DESPITE Gloucestershire s historic cheese-rolling event being cancelled again this year, one man has made it his mission to uphold the tradition. Master of the Cheese Jem Wakeman took a 9lb Double Gloucester to the top of Cooper s Hill, near Brockworth, Gloucester as the sun rose this morning, Monday, before ceremonially rolling it to the bottom. He said: We will definitely be back next year, this can t go on. This year s roll was dedicated to local farmer David Hardwick, a great supporter of the event in previous years, who died after a farming accident last year. The cheese rolling event traditionally takes place on the second bank holiday in May and attracts thousands of spectators and rollers.

You re going to spend a lot of time in this bad boy, you d better pick the right one.
New year, time for a new mattress? Why not, when there are so many good deals going on at the moment? It’s quite a commitment, though isn’t it? You’re potentially shelling out thousands of dollars for something you’re going to spend the next seven to ten years laying on, eight (if you’re lucky) hours a night. It’s the one item in your home that can genuinely make or break you day. “Choosing a new mattress is not something that you often do and can be quite an intimidating,” says King Living’s head of products David Hardwick.
