Some Sunday wholesomeness ❤️

Some early considerations from my Nuffield Farming research, trying to understand how we build better public discourse around agriculture.

🏃‍♀️ If anything is going to motivate me for a run, it’s living next to this gorgeous beach.

Finally feeling a bit more settled and enjoying my new apartment for a few months 😁!

Is this an Oz / NZ tradition 😂😅 Adam Coffey and Jones, Julia what are you both like 😂!

Simply awesome to meet up with Farmstrong Scotland favourite Marc Gascoigne and see his amazing farm, talk wellbeing and generally just catch up. Also now a very proud owner of a Gazmeister T-shirt!

This is my worry. Farming's 'ask' should be simple, fair & compelling. If we want the public to support farming, we need to reflect societal concerns. Trade equivalency is a good 'ask'. If the message starts getting reported as climate denial/intransigence, we've lost.

Causing mischief in the mountains - memories from the 23rd of March 2023.

One of the most pinch me moments of my life and it was a total surprise 🥰🇳🇿!

Very excited to listen back to this 👇 Sounded like an amazing event!

Cracking night Holyrood Sources recognition of 25 years of devolution. Brilliant insights from people at the sharp end of creating Parliament. Recognition of many who were instrumental. Great format and thoroughly challenging to look at what’s gone before and still to come 👏🏻

Busy morning with the Belties!

❤️A sequence of happiness ❤️

Reunited with one of my best friends, after not 3 months apart, but 8!!!

I’ve been on the road a lot since August, so seeing Helen last night was such a tonic 🥰.

Can you guess where I am 🧐???

I’ve had a wonderful time in Tasmania with Joana - a fellow Nuffield Farming scholar I met in Canada last year.

She works in the salmon industry & is involved in the ESG side, with a key focus / passion for working with local communities & having a boots on the ground presence.
