Not much done today as I had a telephone press interview, and then family arrived. Family save up all year in money and party spirit to give it hell when they arrive, and whilst its lovely to see them, the bank balance takes a beating for a while. San Miguel & El Coto love it of course. Sales accelerate upwards. I seldom say 'Hello' to my bed until the early hours, and kids deem it their right to drag me out of bed at some unearthly early hour to start again. I wouldn't have it any other way though.

I told an old Tom Cotter story to the kids at lunch, as per: 'When I was a young man I was riding a horse, and its leg was broken, so I had to shoot it........ everybody on the carousel freaked out'.

Hope you have a good evening.
