In the justifiable excitement of concluding a new FTA, it's worth remembering that this is only the start. Here's some thoughts from 2017 on one boring, but important, aspect of any trade agreement.

It's maybe a sign that the holidays are approaching rapidly, but I'm finding this a fantastically useful @biztradegovuk resource: https://t.co/BEjkFCBFr8 As ever, UK food and drink exporters face most market access barriers worldwide. Thanks for all DBT support.

Final thought for tonight - praise to the island tradition of waving at every driver you pass - whether you know them or not (if you don’t - they might know you so it’s not worth the risk 😂)

It’s not Christmas until the Ullapool tree is up!

Made up of over 400 lobster creels and topped off with a crab light, the 16 feet tall tree is the centrepiece of the town’s Christmas decorations.

As the Christmas break hoves into view, it's worth reminding yourself what constitutes a unit of alcohol. Scotch Whisky takes a lot of love and a lot of years to produce. It deserves to be sipped and savoured.

@EdinburghRugby @WP_Nel has assuredly still got it. What a shift from the great man!

Backed by rugged hills and fronting a quaint fishing harbour, the village of #Tarbert is often seen as the gateway to the beautiful peninsula of #Kintyre — making it a great base for your next #Argyll adventure. 🤩

The presence of mind from Kolisi to rush to Kolbe. A true leader.

The wait for the spirit to be ready and on the online queuing system this morning was well worth it. Looking forward to seeing and, indeed, tasting what @harrisdistiller
have created.

Very much enjoyed the launch of the new @BSI_UK Whisky Standard at Holyrood Distillery this evening. A four year journey to get here but it's been worth it.

Today Althea Gibson would have turned 96.

When I was 13, she showed me what World No. 1 looked like, & doing the same became my goal.

She broke the color barrier in tennis as the 1st Black person to win a major.

Let's continue to honor her memory always.
