No financial news to start February....


Whilst bad weather can create problems for many, including the 6 million estimated people who took the day off work yesterday; it was at least a welcome break from recession and finance news, with all the major media focusing on the snow that gripped the UK.

IT seems that the further dumpings expected, on the whole did not happen and aside from exercising caution on the ice, most people ventured off to work as normal this morning.

Yesterday I mentioned that I was going to Sandringham to meet the Queen and I must tell you that she was genuinely lovely. She made the effort to speak to everybody present at the event and despite the snowy conditions at the Sandrigham Estate, still stayed at the vistor centre for over an hour.

The drive home gave me some time to reflect on how regimented her life must be, body guards, maximum security and endless public engagments. Certainly one for me to keep in perspective when stuck in traffic or worse still moaning about snow making it hard to get to work.
