Into Spring

Edinburgh is an interesting place all year round but as we move into Spring it has the added feature of strange weather patterns. Friday 17 April: damp, haar, biting east wind, 4 degrees, full winter clothing, maxing the central heating. Monday 20 April: blindingly bright, wall to wall sunshine, sunscreen, 20 degrees, car aircon on. Let's hope the summer follows the latter pattern.

A busy period

Everyone I seem to talk to through work is busy at present. Is this a by-product of the recession for those of us in business? I think so. It seems that we are all having to work harder and smarter for the same return or in some instances even less.
Sixteen years ago when we set up the business (2 April 1993!) we were in a recession and had to work hard to get established. Who says history doesn't repeat itself?
