

:34:13. > :34:23.Maybe arts and crafts, and I can do a lot of acting as well.

:34:24. > :34:27.Children have loads of fun at the centre and go on activity trips

:34:28. > :34:30.to the countryside, where the great outdoors helps them to

:34:31. > :34:32.build confidence and enrich their lives.

:34:33. > :34:36.It's just a safe haven for her, which is her time,

:34:37. > :34:39.and she's involved with not just people from her own school,

:34:40. > :34:41.from the community down there as well.

:34:42. > :34:46.Everybody is equal and they all get on.

:34:47. > :35:01.I like to chill out. I can do lots of kind of things.

:35:02. > :35:04.The people that work there, a lot of them do it voluntary

:35:05. > :35:07.and I take my hat off to them. I couldn't...

:35:08. > :35:18.of what they've actually provided for my daughter.

:35:19. > :35:22.Being part of the club is making a huge difference to Olivia's life...

:35:23. > :35:25.Olivia, prynhawn da, Olivia. Prynhawn da, Miss Margaret.

:35:26. > :35:29.has helped return her to her usual happy self.

:35:30. > :35:34.Your trainers. Look at them. They're posh, aren't they? Yeah.

:35:35. > :35:39.She's very happy and she takes everything in her stride,

:35:40. > :35:48.Yeah, definitely. I'm always happy, with me.

:35:49. > :35:57.At the end of the day, it's all about Olivia and her happiness.

:35:58. > :36:00.It's clear that with her new-found confidence,

:36:01. > :36:04.Olivia's gone from strength to strength.

:36:05. > :36:29.The Cathays Central Youth and Community Project

:36:30. > :36:32.is just one of the many organisations

:36:33. > :36:35.that rely on funding from Children in Need.

:36:36. > :36:38.Now, we know that some of you won't be able to put on your

:36:39. > :36:40.walking boots and get out into the countryside

:36:41. > :36:46.Please donate now, if you're able, because it will

:36:47. > :37:26.help other children like Olivia get the vital support that they need.

:37:27. > :37:36.The Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need takes place on

:37:37. > :37:39.Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of October.

:37:40. > :37:43.is download a sponsorship form from our website,

:37:44. > :37:48.raise some money and get out there on your ramble.

:37:49. > :37:51.On the website, you'll also find ideas and inspiration for

:37:52. > :37:58.And when you've planned your route,

:37:59. > :38:00.we'd love to hear where you're going,

:38:01. > :38:16.Together we can make this year's ramble bigger, better and

:38:17. > :38:21.offer our support to even more of Britain's most vulnerable children.

:38:22. > :38:28.The power to transform lives for ever.

:38:29. > :38:42.Today, we're exploring stirring landscapes

:38:43. > :38:50.like the Chiltern Hills that so captivated Roald Dahl.

:38:51. > :38:53.A couple of winters ago, Adam travelled to Cornwall

:38:54. > :38:58.to discover inspiration can literally wash up at your feet.

:38:59. > :39:02.Where I live in the Cotswolds, I'm totally landlocked, so I love

:39:03. > :39:04.coming to the beach to get my sea fix, particularly at this

:39:05. > :39:08.time of year when it's so wild and unpredictable.

:39:09. > :39:11.Even familiar places look very different.

:39:12. > :39:15.And it's now that nature takes over, reclaiming its shoreline,

:39:16. > :39:23.Dom Clarke knows all about the effect of storms on our coastline

:39:24. > :39:27.and the objects that end up where the sea meets the land,

:39:28. > :39:31.Hi. That looked pretty severe out there. Yeah, some pretty

:39:32. > :39:34.big waves. And I suppose these winter storms are bringing it in.

:39:35. > :39:37.Yeah, low pressure after low pressure at the moment.

:39:38. > :39:44.A strand line is where debris from the sea gets washed up...

:39:45. > :39:48.to the furthest point of where the tide can get to.

:39:49. > :39:51.There's a lot of rubbish in here, isn't there?

:39:52. > :39:55.One of the big things that you find is what we call sea nuts.

:39:56. > :39:58.And that's a hazelnut. Who knows where it's come from?

:39:59. > :40:01.It could have come from anywhere, I suppose. It really could have.

:40:02. > :40:04.And are the winter strand lines very different to the summer?

:40:05. > :40:07.We get a lot more wood washed ashore at this time of year

:40:08. > :40:10.and, as you can see, giant logs over there.

