Nick Rook-Blackstone runs Wylds Farm in Liss.

He says the increasingly hot and dry weather is killing off more and more of the young Christmas trees he grows on the farm.

Now he's responding to the changing climate through diversification and thinking about what future there might be for Christmas tree growing on the farm.

Nick is speaking to Shine Radio's Nieve Carson.

As homes across East Hampshire receive their food waste caddies, we speak to people in Petersfield about their approach to household waste management.

Nell, Katia, Ben and Maggie are young people with a variety of food waste experiences, from living with a chef to virtually oblivious about the whole thing.

Paula and Henry are visiting Petersfield and have some experience of welcoming a food waste caddy into their home. They talk about compostable bags and feeding the birds.

And Dougie Newbigging is fascinated by the new contraption. He says it's "brilliant".

They're speaking to Shine Radio's Stephen Martin outside Nero's in Petersfield town centre.

Another big week in the football as the the Men's sides take a break from league action and take up the respective tasks of progressing in their cup competitions.
