It’s lambing time, you’re grumpy and tired, and you need a rant. I chose national tv. #instagram

Ashamed to say I have only just started listening to @ThePasturePod and maybe the time isn’t quite right as I am piling expensive grass into my silage pit 😅

Sure sex is great and everything but have you ever gotten a call that your cows are out and you show up and they aren't yours.

Although I’m not an SNP supporter, it was great to have the chance to speak to Tom and share our views and the challenges we face as an industry 🐮

No matter how long you’ve been farming is there anything you just can’t deal with? For me it’s ewe vaginal prolapses..

After moving out nearly a year ago, it’s time to go back home for calving and lambing. Wish me luck....😅

The more we use the language of “catch up”, the more we normalise the idea this is a thing that is even possible. This is the language of anxious adults. It isn’t about children, it isn’t about GIRFEC & it isn’t in line w/ the UNCRC. @margl43 @Dr_Pam_Jarvis @UpstartScot

The school week should be extended by eight hours in a £130m rescue plan to make up for lost lessons during lockdown according to a leading Scottish education expert. Do we need longer school hours to help kids catch up? #Mornings with @kayeadams - 9am - bbc.co.uk/radioscotland

Really hoping to recruit more female #farmers for our #atv #quad bike safety and helmet wearing survey. If you are a UK or Irish farmer and would like to help out it would really be appreciated (hopefully you ride on better terrain than that pictured!): viis.abdn.ac.uk/snapwebhost/…

.@bookshop_org_UK has brought 130 independent bookshops together to build a website to rival Amazon. It’s like Etsy for indies as each will have a shopfront & is the perfect way to support smaller bookshops when we can’t visit them in person: google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.thegu…
