End of the week, beginning of the weekend

Busy day yesterday, but didn't achieve much. Went to my accountant in Caversham yesterday morning - he does a lot of travelling to China - fascinating to hear about their manufacturing over there - pour the iron ore in one end, programme what they want to come out the other end, and giant springs for example come out - with only about 3 people working it. So the cost of labour is incidental - it is the investment in technology and manufacturing processes which is the key - something Trade Unions and Business leaders would never commit to.

Thanks for the Village Hall letting me know about their web site - a marvellous pub for eating and drinking in - they have always been very hospitable when the sports club members have booked a place up their for their birthday and end of season do's. Quite a few have been held up there now.

Here is a photo of Rebecca with her cousin (who she adores!) Olivia.
