It wasn't. May 1976 was very wet and so was the first half of June in West of Scotland. Silage making was difficult but the weather came good in time for hay. We made 110 acres of hay in 12 days non stop in early July , baling every day from day 5 to day 12. The last field...

Dear me , The Ukrainian people voted for a new government in 2014 , dumping the Moscow puppet. Putin is a bogey man because he slaughters journalists and any opposition. The BBC is reporting facts from the Met Office.

I'm not sure that grain actually tripled, my memory was that barley went from £30 a ton in spring to £70 by September , but I was a little less involved back then with the economics of the job , as I was. aged 17. Proteins got very expensive , hence the...

I was concerned about this , and had a trial run at 2am Sunday when the power went off. I need the wifi on for a mobile signal here , so when the power was still off after half an hour I had to plug in the copper line phone in the hall to inform Scottish Power (...

Seriously though , I'm really impressed they pinpointed and named this storm at the beginning of the week - before it had even formed. Powerful computers at work.

Not a worry for me these days. I can only judge by the silage holm opposite my house. It has greened over a bit since the second cut came off about a fortnight ago, although it's had no slurry. My garden is dry as can be and I have to water a new flower border...

28.2 at Prestwick yesterday and forecasted for the same today. I'm not used to this at all. Only about one inch of rain in the last 6 weeks too.

That's my boy! ( Tryst )

Looking at the climate predictions for Australia and the current horrendous drought in Western and Central states of the USA , you wouldn't know if these countries will be raising production a whole lot , or not.

How far did you read into it though? Exports rose further to EU countries but fell to NON EU countries.

I seem to remember a rather sudden and deep cut to the burner payments for cast cows , that Tony Blair's Geordie Minister of Agriculture implemented right away in 1997. Knocked the bottom out of the dairy replacement market.

Fourth day in a row that's hot and sunny , thought it had forgotten how to!

Dull cold and windy , rain started at 10 am. Nasty day after several good sunny ones, which meant you didn't feel the cool air so much. Shame the long days here are so cold, could have been lots of growth - but no.

From my diary , this week last year saw the coldest May night in Northern Ireland since 1982 . We had several frosts which ultimately saw us without an apple , and I counted 12 rowan berries on three trees in the garden. The chestnut trees got fried too. Prior...

Took this picture next door , on 13th May 2021 . There isn't a leaf on it yet , today.

You get poor quite quick at 13 ppl for a prolonged period.

It was still minus 6 at 10am this morning at Prestwick , according to the Met Office. That is right on the shoreline BTW. Been freezing non stop since Wednesday here.

I dare say it sounds like it , if you are a civil servant on 35 hours or less.

The commentary asks why CANZUK hasn't happened yet , I imagine it might just have something to do with UK trade agreements being reserved to the EU until now!

Perhaps a bit over optimistic , but an interesting perspective nonetheless. How Canada, Australia, New Zealand, & The UK Are Secretly Forming One Global Superpower: CANZUK - YouTube
