I have been trying to think of something vaguely witty to say in this week’s musings, but it is beyond me to find any humour in the events that are.

Last week’s competition winners were Ms F from Romsey and Mrs C from Dibden Purlieu, their wine should be arriving on Wednesday of this week. Congratulations to both of you.

“I wanna tell you a story”, case of wine for the first two with whose catch phrase that was, my story involves a, he says, successful property developer who expanded.

As I said last week, I was going to write about low interest rates, but this has been somewhat Trumped, get it? Of course to a degree there has been.

Sometimes events tell you that a course of action that made a great deal of sense must be re- considered. It may well be that decisions made on the evidence.

As David is taking a very much deserved break this week he has handed over the reins to me, Caroline, for this week’s musings. As some of you know, I.
