All's right with the world


Hi friends,

What a hectic week! I kept traveling between West Midlands and Warwickshire.

On Tuesday, there was a professional training course jointly organised by my company and one of the big four accounting firms, E. It was held here.

In these days, lots of country hotels are converting them to conference venuse and host corporate training and seminars. It normally comes with unlimited supply of coffee and biscuits. Hurrah!

It was a beautiful day. Daffodils are still with us, even though it is approaching May. 

It is evident that we are having coldest spring this year. I was planning to visit my ex-colleagues in Oxfordshire and see blue bells together this weekend but we had to postpone it due to the delay of the flowers. It looks like all flowers are late by 1 month and in fact, I am typing this in front of a convector heater on 27th April! Still very cold in the morning here.

However, it is getting brighter and we occasionally get sunny days. When the spring sun shines, English countryside becomes just glorious.

The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven--
All's right with the world!