:40:11. > :40:14.Yeah, it's floating around like matchsticks in the ocean.

:40:15. > :40:19.That is sort of your classic cuttlebone.

:40:20. > :40:22.You get a lot of these washed up after storms as well.

:40:23. > :40:24.They sell them in pet stores for parrots...

:40:25. > :40:30.What they actually used to do is grind up the body of it,

:40:31. > :40:35.and put it into toothpaste as an abrasive to clean your teeth.

:40:36. > :40:39.Incredible. There you go. Never knew that.

:40:40. > :40:43.Dom's not the only person exploring the strand line for bounty.

:40:44. > :40:47.His friend, Susie Ray, is an artist who turns what she finds on

:40:48. > :40:53.Hi, Susie. Good to see you. Hello, Adam. Hey, Suse. Hey, Dom.

:40:54. > :40:56.My word. You've got a lot more in your buckets than I've got in mine.

:40:57. > :40:58.Oh, there's just tons of stuff out there today.

:40:59. > :41:00.The storms are amazing. Dom, do you want to hold that bucket?

:41:01. > :41:02.Those are big cuttlefish there, aren't they? Yeah.

:41:03. > :41:05.And whelk eggs. Yeah. Whelk eggs, incredible!

:41:06. > :41:08.Yeah, they look man-made. Some people think they are.

:41:09. > :41:11.They look a lot like bubble wrap. They do, don't they?

:41:12. > :41:14.Or packaging, so that's what a lot of people assume that they are

:41:15. > :41:18.This is really great stuff, actually.

:41:19. > :41:21.We do some fantastic art stuff with that.

:41:22. > :41:23.That's beautiful, isn't it? It's really amazing.

:41:24. > :41:26.I've got here, a couple of sea beans. That's amazing.

:41:27. > :41:31.That comes from tropical America or the West Indies and it comes on

:41:32. > :41:35.the Gulf Stream via the North Atlantic Drift

:41:36. > :41:39.and what's amazing is that they can float for up to 19 years.

:41:40. > :41:43.So shall we take all this lot back to your studio? Absolutely, yeah.

:41:44. > :41:45.I can't wait to show you what we can do with it.

:41:46. > :41:47.You've got to go back surfing. Surf's up.

:41:48. > :41:51.You've got everything you need? Oh, look. There we go.

:41:52. > :41:57.Susie's home and studio are within shouting distance

:41:58. > :42:06.She grew up on the south Cornish coast, where she first developed

:42:07. > :42:13.her love of beachcombing and the natural world.

:42:14. > :42:18.Now her home is filled with treasures from the beach.

:42:19. > :42:22.She's going to show me how to use a 19th-century Japanese

:42:23. > :42:28.printing technique to transform flotsam into works of art.

:42:29. > :42:32.Just be bold. Mix up lots of paint. More blue than black, I'd say.

:42:33. > :42:34.Just get it on. Give it that nice tinge.

:42:35. > :42:37.And then it always comes out differently, every one you do.

:42:38. > :42:39.So just grip your sculpture and just cover it in paint.

:42:40. > :42:44.OK, that's really good. Nearly there.

:42:45. > :42:48.Lift that up and put that onto this sheet here

:42:49. > :42:54.That's it. Is that OK? Yes. Keep one hand on it. Yeah.

:42:55. > :42:57.That's it. And then just smooth it down with your fingers.

:42:58. > :43:05.Keep this... Always keep that hand on if you can. That's it.

:43:06. > :43:17.That's it. Just do the... The big reveal. ..the big reveal.

:43:18. > :43:19.Look at that. Oh, yes. That's not bad.

:43:20. > :43:22.That's not bad, especially for a first attempt.

:43:23. > :43:28.So while I perfect the technique using more of our morning's finds...

:43:29. > :43:35...Susie is showing me what an expert can achieve on a whole John Dory.

:43:36. > :43:38.Right, well, I think we can have a go at pulling back the sheet

:43:39. > :44:01.Well, here we are. This is the result of my day at the seaside.

:44:02. > :44:02.Actually, I'm quite pleased with those.

:44:03. > :44:12.The objects used in Susie's art have been on an extraordinary journey,

:44:13. > :44:15.from distant continents and from the seabed.

:44:16. > :44:21.that leave them like gifts on our shores.

