Coastal Path; Rental Christmas Trees; Brassicas

Five million pounds has been committed to complete the coastal path around England, ten years ahead of time. The news is welcomed by ramblers but not by some farmers.

Five million pounds has been committed by the government to complete the coastal path around England, ten years ahead of time. It's been welcomed by Ramblers, but the National Farmers Union says it'll cause problems for coastal farmers, and the money would be better spent upgrading existing paths.
Ruth Sanderson has been to a nursery in Gloucestershire which rents out living Christmas trees as an alternative to cutting trees which then end up being thrown out.
And all this week we're looking at brassicas - the family of veg that includes broccoli, cabbage, and of course, Brussels sprouts.
The presenter is Anna Hill.
