It is growing dark as Daniel and I walk along the path. "I would be afraid to be out at this time in London," he says. "I would be frightened of being attacked." I am spending the day with 16-year-old Daniel and six other pupils from Burlington Danes School on a farm in Bath.

Many speak of how the diet has changed their mood and others of how much they like feeding the animals.

It is, of course, not a  _ -- a troubled child will still be a troubled child -- but Feilden says it still worthwhile. "If all we achieve is to show them the beauty of the countryside, then I think we've achieved a lot." According to Feilden's mother, the children didn't cause any trouble while staying in the farm because   _  .
