So as I logout, let me say thanks to all of you. this week has given me a platform 40 times my normal followers. It has really been a pleasure & I genuinely mean that. 
Twitter can be a shouty place (& I’ve been as guilty as anyone) The kind comments & the lovely messages have been such an encouragement. Particularly thanks to the lovely people (all women) who privately showed me how to do threads & didn’t embarrass me in public. 👍
A special big thanks to @nbclancy for allowing me to create mayhem on this forum. Noel, you’re one of my farming heroes. You don’t have to run this group but you do & we’re all the richer for it. So thank you most of all.
To all the farmers labouring away on this little piece of bog off the coast of Europe today. Keep your chin up. The population of this wee island is a total of 6.6M people. We produce enough food every year to feed 35M. Be proud of what we do, be very proud indeed. 😍
Finally, if you’re tempted to run across & follow my own account, don’t. Stay here & cheer on my successor @IrishRainforest I’m excited about next week. I’m rightly fading into the background for a while.
A last thought from little rhyme my grandad used. Thank you all
