Guest editor Dr JC Niala picks Welsh migration, rare wheat & guerilla gardeners.

Sophie's first guest editor is Dr JC Niala, Head of Research, Teaching & Collections at the History of Science Museum

Hear about the massive Welsh migration to Oxfordshire when the mines closed, including those who worked at the mini plant, then cycled back to Wales for the weekend!

Plus, hear how a rare type of wheat is being grown in Oxfordshire for the first time in hundreds of years - after being found in an old thatched roof.

And, how some residents are illegaly beautifying their corner of Oxfordshire... by guerilla gardening!
