Monty’s first golf competition. A really good fun round at Harpenden Golf Club Brilliantly organised cross country round with only one of the normal holes played conventionally. A really nice way for the two of us to spend some of New Years Day

It’s great to see people enjoying the countryside & I know who much it can help peoples mental & physical well-being at times like this but please do so responsibly & stay on the path itself not the crops. Remember at all times to stick to the countryside code. Enjoy responsibly

Sometimes it seems we miss the blindingly obvious in arguments. People need to stop cleansing their climate change consciences by blaming ruminant livestock whilst at the same time doing little or nothing themselves about the other massive contributors to the problem.

First of this year's Hot-Cross Buns available this morning. Martin is at the mill until 1pm and Lucy & Jeremy are at Kings Langley farmers' market. Bread, flour, oats, yeast and more all available.

On BBC Radio 4 Today earlier. "One type of food that will get you into trouble - ULTRAPROCESSED FOODS". They are focus group tested to be over consumed & our brains aren't designed handle these types of foods well. Simple solution - Everything in moderation & promote a balanced diet

If you’re coming for a walk through Hammonds End this weekend there’s plenty to look out for. Always nice to see people out enjoying the countryside some of us are lucky enough to live and work in.

What a lovely tweet. Complete and utter pleasure to be doing be lucky enough to do a job that can put a smile on someone’s face like this.

Great value for money at the barbers today

Not a bad place to live, work, raise a family, produce food, promote biodiversity and store carbon #BackBritishFarming

Just saw peas being harvested in East Yorkshire by the Green Pea Co. A co-operative of farmers growing and harvesting into Birdseye - they will be in a freezer bag tomorrow. The truly sustainable fast food!

My grandparents were amongst the lucky few to flee Nazi Germany. Sadly they're no longer around to ask whether vaccine passports was the final straw for them ...

Proud Mum

Remember the recently detained Yelena Osipova, who survived the siege of Leningrad? She's back in action, protesting publicly in St Petersburg "🇷🇺 soldier, drop your weapon - and you'll be a real hero!" Banners are painted by herself. Don't know about you, but we love her! 💙💛

An exciting day on the farm #RainwaterHarveating #IntergratedWaterManagement #SustainableFarming #BackBritishFarming

Monty on his way to his first music gig. Not sure his mate is looking too lively ahead of a big night in London

Art tells a story that will last forever. #War

Tonight we've unbelievably had reports of 'Floating sky lanterns' (also referred to as Chinese Lanterns) in the Earls Barton area. These pose a HUGE fire risk all year round but tonight, it is quite frankly reckless and endangering life, wildlife, crops & property. PLEASE STOP!

I've just seen an Affinity Water 🦆 van in my local supermarket, nice new livery featuring a nice little river, some nice ducks and some even nicer flowers. "Talking care of your water". Here's the reality of what "taking care of", looks like. Meet Hertfordshire's chalk streams.

Sometimes you read something and it makes you stop and think. This puts the current COP28 wording in context: “Since the climate negotiations began in 1992 more carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels has been released worldwide than in all preceding history”
