I've just arrived in Johannesburg, but thought you might like to see some more pictures from my Mexico trip.

As you can see below, Macmillan is taking global warming seriously. Our company there has organised to have its own energy-saving train for freighting books from the docks to the new warehouse in Mexico City and for onward despatch to bookshops and schools:

It's an impressive set-up, with heightened security to ensure no books are inadvertently filched by visiting executives....

On another note, we're always pleased when our colleagues from Germany go travelling and ask to visit our local offices. Andreas Kirschkamp from the 'Controlling Department' in Stuttgart paid a visit to India recently and met up with many of the team there.

He received even more than the typical Indian hospitality. He and I agree that this might have something do with his similarity to Michael Vaughan, the England cricket captain.
