Great to be at @oxfordfarming conference again to start 2026. “Being Human in a Changing World” session making us reflect on our characters and how fixed we are in mindset and how change decisions impact us. Super to start the year reflecting and connecting.

@FarmstrongScot @AgriScot @TheRHET @The_RHASS @SAC_England This is great. Thinking Thursday is my favourite. But the @MNDoddie5 cycle in March is starting to feature in my thoughts too 🚲 ⛰️ 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🚲

At @AgriScot we asked people across the farming sector. What helps you feel good and function well? 💙 Their answers 👇 ⚽ Five-a-side 🐕 Dog walks 🚴‍♂️ Big charity cycles 🌬️ Fresh air 🧶 Crafting 🏃‍♀️ Running 📞 “Thinking Thursday” 🤝 Giving back

Great to have @FarmstrongScot kicking off the day at AgriScot. Reminding us all about the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. Great to hear from Catriona and Jack about what they do for wellbeing. Strong @SAYFC theme coming through from both.

'That is a goal worthy of taking a country to a World Cup' Our Sportscene team react to THAT McTominay goal 😍 #BBCFootball

A week of events in my new role, great to join the @tenantfarmers webinar on Tuesday and today’s @NFU Tenants Conference at the @3countiesshows Showground. Lots of positive discussion and plenty for the team to get started on.

Take a look and get along if you can. Great time of year to catch up with a few folk. Spread the word and mark the diary.

@georgewdunn @AlexiaCRobinson @No1FarmerJake Good to see you George. See you next week.

@AlexiaCRobinson @No1FarmerJake A truly excellent celebration. Very well done!

So many kind TYs from yesterday's National Harvest Service. I will reply to all, working through. This one speaks for many: "Everyone who attended, or knows someone who did, has said what a beautiful, special day it was. There was such a widespread feeling of togetherness."

Looks like this will be a great event. Mark the diary and make an effort to get along! Great timing.

What a cracking day

Having been involved in the initial idea germinating it’s great to see @FarmstrongScot going from strength to strength and having such a positive impact on the people in the sector - take a look and spread the word.

@jamierkennedy Gifford.

What’s the most UNDERRATED golf course in Scotland?

Poor Darcy Graham will be asking what he did wrong for his game time on ball to be missed in coverage.

@SkySports what’s happening with the Lions coverage ? Both on tv and SkyGo cutting g out for more than 70% of the game.

The Only reason we kept SkySports was for the Lions coverage as the remainder of the rugby offering has eroded so much. This isn’t much of an offering and is so disappointing

@EdinvaleFarm It’s been pouring down for the last couple of days 30m south west of you. Hope you’ve had it too.

The point at which water management becomes more important than our grass management (although grass management does affect water demand). Down to our last 3T of water. Getting around 2l a minute in. Demand could be 5T so might be down to our last 1T of water tonight? 😬

Premier Sports obviously haven’t been supporting Scottish sport for long - tempting fate with that tag ! Hope they keep the momentum going with them.
