Dear All,
It has been suggested to me that I send these letters one by one rather than to a group for various reasons, so I will do that.
I fly to Italy next month for a few days where our great friend Ross from Durban and I are exhibiting at a Gardening Expo in Padova. We have six or so S.A. manufactured items to sell in Southern Europe (and distribute from Cannes in the future). Our items are a collapsible greenhouse, some ingenious shelving, a hose reeling device (new patent), some hoses, another clever new patent called a tiller-weeder, and a hydroponic system for the greenhouse or to stand alone. We have received S.A. Department of Trade and Industry support for our venture, so they are picking up a good proportion of the costs, which is a relief. The show is from 13 – 15 September, after which Ross and I will go to Cannes for a few days to set up our distributorship legally, then he will return to SA and I will stay on another week to attend to property business, and to spend some time looking for a second hand car and searching for accommodation for Steve and Avril, which I know is not going to be easy.
