Back to the land of rain and 6c after a trip that changed my view of the world and its future.
When I see the state of our industry it is little short of criminal how badly things are run from Westminster. However this is probably now an irrelevance to the longer term, we can look forward to a period of steadily rising prices for our food production despite the best efforts of our Govt to suppress inflation. Chinese demand for food is growing rapidly and they at least have the cash to pay for it, after Northern Rock I am not so sure that Britain has any money spare at all.
In a few years a committee will convene to find out why agriculture was so disastrously run down and why so much damage was done to the UK economy by the rapid rise in prices and shortages that followed. It will of course say that none of those outcomes could have been foreseen and no one is to blame, total fiction, but at least those of us who survive in business till then will know the truth.
Our new daughter had the best of attention from an entire BA cabin crew and a very comfortable bed for her flight home, mum and dad got a good bacon egg sausage and tomato breakfast along with the first decent cuppa for days. Its great to be home and we are all well and settling down nicely.
