Craft was something of a thorn in the side of the HFEA, speaking out against restricting the number of embryos implanted (to reduce the risk of multiple births), about time limits on the storage of frozen embryos, and about age limits on treatment. Craft, who has died aged 81, was an innovative surgeon who achieved a number of firsts. His clinics saw the first successful birth of IVF twins in Europe in 1982, and Britain’s first triplets in 1984; he oversaw the first birth through transferring eggs and sperm to the uterus (1982), and later the first in Britain using gamete intrafallopian transfer, or GIFT (1986).

BBC One - The Hill Farm - Gareth Wyn Jones

The book is full of interesting anecdotes, some of them laugh out loud about farming life and the farm called Ty’n Llwyfan, in the Carneddau mountain range, Snowdonia where the author and his family have farmed for over 350 years. Gareth is a quite a reluctant celebrity who cares passionately about his family, the rural way of living, and farming. Some people choose not to eat meat, and they’re called vegetarians. And some people don’t eat anything that comes This gaucheness may sound like a pose, but Williams made it real and palpable in what is probably his best-known work, Walk a Mile in My Shoes (2006), in which visitors were invited to try on a pair of his size 13 shoes and slop helplessly about the gallery. Clogs, felt slippers, battered old brogues – one suddenly understood his embarrassing problems with podiatry, and the narrow range of available footwear. Each pair had a droll label attached: "These are the sandals I might wear to renovate my holiday home in France. The locals would be right to hate me."The same year he moved to the Cromwell hospital and set up a dedicated assisted conception facility before transferring to the private sector in 1985, establishing fertility treatment at the Wellington hospital. For the final 20 years of his career he operated his own private clinic in Harley Street, the London Fertility Centre; he also helped to establish the Dubai Gynaecology and Fertility Centre. Thérèse Coffey, the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, said: “Farmers are at the heart of our economy – producing the food on our tables as well as being the custodians of the land it comes from. These two roles go hand-in-hand and we are speeding up the rollout of our farming schemes so that everyone can be financially supported as they protect the planet while producing food more sustainably.” There are different pools for each stage of the fish’s life. When they’re big enough, they’re put in the larger pools His was one of very few clinics to offer treatment with donor eggs to post-menopausal women, arguing that as long as they were fit and healthy there was no reason why they should not become mothers. They included Liz Buttle, the hill farmer from Wales who in 1997 gave birth to a son at 60 (though she had claimed to be 49 when she approached Craft). There was no subterfuge in the case of Lynn Bezant, who was 56 when she gave birth to twins in 2001 after treatment with donor eggs. This book is the English language version of The Hill Farmer, by the charismatic and popular Gareth Wyn Jones, the Welsh farmer from Llanfairfechan North Wales. Gareth first came to prominence on our TV screens during the severe weather in March 2013 when film maker Matthew Knight followed him around his hill farm while he rescued sheep and lambs buried in snow drifts and the footage was shown on national news channels.

As well as agriculture, there is also aquaculture , where fish, seafood and aquatic plants are farmed. A teacher encouraged him to pursue a career in medicine and he underwent his initial training at Westminster medical school. He opted to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology: he always claimed to be driven by a desire to make people happy, and saw helping women to give birth as the best means of doing so. Another type of animal that gets reared to be eaten is not one you usually think of when you think of farming, but it’s eaten a Dairy cows are kept to make milk. But some cows, like these, are reared for meat. There are sheep here too, which are reared from lambs to be eaten, like the cows. Some sheep are reared for their wool too, which is used to make clothes.Since then Gareth has had two TV series of his own 'The Hill Farmer' and 'The Farmer and the Food chain' and appeared in countless other programmes including 'Come Dine with Me' and Snowdonia 1890. Agriculture means farming, and it’s one of our most important industries, because farming involves rearing animals and growing crops for our food. These were simple one-roomed homes with a pointed thatched roof and walls made from wattle and daub (a mixture of mud and twigs).

People in Iron Age Britain believed in powerful spirits . They met to worship the spirits in sacred places, like the shores of a lake or a clearing in a wood.

The uneasy feeling of entering a bunker is exacerbated by the real lamppost crashing through the awning inside, ripping up the floor as it falls, to the sound of distant gunfire. Or rather, the onomatopoeic words for gunfire from different countries round the world enunciated by Williams. These are so unalike – our British bang becomes an Austrian prap – as to render the whole subject properly absurd; one shouldn't be listening (or laughing) quite so hard. Garrulous, optimistic and boundlessly enthusiastic, he was hands-on in his approach, meeting couples and implanting embryos as one of the centre’s clinical team. In 2000 he fulfilled a long-held wish to become a country gentleman, buying a 125-acre estate with a Georgian mansion and working farm in north Devon, which he set about restoring with his customary energy while still directing the centre. The early days of assisted reproduction were fraught with controversy, as media commentators and religious figures denigrated its practitioners for playing God or interfering with nature. During the Iron Age, the Celtic people spread out across Europe and many settled in Britain. The ancient Britons followed a Celtic way of life . They enjoyed feasting, music and poetry . There are fish farms across the UK, but this isn't agriculture, it's called aquaculture, because the fish live and grow in the
