I had a go at improving it.

Tell me you visited Wroxham without telling me you visited Wroxham…

@BarryL_Insights Even if it did (it doesn’t) why would the NHS be commenting on anything but the impacts to health? I don’t understand its desire to talk about society effects? That seems to me to be completely outside its remit.

It really doesn’t… First-cousin marriages has ‘benefits’, says NHS guidance despite birth defect risk apple.news/AXYTPa4U4TvW-2…

It’s been more years than I remember since I filmed welding. I still love it!

@Turi__King @audible_com Well done 👏

Super proud of this! Still top 10 on @audible_com! It follows two families brought together by an unexpected discovery that changes everything they thought they knew about their father and takes into the stories of the Home Children. Listen now on Audible: adbl.co/orphansmith

@BarryL_Insights It’s looking great 👍

We’re entering that phase of summer where the bounties of our productive countryside are becoming obvious. Fruits hang heavy on branch and cane. For a wine and cider producer like ourselves we’re especially pleased and grateful to see the burgeoning fruits of our labour. Harvest 2025 will hopefully be one to be especially excited about, which is great because last year wasn’t!

In all their years of trying, @Dyson hasn’t made a single hand dryer fit for purpose. They are extremely loud and extremely useless. I wish organisations would stop buying them! Bring back @WorldDryerCorp hand dryers in the UK. Hands down the all time champ.

@Quadro_News I don’t like riddles. I follow a rumour account who decides to play games on the rumours they find rather than just sharing what they have. I don’t know if it’s worth it for you and whatever engagement farming benefits you get but for me I’m just going to unfollow you.

👉We love riddles, don't we?😉 I wonder how quickly you'll guess.

@BarryL_Insights Agreed 👍

For what it’s worth, I believe America did the right thing in bombing Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. I’m no fan of Trump - far from it - but for a moment I feared he’d capitulate to yet another round of Iranian stalling, backed by the indecision and hot air of the global political jelly elite. Iran has long signalled its nuclear ambitions. They’ve openly enriched uranium to near-weapons-grade levels and crossed every red line. What more did the world need? While the EU, our Prime Minister, and others wrung their hands, it took U.S. B-2 bombers armed with bunker busters striking three Iranian nuclear sites to deliver a decisive blow - alongside Israel’s ongoing campaign. Iran is a pariah state. Its involvement in the October 7 attacks may not be operationally proven, but its deep and sustained support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and others is well established. So too are the global concerns about Iranian-linked terrorist activity - even here in the UK. Today, Parliament is likely to proscribe a protest group that has breached security at a RAF base - sites now being treated more like leaky colanders than secure national infrastructure. That should have happened long ago. Rather than echoing António Guterres’ warnings of “destabilisation,” the world should stand firm against Iran’s threats of retaliation. The problem is, in today’s global politics, strength and clarity are scarce commodities. The grown-ups are no longer in charge.

@BarryL_Insights Beautiful photos. It looks idyllic.

It’s shaping up to be a memorable summer so far. Our Midsummer Night Orchard Market was a huge success and the weather was a picture perfect summer’s evening…

There are a lot of dead fish on the Tame Valley canal today at it's junction with the Walsall canal in the West Midlands.

@BarryL_Insights Fantastic news. Congratulations 🥂

Proud to share a milestone for Amber Valley Wines and the Midlands wine scene. We’re delighted to announce that two of our 2023 wines have won international medals at the prestigious International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2025, one of the most rigorous and respected global wine competitions. •Elsa Pink 2023 – our dry rosé made from Pinot Noir Précoce, Phoenix and Rondo – was awarded a Silver Medal and 90 points, making it one of the top-scoring still rosés from England this year. •Amara 2023 – our light and juicy Pinot Noir Précoce red – was awarded a Bronze Medal, recognised for its elegance, fruit character and balance. No English still rosé received a Gold Medal this year, placing Elsa Pink firmly among the very best. It now stands alongside 90-point still rosés from iconic wine regions like Provence and northern Italy – a huge result for our small Derbyshire-based operation. This recognition is a boost not only for our vineyard, but for the broader movement to put Midlands-grown, sustainable English wines on the map. This win, and prior ones for our estate grown wines reflects the potential of sites like ours in Derbyshire to produce wines of genuine international quality. We’re especially proud because these wines reflect our values: •Sustainable, low-intervention winemaking •Partnerships with skilled UK producers (thank you Jack & the team at Three Choirs!) •And a commitment to quality, provenance and place. These results reaffirm that the future of English wine isn’t limited to the South - it’s growing in the heart of the country, too. And a final thing I should add is we’ve been making Elsa Pink since 2018, and it’s named after our daughter (her middle name), and is a wine we’ve always been especially proud of, like our daughter, because every vintage of it has been amazing and won several awards over the years. Amara is named after our great-niece. Both wines are available from our vineyard shop in Wessington and online here: ambervalleyvineyards.co.uk/store/English-…
