Does anyone know the provenance of this little gem which popped up in my Co-op today? Not @RedTractorFood so can't be guaranteed to be British. Totally confusing labelling not quite categorically saying produced from British milk...🤔
So bloody bloody proud of Scotland and their play today, whatever happens in the last 15 mins. #SCOvENG
I dunno....these look like a load of ball bearings. Maybe they're borrowing ideas from Home Alone?

One of the most common-sense, thoughtful, balanced articles I've seen in these turbulent times. You might not agree with it all, or even most of it, but it's worth a read. (And yes, @MargaretAtwood is most definitely not American...). thetimes.com/article/cfca72e…
I'm going where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone...

The Forth Rail Bridge putting on an extraordinary - and rarely seen - display this morning. A thrilling rush of sea, sunlight and steel. Pure wow. 🚂🌁 @TheForthBridges #ForthBridges #VisitScotland
DYK we've 11k job vacancies in UK food & farming RIGHT NOW – roles we're struggling to fill every single day?
2/3 of ag & hort businesses say it’s taking longer to recruit, costing £52m/yr in fees & relief staff. Lack of labour also risks damage to physical & mental health. 1/3
Sad truth is many don't want to work in our amazing industry: they think it's not for them – or people LIKE them. But with ~1/3 of all UK kids today people of colour, & 10% of yng adults lesbian, gay or bisexual / 12% with a disability, what if we could access their talents? 2/3
AgDiversity, launched this week, seeks to help people in our industry understand & communicate with diverse groups, so UK farming can be a place where more people feel they belong and have a future. Curious to know more? Visit nuffieldscholar.org/agdivers… 3/3

Landrover Defender 90 TDI. 1997. Stolen last night from the farm. Distinctive colour and branding. Much loved. We would like it back please. Please share.

Just met a (brilliant) female friend who showed me a professional document and asked me my opinion on it, before she submitted it. I noticed there was a typo in “mansplaining”. Wasn’t quite sure what to do.

We really want farmers to let us know how BTV3 is affecting them - please do share this survey link widely- especially important if you know anyone suffering - we need facts to ensure appropriate support...
UK Farmers are urged to complete an anonymous BTV-3 survey to understand the impact of bluetongue– this survey will help shape decisions about how the industry can support farmers going forwards.

My favourite ever Maggie Smith scene, from California Suite. When I first saw it on TV aged 14, I decided eating eggs benedict must be the pinnacle of sophistication. youtu.be/D7v2QJ_7nX8
Anyone out there know how the @UKGCA works? I understood they could only tackle immediate supplier/retailer relationships, but this change in legislation suggests they can go back to farm/buyer level. Does this set a precedent for other farm producers? From this week's @TheGrocer
Does this guy realise UK children are shorter, more undernourished in vital nutrients such as calcium, foliate, zinc & iron, & can expect fewer years of good health than those born a decade earlier? Veganism is not the solution for children. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crej…
You left our conversation so early @ElMystico! Research suggests vegan diets *can* be OK for kids as long as they're planned. Does a poverty situation sound conducive to this? Makes it even more important kids get at least one highly nutritious meal a day. doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n2792
