Wandering milk


A milk wagon went past as I was standing at the bus stop – nothing unusual in that, except that this one bore the logo of Pembrokeshire Cheese.

Collecting or delivering milk, silly.

But the company’s website stresses that they use milk only from Welsh farms, so what was it doing on a B road in Derbyshire?

Perhaps local farms are providing milk to one of the other operations of the parent company, First Milk, who sometimes share tankers; or perhaps it was on a (long) diversion because a road somewhere was closed by flooding or landslips. Or perhaps the wet weather is reducing milk yields so much that a desperate search is on for alternative sources of supply.

Added 14th July: I saw the (a?) Pembrokeshire Cheese wagon passing through the village again this lunchtime, so it must be a regular delivery/pickup run
