I don't know what I would do without Radio 4 - my favourite programme ! I would keep it even if they took away my telly, which I hardly watch now !
Although I couldn't do without my internet either now !
Anyway here was a good programme this weekend - Landward - well worth watching - it has a piece about Red Deer Farming - if I was a farmer I'd definitely think about getting into this...Although they do look quite tricky to handle. And I am not a great one about killing animals for meat. Although I can see the argument that at least if we can make sure they are well cared for and have a reasonable standard of living.... The programme then goes on to look at a massive forestry operation on the A82. Very interesting ! And it finishes with the best bit - whisky tasting ! And some real connoisseurs appreciating some old malts and a visit to one of our favourites - Glenlivet Distillery. I think the programme starts with a piece about the new John Muir way which has been laid out near the Campsies area north of Glasgow, but I missed the beginning:

And then this morning there was a really interesting programme Start the Week which was talking about the Future of Capitalism on Radio 4.
Well worth listening to. Although the interviewer let one woman speak too long in my opinion and then butted in over two crucial and important points where I was really wanting to hear the end of the sentence !
Very interesting the idea that we are now away from the Gold Standard since 1971 so we now just have to trust that money is worth what is written on it. And when governments start printing money its when they are trying to have a war....mmm !
