I have just been to Switzerland on a week’s marketing. I don’t think it will bring any instant results but I hope it will be productive in the long term.

The world recession has had a negative effect on our business but I am sure th upturn is not far away.

Emma (32) and husband Phil have adopted two wonderful little boys. We recently went to Jacob’s 1st birthday party and Jacob and Carl (2 1/2) stayed here last weekend. It was the twins 27th birthday and almost all the family joined together to go to the Sarafi Park in Bewdley. It was a good weekend.

Susie is expecting in December so we expect to go to Somerset for Christmas.

So - all is well!
