The Rings of Time........
It is difficult to tell the size from the picture but the width of the tree was considerable bigger than I am tall.
The rings on the tree showed what it had endured during its life, much like the wrinkles on my face, where it had good years and bad.
As the tree was 4 times older than me it puts into perspective the brief stay that we mere mortals have on this earth and the importance of spending our time wisely.
Here is hoping your time on this earth is long, productive & enjoyable.

Academic Week at Instituto Ânima in Joinville, Brazil
I was recently invited to give a talk by one of our customers, Instituto Ânima in Brazil. They are part of a large academic faculty that specialises in providing courses for and training our future foundry managers and engineers. Instituto Ânima also have a commercial foundry on the University site which provides a particularly useful function in that their students can visit and learn about a working foundry.

Sun, Sea, Sand and Spring!
My last Blog described going to a Spanish Ski slope.
Whilst the weather in Southern Spain was cold and wet in October and November (the rain is sorely needed) it has been sunny and dry for about 6 weeks or so. Down on the coast it can still be T shirts and shorts.
