The final Push

This time next week, we shall be preparing for our week in the Lakes with the lovely "Pops" family.  It is a couple of years since we were last there, and although we will be without our smallest companion this time, I am really looking forward to it.  We approach the end of a hard fourth year of the business, and I am very much looking forward to a break.  We have survived the recession, and numbers have remained good, and when we look at what has happened with so many other companies like ours, we can be rightly proud.  Next year we will be exciting as it will be the culmination of some of my writing projects, and the beginning of some more.  I hope that they turn out to be fruitful, as they not only give the company an edge, but also give me the chance to vent my creative spleen.  We move into the next year with the threat of cuts to the arts hanging over us all.  This new coalition government is waving the axe around with wild abandon, and it is only a matter of time before things start to get difficult in our industry.  I hope that everyone can remain calm, and use it as a creative force rather than a destructive one.  Some of the best works of art can be traced back to moments of austerity.
