Business visitors for lunch

Monday, 25th July: Herr Juengst and Herr Noll came to Meerbusch for an informal business related visit. They had been part of a previous NRW delegation to the UK and were following up with another visit, coming to London on the 8th August. I had initiated the meeting as it is always a pleasure when previous visitors to the UK actually follow up on potential business.

We covered some aspects that might be of assistance to them and then enjoyed a Schnitzel at the only nearby Pension that was open on a Monday.

That evening, photographed my German grandfather's typed diary text. This had been originally transcribed from handwritten notes into a word-processor document by my oldest uncle, printed and sent to family members. However, the original digital files had been lost. In my publishing role, I was interested in seeing if it was possible to recreate the digital version for future use. Mr T turned the pages (over 300) whilst Mrs T read through the notes, finding mention of herself as a child and chuckling at her fathers perception of her as a headstrong girl.
