The Wildlife Trust are seeking to raise £50,000 to buy an amazing piece of land almost right next to my house.

Brockholes Quarry is right next to the four lane (or 8 lane depending on how you count it) section of the M6 at Preston and is pretty much encircled by the River Ribble.

It’s difficult to get access at present, but the variety of wildlife looks to be terrific, it would make a fabulous place for a wildlife reserve.

They only have 4 weeks to do it though (or at least they did when they started).

Starting on 6th September at 21:00 BBC 2 is running a three part series challenging a group of 12 teenagers to stay celibate for five months.

In No Sex Please, We’re Teenagers, two Christian youth workers tried to get participants to swap “casual sex for old-fashioned courting rituals”.

They said the young people would be happier if they were in long-term, serious relationships.

“This is not a reality show in the Big Brother sense,” a BBC spokeswoman said. “It is a three-part observational documentary series.”

The teenagers, aged between 15 and 17 and from Harrow, north-west London, attended weekly “Romance Academy” sessions with the youth workers.
