We've had some interesting news from Wayne and Dean. They're planning to move back to Oxford. They've got some office space for their business in the new Science and Innovation Park in Headington - just across the Ring Road from where we live. They'll still be doing some manufacturing in the West Midlands, using plant owned by Wayne's dad, who has his own engineering business, but the desgin centre will be in Oxford. I think they got a good deal because their work (designing equipment for people with disabilities) is just the sort of thing that the trust that owns the site wants to support.
They say that they think it will be good for business being in Oxford where there's lots of innovative science and engineering going on and a supply of high quality fresh graduates to join the team. I'm sure that's true, but personally I raher fancy Wayne is also keen to put a bit of distance between them and his parents. not that he doesn't get on with his mum and dad; it's just that I think they can sometimes be a bit too eager to help! And Barbara Major - Wayne's mum - is very fond of Dean and makes rather a fuss fo him.
It'll be nice to have them living so close - at least, I suppose they'll be living close; they haven't actually found a house yet - not just because it'll be handy when any of Jonah's equipment needs fixing, but because they're such nice lads and good company.
