Morning all,
Here we are back at it...well some of us anyhow!
2009 will be a tough year I suspect - I woke this morning to hear that Wedgwood - THE iconic name in pottery has filed for administration. Some years ago I used to do a lot of business with them and it was clear - even in the 1980's - that things were not good at Wedgwood (or for most of the potteries for that matter) - they had lost sight of the changing trends in the market (suspect more so now) and also lost sight that high volume production was not where value is created in that business...any how it's a shame all the same and I just hope (for the sake of our national heritage) that a buyer can be found who will be sympathetic to the legacy of the Wedgwood family and indeed the 'potteries'.
I think I have failed to avoid getting the 'cold' that has been doing the rounds and as I write I ache all over and feel pretty slow...which is a little problem as I have a busy London based week ahead of me...which will mean that I will either spread my germs further afield or catch a variant of another 'cold' virus - thanks to the tube! You see - us country folk are not used to all these people!
Thought I would also attach a nice wintry photo - taken near home last weekend...any one seen my snowboard?
JHD
