A big thank you from us and all the local farmers to West Oxfordshire District Council for letting us have a proper car park at The Farmer’s Dog. Let’s hope this marks the start of a new and more cordial relationship. #backbritishfarming

One storm. One fallen tree. One field in the Lake District. ✏️ The entire global pencil industry. There is a field in the Lake District. Nothing remarkable about it. Fell sheep, grey sky, Cumbrian rain. Until one day a storm came through. It uprooted a tree and underneath the roots was something nobody had ever seen before. A black substance. Soft, dark, left a mark on everything it touched. The shepherds didn't know what it was, but they used it to mark their sheep. That was 1565. It was the purest deposit of graphite ever found on earth. The only one like it. Ever. 🌍 Word spread fast. The Crown seized the mine, put armed guards on the fell and flooded it between diggings to keep the price high. Stealing graphite became a criminal offence. Punishable by transportation to Australia. Because this wasn't just for marking sheep. It was perfect for lining cannonball moulds. It made England's cannonballs rounder. Faster. More deadly. ⚔️ England had a pencil monopoly for nearly a century. Every artist, every cartographer, every engineer in Europe. All of them wanted what was in that one Cumbrian field. Slowly, workshops appeared in nearby Keswick. Cottage industries. Families cutting graphite into sticks. Wrapping them in string. Then sheepskin. Then wood. The pencil was born. ✏️ In a Cumbrian field. Because a storm uprooted a tree. There is still a pencil factory in Keswick today. On the same site it has always been. Did you know that? These islands have thousands of stories the world has forgotten. We find them. We tell them. We put them in front of millions. You help us make that possible. Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 proudofus.co.uk

In my interviews for @alva_uk over the last few days I’ve been asking @GOVUK to support our sector by reducing VAT on attractions and hospitality, review and reduce business rates, reintroduce tax-free shopping for overseas visitors, and finalise their draft tourism strategy.

As well as being International Day of Happiness today and the end of #EnglishTourismWeek26 it’s my birthday this weekend. I’ve just popped to the @alva_uk office to pick up post and these formidable slippers from the superb @TankMuseum were waiting for me. I now feel invincible.
