The Reality of  Milk by maggiemae

The Reality of Milk

A new experience - taking a REAL milk bottle out of the fridge and using it. Milk straight from the source. I can’t say that I notice the difference in flavour but its the fact that is importance - no middleman and the glass is re used! They are responsible for the hygiene and it must be important or they would lose licence if there is one.

Anyway this is how it looks.

To be Thankful For;
1. We didn’t have snow.
2. Doctors getting their act together. (another story)
3. Finished one book of over 500 pages, now starting another 568 pages.
Do you have a milkman deliver these like we do in the UK or did you buy at a shop... I think it’s mostly plastic in shops these days. Three very good things!

@happypat The Dairy is just down the road from us, Pat but they will deliver for an extra $1. My family will be very proud of me - being of the views of no plastic if possible!

I miss the milkman! Haven't seen these for a long time sadly

I love the sound of your new dairy. And feel quite nostalgic about the old milk bottle.

@fbailey This is a 1 litre bottle, Felicity! The old ones were a pint - 600ml.

Well done on no plastic milk bottles and a great photo to boot! We get our milk delivered in glass bottles twice a week! The milkman has a very wide area to cover as not many houses have milk delivered.

Great image! Well done on no plastic! Our milk is in plastic bottles - no glass like the old days. I like the sound of your dairy!

Good effort, Maggie. All the big stores are plastic, but recycleable. I know our local milkman, he's offered five / six day delivery for at least 20+ plus years. I don't use him purely and simply because my milk use can vary from just a few coffees a week to several pints a day. But he does supply small local shop across the road, and I always buy the glassed milk from there, it tastes better.
I also think his sales are beginning to increase after years of decline.

@markp Maybe we are all becoming more aware of the dangers of plastic, Mark! Change starts at home!

Well this is wonderful. My what a play you had with that milk bottle! Love your 3 good things!

I would love to get milk in glass bottles, but we use a lot at my house. Not me, I have to use lactose free. There is a dairy where you can buy raw milk about a 30 to 45 minute drive from me.

The milk bottle is truly the star in this show! Always good to buy local if you can.
August 1st, 2019  
Nice to see milk in a bottle again!

@flowerfairyann Yes, Ann, like to support local businesses if we can!

Oh wow, a real blast from the past.

Great idea to revive milk in bottles.

Being a dairy farmer we get milk straight from the cowshed. Can't say I like it when we go away and I have to buy milk.

Lovely edit.
