One of the challenges with writing these is not so much finding something to write about, it’s that there is so much I could write about! I know what excites.

As I sit and write these musings tonight – Sunday night – I’m raising a glass. It would have been Dad’s birthday today. As you can imagine it’s been a family orientated weekend, which has actually been rather lively and full of laughter remembering the good times. And of course, a few sad times. There was a lot of speculating on what he would have made of our weekend together. Would he have approved of the food we ate, the drinks we drank? (He would have – it’s been a delicious weekend) what would he have made of the markets right now and the current political climate? (He would have been spitting feathers – he would also have found Trump’s decision to try for the presidency again completely predictable; but may have been surprised to see Kanye West ask Trump to be his running mate in his own presidential bid. Actually, who am I kidding? He moved with the times enough to have seen that coming too).
I was also given a gift last week in readiness for this weekend. The team at the office had gathered all the kind messages that you, our clients, sent through following the announcement of Dad’s passing and made them into a book. It’s been very moving to be able to read through them all and see how much he meant to many of you. And I’m so glad I will have those to look back on from time to time.
Thank you, sincerely, for all your wonderful, kind messages. They make weekends like this one a little better.
So, to the markets,
