Sister Rachel Denton has vowed to spend the rest of her life living as a consecrated hermit in the Catholic faith. A hermit is a person who chooses to live alone, with the intention of finding God. Rarely leaving her house she lives a life of prayer and solitude. However, she uses the internet and social media to share her experience and distance her self from physically interacting with society. REUTERS/Neil Hall

PIC BY GEOFF ROBINSON PHOTOGRAPHY 07976 880732. Picture shows a girl relaxing on a punt on the River Cam in Cambridge.It was announced today that new safety measures are to be put in place and people will no longer be able to put their feet over the side of the boat. PUNT chauffeurs on the River Cam in Cambridge must now give passengers an airline style SAFETY briefing - even though the punts travel at just TWO MILES an hour. Tourists are complaining that new stringent "over-the-top" punting guidelines have "ruined" the relaxing pastime and become a "health and safety" nightmare. Under the new code of practice, approved by the Conservators of the River Cam today (Tues), visitors can no longer lounge in a punt, but must keep their arms and legs inside at all times. They are not allowed to listen to loud music whilst punting and must be at least 14 before taking control of the vessel. Five big health and safety stickers will also be placed in punts to make sure people keep to the right of the river and do not overcrowd the boats. "I love punting with my family, but these over-the-top health and safety rules have ruined it," said Peter Williams, from Cambridge. SEE COPY CATCHLINE PUNTS "airline" SAFETY briefing
