Splash from the sea

SOMETIMES I wake up early enough in the morning to catch Farming Today on BBC Radio 4.

It’s always interesting and keeps me in touch with the farming scene across the water.Recently, I heard an interesting interview with Andy Inglis from Dunbar, Scotland, who had decided to sell Hebridean seawater as a commercial venture (Acquamara Seawater — www.acquamara.com).

Remember when we first heard that some “prime boy” was actually bottling water and selling it. Maybe you didn’t think it was a daft idea but I certainly did. No doubt many will be jut as sceptical about this, and perhaps they are right, but if you are fortunate enough to be close to the sea where water is clean and relatively unpolluted, make use of this wonderful resource and the seaweed on the strand.
