PEOPLE across Scotland are noticing gaps in the fruit and vegetable displays at supermarkets and a decline in quality with some items past their best by the time they arrive. Pre-Brexit, fruit and veg were in the shops within five days of being harvested in Spain, France or Italy. Now the process takes up to two weeks, explained greengrocer James Welby of Tattie Shaw’s on Edinburgh’s Leith Walk. He said: “Excuse my French – but it is a shitshow. It is probably a combination of Brexit and Covid but the produce is taking much longer to get here than it used to and it often isn’t class one when it arrives. Everything has a cost – even delay. The produce is more expensive – on average around 10% more I would say, but it varies.

Feeling Stressed? Clear Your Mind and Relax by Forest Bathing
The term forest bathing conjures up all kinds of mental images. It s scientifically proven to be a great stress reliever, and don t worry, there s no reason to disrobe and you probably won t need a towel.
There s plenty to makes us all feel the pressure with non-stop pandemic news, guidelines, and protocols, plus the holidays are here. All of us could benefit from some Forest bathing. It s a Japanese concept known as Shinrin-yoku and involves spending some times in the outdoors, specifically in the forests.
Don t think taking a hike, going for a run, or ascending a mountain peak. Simply get yourself in mother nature s world with birds, streams, and in come cases, just pure quietness. Walk leisurely and if possible, just sit and soak it all in.
