Over 1402 harbour porpoises, 139 common dolphins, 1 hump-backed whale and 17 Risso's dolphins are just some of the cetaceans that have washed up on our Welsh shores over the last 20 years.

Thick, rich and golden, clotted cream is probably the best-known delicacy of Devon and Cornwall but one Pembrokeshire dairy farmer is now proving the process isn't exclusive to the West Country.

Across the UK between April 2009 and March 2010, the number of reported major injuries, such as broken bones or amputations, rose to 640, up from 599 the previous year. In addition, deaths in agriculture rose to 38.
