'Belching cows and sheep could be given supplements to reduce the methane they emit' say scientists apparently (today's Times).

Apparently they are thought to be responsible for 25% of methane emissions, and this is turn is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse grass.

I have just bought the Noisy Bottoms book online from Mothercare where it is half price.

But it is worth going on to the Usborne website just for the "listen to a clip" facility. It has been most effective in helping me to clear my chest as it made me laugh so much. My little GC will love it!

Indeed there is Aka but it is shrinking (slowly) for the first time in 30 years although I don't think there has been any reduction in the number of dairy farms.
