Food Awards and Racing Cars

Wednesday evening I had the privilege of being at the BBC's Food and Farming awards. It was wonderful to hear about all the good and innovative things that have been happening agriculture & the food industry. A number of "ordinary" or rather "extra-ordinary" were honoured for their contributions by all sorts of celebrities. I was encouraged by all the good things that are happening to help reconnect food producers with the customers.

By way of a contrast on Friday I had a trip round the Red Bull Racing Factory, where they design, develop and build Formula 1 cars. The technology involved is fascinating. Good luck to the team and I hope they start winning soon.
