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

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

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

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. @homebrewhops

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...

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.

Venturing back on to Twitter...

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

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. https://t.co/Fz4W2HdYTt

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.

I've a real problem with anaerobic digestion being presented as 'environmentally damaging', even by comparison. Casual references like this damage perfectly sound technologies. "Tesco vows to ‘revolutionise’ food waste battle with new animal feed facility"

This marketing video for the Royal Armouries in Leeds has made my day. 😂

Hey @dadyo32, I'm at @SeaTacAirport and ...is that you...?! We also need to have a word about that cow's genetics....🤔

One for @MickPuck ...

“You’re close sweetie,” Gov. Walz told a baby cow struggling to find a bottle during a stop by Maple Bottom Farm in Dawson, Pennsylvania. “I don’t want to make you work so hard. There you go, there you go, I was making you work too hard.”
