Caring for Creation
To mark the harvest season, Aled Jones is in East Anglia to find out what the annual celebration means to local Christians and to talk about the importance of caring for creation. He finds out all about ‘wool churches' at Holy Trinity in Long Melford, and learns about the links between Christianity and agriculture.
Parishioner Sally McDonald tells Aled about the fundraising drive she pioneered to have the magnificent stained-glass windows in the church restored. Laura Wright talks to Christian farmer John Pawsey, who, after four generations of traditional farming, decided to make his family business organic; and Aled visits Christian-run nature reserve Foxearth Meadows to hear about the transformative power of God's creation.
In this time of celebration of feast and bounty, we also reflect on those who are struggling: Charlotte Webb tells her story of overcoming hardship and finding faith through Christian organisation Lightwave. Having come to Lightwave for help with food, Charlotte found trust and support and was able to build a relationship with Jesus, turning her life around for the better.
We have hymns and music from Holy Trinity Church in Long Melford, The Priory in Hertfordshire and Nettwood Farm in the Mendip Hills.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
