On my rounds I'm noticing more and more dying shrubs. Ash trees in particular are wilting all around me now, with some leaves burnt to a cinder. But others too. Here's an ash tree dying as it's leaves are unfolding.

And some ivy underneath it in trouble too.

And a sycamore and more ash.

And some birch and sally (willow) struggling on the edge of a bog.

Yes I believe so, this is where they should have started out their negotiations instead of giving everything away to start with. I assume it will be to put pressure on the EU to get a deal but it would be great for UK dairy if they stayed as it would effectively price Irish Cheese out of the market.

That's what it means unless you negotiate a trade deal then there are no tarrifs and probably no regulations.

It's all part of the game we are playing with the eu and us.

Yeah well I for one have had enough of both sides playing silly buggers as all it does is gives dairies the opportunity to put the frighteners on with threats of 8ppl price cuts.

I find it astonishing that you spent millions on your dairy since the referendum, and seem surprised that this is a possibility. I think I remember correctly that you use a consultancy whose name tellingly rhymes with shite. If so, and they didn't warn you a long time ago, I am even more astonished.
