I hope everybody had an enjoyable summer break. I was fortunate enough to spend a few weeks in the north western coast of Spain, in a lovely Galician fishing village called Sanxenxo.

Winding down somewhere scenic and reading a few interesting books* is a great way to relax and recharge the batteries, but thank heavens for Blackberries and wireless internet connections.

Oh they have their faults, I´ll grant you that, but I´d never be able to bring the family to the coast for a few weeks without them.

Like it or not, I can see this type of “working” vacation becoming ever more popular as the years go by.

* My holiday reading

1. The Big Short, Michael Lewis

2. Race of a Lifetime, Heilemann & Halperin

3. False Economy, Alan Beattie

Kind Regards

Colin
