Actually just like Pete's looked in his glasshouse yesterday ( like two blades of grass ) so I assume you are fine. I'm quite excited about this project and my old 'Salesmans' mojo is back and indeed ideas abound in my brain about the future prospects for this venture!
When you produce the perfect 3 pounder I would wish to be your sole marketing arm in lieu of advice given which I consider a fair and reasonable offer + of course the normal 10% of revenue generated. I see great scope for this onion's image worldwide if marketed correctly and can quickly see you needing a few acres of suitable land for future growing, possibly the land in Lincolnshire you willed to your daughter would suffice as it would keep it in the family and as BFP lives in the county and has I believe, an interest in agriculture, he would make the ideal manager. Looking further ahead I see great opportunities in the literary world .... and again we are most fortunate to have as a brother 'Pie ... El Sid of Scarborough who could pen the life story of the onion 'Elitus' and how it came to prominence. Of course El Sid would require rewarding but I feel sure he would gain his satisfaction from penning a best seller (his personal ambition) rather than any financial reward. Even further in the future we could utilise Tarquin to open up the US market and indeed grow your onions under licence on his own land and who knows, possibly develop a new feed from goat sh1t which again could be patented for further sales. Yes the opportunities are huge
