BBC Farmwatch: The 91-year-old with a passion for Suffolk Punches
Tom Walne – or Farmer Tom, as he is more affectionately known – has only ever known one way of in Westerfield, near Ipswich, just before Christmas 1933, the 91-year-old grew up in a farming family and has spent close to a century immersed in agricultural a child, he remembers spending time in his pram while out in the open fields throughout the seasons, come rain or shine, summer or he was a toddler, labourers on his parents' farm would often wrap him up in the straw they were using for hedging so he could drift off to he tells BBC Suffolk for BBC Farmwatch: "It was a different life all together back then." Since then, Farmer Tom has become a respected and experienced farmer in his own right, known best perhaps for his dedication to the rare Suffolk Punch horse the years, he and his wife Sandy have bred just shy of 20 foals – one of which they proudly donated to Queen Elizabeth II in couple's commitment to preserving the breed has not gone unnoticed – not least given it is now classified as critically endangered by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST).While they can no longer afford to own them, all their horses have been prize-winners – something Sandy puts down to their upbringing."I know people say they are gentle giants but it's the way you bring them up that makes them gentle," she told the BBC."You have to put the love and the care in to get the end product. They all have different personalities but they really have a want to please you."You must be firm with them but also gentle because they are very sensitive. I am extremely proud of them." Tom first developed a passion for Suffolk Punches after being reminded of the love he had for the carting horses on his family's farm as a started to attend competitions with his friend's wife who was part of a team that showed the breed at events across the country."One thing led to another," he said, and before he knew it he was taking home a Suffolk Punch which faced being put to sleep."So that's how I got back into doing stuff with Suffolk horses. I got myself a working horse, a really steady old plodder," he added. 'I wouldn't want to be anywhere else' Tom and Sandy spoke to the BBC about their lives on the farm as part of the BBC's Farmwatch day – a 24-hour celebration of all things the struggles sometimes associated with farming, Sandy said she would not change a thing."I have had a very charmed and lucky life," she added."My life is happy."It's a sentiment echoed by Tom."I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," he said."I am an old man, but I am a lucky old man. And I am still above ground." Follow Suffolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Five cars reimagined in retro form by artificial intelligence
Advertisement Subtle one, this. BMC's original '59 Mini had an estate version, the Clubman, but it was a stretched two-door. The Countryman, technically a sub-compact crossover, didn't appear until 2010. So what would an Alec Issigonis-designed Countryman have looked like back in the early Sixties? Well, wonder no more – weird doors aside, you can see how good it might have looked. Images: @automotiveai Advertisement - Page continues below Here's where AI has to work hard – the Sixties were a time of innovation and Big News from the USA, with some exceptional designs. And yet Tesla as a corporate entity didn't even exist until 2003, and the Model 3 wasn't born until 2017. The AI decided that the Model 3 of the latter Sixties was still a compact executive car, but actually a two-door worthy of a poster. If only. You might like Another one that looks real. The Range Rover Sport appeared in 2005 as a mid-sized luxury SUV. The first Range Rover appeared in 1969, and was two-door only until '81, so an imagineered '74 RRS has ended up looking largely like a smaller Range Rover Classic with fat wheels and no rear doorhandles. Advertisement - Page continues below If someone distilled the Model T of 1908, boiled it down to the stylistic components and then rehydrated them for this year, this is what the result might look like. Although this seems to be a modern interpretation of a mid-Twenties pickup version of the Model T – sometimes called the Runabout – and the world's first pickup truck. The Cayenne caused controversy when it was launched in 2002 – an SUV from a maker of sports cars? The horror! And yet it largely bolstered the company's future against the slings and arrows of outrageous market forces. But the early Eighties saw an imaginary Cayenne that borrowed heavily from the 911's stylings, yet weirdly ended up with shades of a Seventies Honda Civic. Or is that just us? See more on Concept
