Stubble charcoals his cheekbones and jaw, tattoos fence his arms. Our latest farmhand is a veteran of the Middle East, coiled and twangy like cat gut.

Farm p**n swamps Facebook and Instagram as though the ghost of Hugh Hefner is riding the tractor. Luscious herbs are tinted and cropped to beckon. Soft-filtered, oinking-porcines have their abattoir future edited. Buxom heads of broccoli bulge out like centrefolds.

Not being able to say ‘no’, to have it quickly and firmly roll off my tongue, has been making our lives ever more complicated. It’s one of the shortest and simplest words in the English language, but for people-pleasers like me, the softer and longer ‘yes’ is much more automatic to pronounce.
