Hello
No Matt on this week CF but there are promising CF episodes line up in next 2 weeks!
Padstow - Sun 15 Dec 2013 18:00
Countryfile is in North Cornwall. Matt Baker visits a stately home with an interesting past. Prideaux Place has been in the same family for fourteen generations and once housed American soldiers during the Second World War as they prepared for the D-Day landings. Matt gets access to the 'American Wing' which has remained untouched since 1943. Prideaux Place is thought to have the oldest fallow deer park herd in the country. Matt helps catch one special buck that's got himself in a spot of bother.
Christmas Special - Sun 22 Dec 2013 19:00
The Countryfile team celebrate the festive season with a woodland Christmas at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire, lighting up a mile-long stretch of enchanted woodland with glitter balls, lasers, meteorite lights and bubbles full of smoke.
Julia Bradbury acts as lighting apprentice for the day, learning from the experts how to create a magical festive display. Matt Baker learns about the history of the ancient woodland, and how the forestry commission keep the trees happy and healthy.
I am so looking forward to see again Matt on CF. He has been missed but I think he was busy with his Mini Baker Safari
last 2 weeks cos he said to Julia that a lot of things still to do – a cat, 2 dogs, 3 acres of land, 4 chickens, 6 hebridean sheep, 16 orchards…the list goes on…
Of course, I should not forget that he was supporting/cycling along team rickshaw 2013!
Now my eyes really struggle to read the posts due to DS’s new background and font colour grey. I don’t mind the new layout but font colour should be solid black, I mean, 3 basic colour red, green, and blue should be coded zero and the background should be pure white (when red, green, blue should be 255) or they should be able to develop the options that the users can choose text and font colour which I have seen on other forums before.
Have a good weekend everyone!
