We hope you’re all extremely well and are enjoying both the surge in temperature and in sporting spectacles, be it Wimbledon, Formula One or the T20 Cricket. Of course, I suspect many of us will have also been watching the football, but I know it would be a stretch to suggest one might have ‘enjoyed’ […]
We hope you’re all extremely well and are enjoying the anticipated onset of summer anticipation? We are certain it will begin soon?? Regardless of temperature, it’s always an exciting time of year for this author as the sporting calendar really kicks into gear with Wimbledon, The Open golf, The European Championship Football tournament and, of […]
We hope you’re all extremely well and are enjoying the surge in temperatures? It even reached as high has 15°C in this author’s garden later in the month. In fact, I almost had the opportunity to take my coat off later in the month, before the rain came pouring in. Let’s hope the summer kicks […]

Such a condition certainly describes the position of this author, though cynics may define our Cautious OPtimism Over Uncertain Times as a […]
Where else to begin than to wish you all a very happy New Year. We trust you had a fun, restful and replenishing break, and you’re excited about the opportunities that present in the year ahead. This author certainly is, though having eaten my own bodyweight in Roses over the festive period, I can’t yet […]
We hope you are keeping well, and that you’re managing to get business sufficiently in order, so that you may enjoy a restful and replenishing festive break.
