Tom,
I read the XF50 a few days ago...then I passed it around our office (wealth management/family office firm for entrepreneurs). The "firm's" reaction was much like Ebenezer Scrooge's to the ghost of Christmas future. In reading it, we saw what we were becoming if we stayed on the same path. XF50 was a great wake up call for our firm...and the best part is that the clients will absolutely be served better due to the change in view and we'll end up working better as a team.

If you ever wake up in the morning and wonder if you're still being an effective change agent (even for folks you've never met), stop wondering. You are. All the best, and Merry Christmas...

Good morninng from the edge of Lincolnshire England, the frost is hard but the sun has thawed it.

I have thanks.

What a great list it is about to go out to one or two of those nearest and dearest to me in my working network. Just what I needed.

Season's felictations to you and yours from me and mine, keep up the good work, everything changes and we change with it (I really must look up the latin for that again!)

Kind regards

Patrick

Good afternoon.

Most kind to look it up for me, this latin thing is my fathers fault as one of his favourite quotes was in latin, however, having been a boilersmith all his life, and this doesn't excuse it but suffice to say its not for print.

So in return I share his favourite pun with you.

I have a cardigan with nine buttons, but I can only fasten eight!

Have the best of days.

Patrick - which part of Lincolnshire? - my birthplace and home for the first 21 years of my life was the 'edge' of Lincolnshire ... a small village called Parson Drove Near Wisbech ..... Small world :-)

Good morning, sorry for the delay.

More eastern boarder than southern like your good self, Claypole is the village, have a look on Google earth, yes its all still very flat and today its all covered in frost.

Indeed it is a small world.

Hi Patrick - I've been to Sleaford many times on the A17 but never to Claypole. East Anglia may not have beautiful scenery but it has a charm all of its own - and the people are wonderful.

Have a great Christmas.
