| Everywhere you look these
days it appears that “Do It Yourself”
is giving way to “We Will Do It For You.”
Hardly surprising with a world that is increasingly
busier and, with time at a premium, the future for
all customer-facing offers will be even more specialized
and a need to supply every bell and whistle becomes
a key customer requirement. |

| During the
summer we (me and the man) booked a little cottage
in Inverness–shire, Scotland … not far
from the infamous Loch Ness. It was a great opportunity
to relax, walk, fish, read and generally chill out
and ponder on some of the great mysteries of life
and the universe. And I have been told there are
many! |

within Berkshire have now returned back to school.
It is amazing what the lead up to the return of
school is - with children who require school uniform,
that extra special pen for their new pencil case,
or even joining the long scary queue at Clarks for
a pair of school shoes. |
