Many who grew up before the 1990s will remember opening the front door on a fresh blustery morning to find six glass bottles filled to the brim with fresh milk, dropped off by a milkman who you likely knew on a first-name basis.
Fast-forward to 2022 and the purchase of milk is a far less glamorous affair. Through the noughties, milkmen slowly fell out of fashion as supermarket giants gained a stronghold over the dairy industry, selling off cheap milk in plastic bottles - no strings attached.
In some parts of Wales, though, the milkman seems to be making something of a grand come-back. In Swansea and Cardiff in particular, demand for traditional doorstep milk is surging, and it has something to do with sustainability, as well as nostalgia.