:44:22. > :44:27.and is it going to be, in the words of Roald Dahl, a wondercrump week

:44:28. > :44:30.or will it be bopmuggered for rambling and everything else?

:44:31. > :44:46.Let's find out by going over to the BBC weather centre.

:44:47. > :44:55.I'm not sure about this week but last week in the words of rolled up

:44:56. > :45:00.could be glorious is not a bit jumpy. We were breaking record last

:45:01. > :45:07.week with temperatures recorded just short of 35 Celtics. Last time we

:45:08. > :45:11.had temperatures like that in September was over a hundred years

:45:12. > :45:16.ago. We had three consecutive days of 30 selfies and we have not had

:45:17. > :45:21.that in September since 1929. But it all ended with a bang on Thursday

:45:22. > :45:26.and Friday with rainfall totals like this in part of Suffolk, a months

:45:27. > :45:31.worth of rain in 24-hour 's. Fortunately we had some clearer

:45:32. > :45:36.skies through the weekend and we were sent in these beautiful harvest

:45:37. > :45:40.Moon shots, the last full moon before the autumn equinox which is

:45:41. > :45:43.this week. It is on Thursday and I'm pleased to say the weather looks a

:45:44. > :45:48.bit more straightforward. Some sunny spells, some rain, but temperatures

:45:49. > :45:52.near normal for this time of year. The rain will come from areas of low

:45:53. > :45:56.pressure shooting in from the Atlantic, some quite intense for a

:45:57. > :45:59.time but they will weaken substantially as they will be

:46:00. > :46:06.blocked by an area of high pressure. That will be the pattern for the

:46:07. > :46:09.next few days. The jet stream will be fairly invigorated as it dries

:46:10. > :46:14.these areas in but you can see there is quite a kick as it pushes them up

:46:15. > :46:19.towards Iceland, blocked by this omega patent of high pressure around

:46:20. > :46:23.Scandinavia and we consider first sight of that at the moment. Moving

:46:24. > :46:27.through tonight into Monday morning, the weather front will be weakening

:46:28. > :46:31.and pushing into the Midlands and down to the south-west and that is

:46:32. > :46:35.where it is likely to stay on Monday with a band of cloud and patchy

:46:36. > :46:39.drizzly rain. Underneath it it will feel disappointing. In the east,

:46:40. > :46:44.some sunshine and warmth, to the north and west, some sunny spells.

:46:45. > :46:51.Moving into Tuesday, that front doesn't move far. Still a band of

:46:52. > :46:55.cloud thick enough for the odd spot or two of rain. It might start a bit

:46:56. > :47:00.misty in the south-east but the sunshine will come through with

:47:01. > :47:04.highs of 20. Moving into Wednesday, another significant low-pressure

:47:05. > :47:08.will bring some wet and windy weather into Northern Ireland and

:47:09. > :47:12.west of Scotland. There will be an increase of cloud on the western

:47:13. > :47:14.coasts but the further east, the best of the sunshine, again the

:47:15. > :47:22.potential for some early morning mist and patchy fog which should

:47:23. > :47:26.lift and we should have highs of the mid to high teens. In the Thursday,

:47:27. > :47:30.a significant chance of more frequent and sharp showers around

:47:31. > :47:35.the country so what the full cost for more details. Highs of 15 to 20

:47:36. > :47:41.again. Another fund looks likely to push in on Friday and we could see

:47:42. > :47:44.significant gales in the extreme north and west, tightly squeezed

:47:45. > :47:49.isobars and more rain but relatively quiet for the bulk of the country.

:47:50. > :47:53.Again, you will have to watch the forecast for mist and fog patches

:47:54. > :47:57.first thing but we will see a good deal of dry weather with some

:47:58. > :48:01.sunshine coming through. If you still have harvest together or field

:48:02. > :48:04.to plough, there is always the risk of some rain in the far north and

:48:05. > :48:07.west with stronger winds but when the mist and fog lifts there will be

:48:08. > :48:19.some decent and dry weather with some sunshine coming through.

:48:20. > :48:23.This week we're celebrating Roald Dahl's centenary.

:48:24. > :48:26.Shortly, I'll be walking through the Chiltern Beechwoods

:48:27. > :48:29.that inspired one of his best-loved stories.

:48:30. > :48:35.Anita travelled deep into south Devon to meet an artist

:48:36. > :48:45.entranced by the woodlands around him.

