nuffieldscholar.org/sites/de… - a genuinely excellent @NuffieldFarming review of animal housing by Chris Harrap: the 👎🏼impact of modern (ugly) farm design on farmers & consumers, & how we might just get to a better, more integrated form of farming with animals and people. I love this.

Heard at our Cheshire AGM this morning: "A six pack full of beer is light enough to carry into my field, so why is it suddenly too heavy to carry to the bin when empty?" #KeepBritainTidy x.com/JohnGelson/status/1292…

Think about it ... then 🗑 it #KeepBritainTidy

I understand #RogerMoore is trending because Richard Moore has been appointed the new Head of MI6. Three thoughts. 1. Twitter CAN be wonderful, can’t it? 2. Congrats to Richard Moore 3. Any excuse to re-share this Roger Moore story by Marc Haynes has to be seized. So I seized it
