Catherine Huckerby goes wild food foraging and feasting in West Cornwall


Many people are happy to pick blackberries in the countryside but the thought of foraging for food may seem a bit strange, especially to us city folk. Always open to new experiences, we booked ourselves onto a wild foraging, cooking and feasting course (the latter element seeming much more inviting). Caroline Davey runs courses in West Cornwall where people from all walks of life learn the ancient art of wild food foraging, and how to cook what you find.

Catherine Huckerby enjoys the Art Deco elegance of Burgh Island Hotel, favoured getaway of Agatha Christie


Most people have read an Agatha Christie book or at least heard of the famous author, but there’s something rather special about visiting a private island and staying at the infamous Burgh Island Hotel in South Devon, where she was inspired to write two books (Evil Under The Sun, and And Then There Were None).

Catherine Huckerby gets hooked on Cornwall


He wanted to go on a fishing trip to Cornwall. I couldn’t think of anything less romantic! But wait, there had to be some pretty nice hotels in Cornwall.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