:48:46. > :48:49.hardly anything has changed for centuries,

:48:50. > :48:52.from the ruins of Berry Pomeroy Castle

:48:53. > :48:57.and the ancient waters that surround it.

:48:58. > :49:00.So it's the perfect spot to meet a sculptor who takes

:49:01. > :49:08.inspiration from the old to create something very new.

:49:09. > :49:10.Alarik Greenland is a local sculptor.

:49:11. > :49:18.He painstakingly twists wires and jewels together

:49:19. > :49:34.They're ancient trees from his childhood surroundings.

:49:35. > :49:38.Alarik, you can see that this is a very special spot.

:49:39. > :49:41.It is, yeah. It's very special to me.

:49:42. > :49:44.Everywhere I go around here, it stirs up memories for me,

:49:45. > :49:47.just because I've been here my whole life.

:49:48. > :49:49.What is it about the trees in particular?

:49:50. > :49:53.It's the sense that they have been here for so long

:49:54. > :50:02.and that they've been touched by people that I've never known.

:50:03. > :50:06.The ruined castle offers fantastic views of the woodland below,

:50:07. > :50:12.a perfect spot for a lesson in tree sculpture.

:50:13. > :50:15.Wow. How many hours did it take you to make this?

:50:16. > :50:19.Altogether, it can take about four to five weeks to make a tree.

:50:20. > :50:21.I can't promise you four weeks of my life

:50:22. > :50:26.but I certainly fancy having a go. Yeah. Shall we?

:50:27. > :50:33.Right, so don't mess up, Anita, cos it's expensive. Yes!

:50:34. > :50:40.and then make about three to four twists.

:50:41. > :50:44.And how many beads would one tree have on it?

:50:45. > :50:48.One tree, the latest one that I've got is 10,000,

:50:49. > :51:00.I might have just wasted a bit of gold!

:51:01. > :51:05.This is an incredibly intricate work of art, but

:51:06. > :51:11.the piece of wood it sits on has a fascinating life of its own, too.

:51:12. > :51:14.Alarik salvages these centuries-old pieces of wood from the depths

:51:15. > :51:19.of the River Dart, but how did they get their remarkable appearance?

:51:20. > :51:23.I was excavating a Bronze Age site on the top of Dartmoor...

:51:24. > :51:26.'Dr Ralph Fyfe, an expert in fossilised plants,

:51:27. > :51:30.'is casting his eye over one of Alarik's finds.'

:51:31. > :51:36.at the bottom of the river. A little bit like this.

:51:37. > :51:40.Let's spin it round. This was out in the water column.

:51:41. > :51:45.What's happened is, as this piece of wood

:51:46. > :51:50.there's tannins in the wood, and those tannins are reacting with

:51:51. > :51:53.the slightly acidic waters, and the iron in the water as well.

:51:54. > :51:56.That means that a chemical process occurs, which means

:51:57. > :52:00.the wood draws the iron into the actual structure itself.

:52:01. > :52:05.then it sits around in the water for a few hundred years.

:52:06. > :52:13.And it becomes this. And then it gets given a new life by an artist.

:52:14. > :52:18.I'm keen to find a piece, and Alarik knows just what to look for.

:52:19. > :52:21.Sometimes it can be too rotten, not bogged enough,

:52:22. > :52:25.And another thing, it's not the right shape,

:52:26. > :52:27.so we've got to look carefully, we've got to look for a nice piece.

:52:28. > :52:30.But first things first, you've got to get me in the water. Yes.

:52:31. > :52:32.How do you plan on doing that, then? Run in!

:52:33. > :52:37.The sun's shining and I'm all out of excuses.

:52:38. > :53:26.I want to get out and look at it. Let's pull it out.

:53:27. > :53:30.That is... Look at that. Are you happy with that?

:53:31. > :53:34.My mind's ticking over already. How I can use it. That's wonderful.

:53:35. > :53:37.So, in a few months' time, this could look like that.

:53:38. > :53:41.Could well be, yes. Wow. I feel like we've done a good day's work today.

:53:42. > :53:45.Yeah, we have. Well done. Thank you. Should we get back in? Yeah!

:53:46. > :53:51.Alarik's beautiful sculptures, combined with the deadwood from

:53:52. > :54:04.the river, are giving Devon's ancient trees an artistic afterlife.

