I remember seeing a rather odd TV interview, before the referendum on leaving the EU, in which a little, old lady stated that she was voting 'leave' "So she could get her milk from the cow next door". Sadly, it has now been predicted that any post-Brexit US trade deal might well result in the UK having to take cheap milk from a much more distant source produced under lesser welfare standards (https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/shoppers-may-forced-buy-inferior-milk-america-post-brexit-trade-deal-us/). This might well have consequences for the already embattled UK diary industry.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
