War, drought, staff shortages: why the price of milk has soared in the UK theguardian.com/business/2023/…

More cows was the traditional answer, but with labour shortages, slurry investment needed, interest rate rises, high kit prices, high input costs……. UK farming is not going to be milking more cows anytime soon. Do UK milk buyers realise this? 🐄🥛🤷🏼‍♂️

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

I stand in solidarity with @ForWomenScot and all women protesting and speaking outside the Scottish parliament. #NoToSelfID

This is beautifully put.

Sheep, dairy sunrises and dahlia Wednesdays! #summer #sunrise #dairy #dahlia #britishflowers

Beauty heading into the end of the week!

@Alice_Swift00 Yes I did! We grow peonies and dahlias for cut flower!!! They have been amazing, a strong contrast to cows 😂

@alexevejack Wow Alex did you grow those?! Amazing!!👏🏽💫

All departments go today 💪🏻🐄🐑🌸🚜

It’s the dahlias turn… 👀

June saw us complete our first peony harvest on farm!! Exciting times!!

🐄Warm fuzzy feeling inside when u turn up on farm with a group on study tour & @BakersofHP is flying the #KiteFamily flag for you 😊 #LoveMyJob #LovePeopleWhoLoveCows #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork @jossinhawes @milkmoneymakerr @alexevejack @Beckside_Farm @CallumJamieson1 @Olibazza

Hell of a view from the farmhouse at the unit I’ve been on in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this week. Every single interviewee (like me) was blown away, not only with the view but with what a great team @alexevejack has on farm #LoveCows #PeoplePlanetProfit

@MetRyan96 Any ideas on what the very end of July will look like for Scotland?

Morning all ☀️

@ScotWedAlliance So a group of 15 then a metre apart another group of 15?

So no move to the 16th July. Updated guidance - Disappointed for couples marrying the weekend prior!!

People are fed up with the uncertainty and the SNP’s mixed messages. Today, Nicola Sturgeon must commit to moving the country to Level Zero next week and set out a clear timetable for exiting restrictions. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…

@NicolaSturgeon tomorrow we are trusting you that you will move us to level 0 and allow us to move forward with life events! @ScotWedAlliance and couples up and down Scotland need you to come through! Let us have some joy, show us the same respect as you did sport, please.

The SNP cannot stall Scotland’s progress because of their own failures to tackle rising Covid cases. We have to keep moving forward and that means moving to Level Zero next week.

@MetRyan96 So what does this mean?

No idea what the GFS was smoking yesterday, completely blindsided to the signals. Nonsense chart for the 20th and beyond!

@MetRyan96 I meant o also ask for Scotland? 😂🤞

@alexevejack I am hopeful yes, will update soon 🙂

An improving picture with high pressure increasingly influential as we head towards mid month, through next week, as per forecast. Drier, warmer, sunnier as we go into the 2nd half of July 🙂 #UKweather
