Have a lovely Saturday!
Good morning everyone,
Yet another gorgeous autumn day here in The Netherlands!
Not a good day for gardening programmes from the web though.
First a TV alert.
In case you didn't know it yet, autumnwatch is back tomorrow at 21.00 on BBC TWO.
Only 4 episodes though.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06nswcj
I also found a Welsh programme about the countryside.
A bit like a Welsh version of Countryfile.
It does have English subtitles available though, and several older episodes too.
http://www.s4c.cymru/clic/e_level2.shtml?programme_id=524119105
ARTE has a programe about wood, which seems to be more and more in demand as a raw material and as fuel.

French version here...
http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/046324-009/xenius?autoplay=1

http://www.swr.de/kaffee-oder-tee/garten/kraeuterpflege-an-der-kraeuterspirale/-/id=2244146/did=16393954/nid=2244146/44i48k/index.html

I'm sure tomorrow's harvest will be quite a bit better.
Have a lovely Sunday!

And Servus TV has a long programmme about Prince Charles, and his views on the environment.
Almost certainly a programme which aired on a British channel a few years ago, and on Servus wit the usual, annoying German voice-overs.
http://www.servustv.com/de/Medien/Harmonie-Eine-neue-Sicht-unserer-Welt
Have a great day!
