Giorno 50 - Notizie da Ferrara

Ferrara castleYou'll see from the photographs that I've taken this morning that I'm not in England we're back in italy for our Soya harvest staying in a place named Ferrara (there's a very nice cathedral which I've just taken a snap of and also the castle).

Our guide is Romolo who works for a company called Marollo who we do business with here in Italy, so a change of scenery and a change of diet!

As far as peas are concerned, as you know you know we've finished in Lowestoft at the weekend and we've only got two out of the five groups working up in Hull. We anticipate the harvest will finish there either saturday or sunday of this week, so it's taking time to finish the last little bit, but it's obviously important that we make the best of that...

Some interesting developments later in the week as we go through how we're going to manage against our requirements with the stock that we've got so some interesting meetings coming up--our Italian customers to whom we supply peas are over to see us on wednesday and thursday so I'll let you know how that goes.
