Valencia- a few Brexit free days in Spain with light sunny days, fabulous juicy Spanish oranges and wonderful local wines and the best paella in Spain- just what the Doctor ordered.

A toast to the Irish…

St Patrick’s day was earlier this week with the wild celebrations over the w/e to celebrate worldwide if you’re Irish…

A big week for trade talks…

A big week for trade talks…Brexit enters the end game…markets in carnival mood, Elon Musk blasts off…Europe’s largest cruise ship MSC Bellissimo is launched in Southampton and it’s mardi gras week with Pancake Tuesday in the UK, Las Fallas in Spain, and of course the Rio festival.

Mergers, Kim Jong Un, Heniz and Nelly…

Two Welshies in the office crowing after the w/e’s England drubbing and with the Azzurri playing so well against the Irish, we’ll probably lose to the Italians (and we’ve got an Italian in the team to boot!)…not good to be an Englishman…will make for merciless ribbing in the office this week…
