A HIGH-FLYING lawyer will indulge his passion for farming at Monday's Northumberland County Show. John Pennie, pictured, head of the insolvency and corporate recovery group at Newcastle-based law firm Dickinson Dees, keeps Northumberland Longhorns - a particularly rare breed of cattle.
He will be taking four of his six Longhorns to the show - a cow aged 10, a heifer aged two and two bulls both 16 months.
MATT Wells will be reunited with double sculls partner Stephen Rowbotham at this season's opening rowing world cup.
The Hexham rower's campaign has been disrupted by injury but he will be back on the water in Munich next month.
The pair - bronze medallists at the 2006 World Championships and fourth in 2007 - are medal hopes for this summer's Olympics in Beijing. Durham's Jess Eddie has retained her place in the women's eight.
