Easton and Otley College's countryside management stand isn't ideal for those who suffer from vertigo....
It does bring to mind a certain Monty Python song though...

Now, when you think about a shepherd's hut... you might think about something quite rustic, quite traditional....
Turns out the interior is a bit more swish than you might expect....
Yes there is a shower room hidden behind that door. And did I mention the log-burner?
I'm not sure that's quite how it was for shepherds back in the day...

Elizabeth Steel will meet the school's headteacher today - and Damon said he wants to keep his short haircut, receive an apology from the school and go back into "normal education".

A teenager from Wisbech says he has been punished by his school for having his hair cut too short.
Damon Steel, 15, cropped his hair during the hot weather - but on arrival at Marshland High in West Walton was told he must study in "isolation" until it grows back.
The army cadet said the barber gave him a number three on the top and a zero at the sides.
He said he had no idea there was a rule about having hair too short and claims some boys at his school have "hair to their shoulders" so he assumed he would be ok.
Marshland High has told the BBC it doesn't wish to comment about the case.

I'm at the Royal Norfolk Show today - and can report that while I've brought my wellies, the mud isn't too bad today and the rain is keeping off.

And how about this for a bit of technology - an activity tracker for cows.
Created by Smartbell in Cambridge, the trackers are designed to detect any change in the animal's behaviour, which could be a sign of distress.
Veena Adityan (below) founded the company and told me the trackers collect data constantly.
She said: "For example, if an animal is not walking properly an alert will be raised and the owner can then go and check on the hooves and take action."

A simple model demonstrates how small changes in farming techniques can dramatically reduce run off of nutrients and pesticides from fields into rivers.
Steve Dugdale (above right) from the University of East Anglia told me how it works.
"We've got a margin with a buffer strip which helps to prevent run-off, we've got hedgerows - and the plough lines generally go away from the stream," he said.

The innovation hub has been organised by Agri-Tech East, which brings together farmers and growers with scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs.
The ideas on show include this one from Essex University - which is improving crop yields by seeing which ones make best use of sunlight...
Cambridge's Innovation Hub showcased a system by which extracts pigment from damaged plants like strawberries or red onions which can't be harvested.
The pigment can then be used in cosmetics and food colouring - leading to less waste...

The show's innovation hub has been buzzing, as farmers find out how technology could transform the sector in the future.
They include Norfolk farmer Chris Eglington who has developed a drone (below) which can be programmed to fly over crops and spray only where it's needed - saving time and money.
But he faces a problem - he's not legally allowed to to so.
He told me he's working with the Civilian Aviation Authority to try to get permission.
"We're hoping to be the first company allowed to use these on a trial basis," he said.
Mr Eglington (below) discussed the situation with environment secretary Michael Gove who was "very interested".
"Let's hope he'll do something - he's got the power - let's keep our fingers crossed," he said.

It's back to school for pupils at a junior school who had an unexpected day off yesterday because thieves stole lead from its Victorian roof.
Staff and parents spent the day mopping up extensive flooding at Wensum Junior School in Norwich.
The school's electrics were also made safe.
Headteacher Victoria McConnell says now they know the school's vulnerable to lead theft, measures will be taken to protect it.

A family who witnessed two people being run over by a truck in a Norwich park as they lay on the grass sunbathing say the pair are recovering.
Image source, GoogleGareth Chandler, 29, from Hethersett, was with his wife and their two young children in Earlham Park on Sunday 18 June when they saw a littler truck run over the young couple.
Mr Chandler says he's been in touch with the the young man who is now recovering at home but the woman has more serious injuries and remains in hospital.
An investigation into the incident is under way.
Mr Chandler says it's changed the way he thinks about safety in public spaces.
"It was just a nice evening in the sun. It's definitely made us as a family think that you've really got to be aware of your surroundings because you never know what can occur," he said.
Norse Environmental, which owns the litter truck, says it's helping police and the Health and Safety Executive with their inquiries.

The drummer with Essex Brit Pop band Blur (pictured) has expressed concern that a school has decided to cut music from the curriculum for 11-to-13-year-olds.
Image source, Getty ImagesGordon Farquhar, headteacher of the Joyce Frankland Academy in Newport, near Saffron Walden, said yesterday he had made the decision to balance the school budget.
Blur drummer Dave Rowntree (pictured below), who is now a Labour Norfolk County councillor, said music should not be seen as "an optional extra" in schools.
Image source, Getty Images"I personally think one of the reasons the UK is so rich and diverse in the arts and music is because these subjects are taught in schools.
"Every child should have the opportunity to learn musical instruments."
Mr Rowntree, who has played in Blur since its formation in 1988, added: "The arts in schools are vital and you tinker with them at your peril."
