Summer Holidays

I am just back from California and feeling refreshed and raring to go. It’s lovely to experience a mild British summer after 118 degrees in Death Valley. It’s also nice to be able to shower and water the garden without fear of drought. California is so beautiful and there is so much to see. I saw a coyote in Yosemite National Park and beautiful Bluejays all over the state. I didn’t see a bear, but that might not be a bad thing.

Lots of trends start in the USA and come over here. I just hope our portion size does not increase to American proportions!

Pension Freedoms

A Conservative victory today has secured the far reaching changes to pensions announced in the recent Budget. There were fears that these changes might be unravelled by a new Government. Why not arrange a review of your pensions to find out what your future income options are and what the implications of the other changes such as those to death benefits and IHT are?