:54:05. > :54:08.Just a short walk from the Chiltern village of Great Missenden is

:54:09. > :54:14.Angling Spring Wood, a place of enchantment for Roald Dahl.

:54:15. > :54:17.He would come here to dream up the magical tales he'd later

:54:18. > :54:24.One fan who's followed in Dahl's footsteps around this

:54:25. > :54:31.landscape is another children's author, Piers Torday.

:54:32. > :54:34.Did you ever get to meet the great man, Piers? I did, I was very lucky.

:54:35. > :54:37.When I was younger, he visited the children's bookshop my mother ran.

:54:38. > :54:42.And afterwards he sent me this note and explained how as a writer

:54:43. > :54:44.he had made mistakes and he had to take something out of

:54:45. > :54:48.And when I was much older and trying to write myself,

:54:49. > :54:51.I went back to that note. And the fact that Roald Dahl had made

:54:52. > :54:56.mistakes and had to start again gave me the confidence to carry on.

:54:57. > :54:58.And now you write children's stories yourself.

:54:59. > :55:03.I do, I write children's stories about the outdoors and animals.

:55:04. > :55:06.Dahl himself was a great countryman, wasn't he? He was.

:55:07. > :55:09.He loved the countryside, right from a boy, when he loved playing

:55:10. > :55:12.in the fields of Wales, to as an adult when he lived here.

:55:13. > :55:15.And he used to come and walk amongst these woods.

:55:16. > :55:18.And it was actually here that he got the idea for the Fantastic Mr Fox.

:55:19. > :55:23.In this very wood. There was a tree that sadly fell down

:55:24. > :55:27.and it was under that tree in a hole that the Fox family lived.

:55:28. > :55:33.There was a great character in the village of Great Missenden

:55:34. > :55:36.called Claude, who was one of Roald Dahl's great friends,

:55:37. > :55:39.who was actually a bit of a poacher and a rascal,

:55:40. > :55:41.and Roald Dahl loved nothing more than hanging out with him...

:55:42. > :55:44.Doing a bit of poaching? Doing a bit of poaching.

:55:45. > :55:50.the foxes love eating coopfuls of chickens - he wasn't sentimental

:55:51. > :55:53.about that nature is red in tooth and claw.

:55:54. > :55:56.Piers runs regular storytelling sessions for young Roald Dahl

:55:57. > :56:02.enthusiasts in locations the man himself knew and loved.

:56:03. > :56:05.Welcome, everyone, to this beautiful wood in the hills above

:56:06. > :56:12.Great Missenden, which of course is where Roald Dahl used to live.

:56:13. > :56:17.I really like Roald Dahl because in nearly all of his stories,

:56:18. > :56:26.And Damian, what do you think childhood would be like

:56:27. > :56:33.It would just be all boring. I think we all look up to him.

:56:34. > :56:42.so our world would just be completely different without him.

:56:43. > :56:44.It's almost impossible to assess, isn't it,

:56:45. > :56:49.the impact that Roald Dahl has had on millions of children

:56:50. > :56:52.all around the world, and still does today? And still does to this day.

:56:53. > :56:56.I think what was so extraordinary about Roald Dahl is that

:56:57. > :57:04.sometimes, inspiring their imagination is more important

:57:05. > :57:06.than just giving them the facts about the world.

:57:07. > :57:11.You just need to give them that spark of life and curiosity,

:57:12. > :57:14.and that's what might turn them into great people.

:57:15. > :57:16.And is that what you're trying to do now?

:57:17. > :57:19.That's what you're trying to do with stories for children,

:57:20. > :57:23.you're trying to just reach out, just to one, that their

:57:24. > :57:29.curiosity might go on to help make this world a better place.

:57:30. > :57:36.the Chilterns of Roald Dahl's imagination and the magical

:57:37. > :57:40.landscapes beyond have become the most wonderful creative force,

:57:41. > :57:45.and as Dahl once wisely said, "And above all,

:57:46. > :57:55."watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you."

:57:56. > :57:57.That's just about it from Roald Dahl country.

:57:58. > :58:01.Next week, Countryfile will be hosting the 40th anniversary

:58:02. > :58:05.With teams from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales,

:58:06. > :58:08.it's going to come from County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland,

:58:09. > :58:14.But right now, from Buckinghamshire, it's goodbye,
