I took my 3 kids to the park today with my lovely wife. And it was bloody beautiful. The sun was shining, the flowers was starting to bloom. Kids and parents laughing and enjoying the sunshine. I walked past the local pub on the way back and the beer garden was heaving. You can’t beat the good old British countryside and the spirit of the people when the sun is out, there ain’t anywhere better in the world. Yes it may have its floors, but good old England is beauty. Don’t get sucked into the media to much with all the doom and gloom. The markets are still busy, the people are still working hard and spring is round the corner. Keep going and keep smiling and remember to look after your lovely little families. Good night, god bless and happy Sunday. Bosh❤️

Keir Starmer has suffered a major diplomatic blow after Donald Trump has publicly sided with @elonmusk. Fear not. It's not long now until Trump and Elon make Britain great again.

"I just don’t understand... if farming is such hard work with very little return, why farmers are so keen to continue farming?" My response... which is also why I believe this #FamilyFarmTax will have an impact on the whole country. New video @FlankFarm

This happened to us yesterday (Sunday) after just 40 minutes of rain. House unliveable, workshop, gym and car ruined. Uprooted trees upstream and blocked every culvert, nature is impressive. Never happened here in 200+ years. 2 hours earlier,were in paddling pool in heatwave. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks ⁦@Tesco⁩ Newtown Powys. Selling NZ lamb on a shelf stating that its local Welsh lamb. Misleading (again) consumers that do actually want to support Welsh farmers

Pig price still climbing. This goes back to ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ comments they are going to die anyway. His lack of leadership led to the 20% reduction of the industry. Now the public is paying for his foolishness

This cow has been with us for 7 years, she’s calved every year. She’s one of the quietest cows on the farm. This is why you should never trust any of them. Last night wasn’t a good one. Dani is ok, just bruised, but if she was lone working it could of been different. Hellish.
