Subject:Visit to the warehouse in Guidford

Hi Ron

Today, Emily deoveme to the warehouse in Guildford.

I was amazed at the number of bottles they keep from customers as well as meticulous maintenance. I enjoyed the conversation with the warehouse manager. He was very passionate - I believe it when he says he treats each bottle of wine as if it were his own child.

On the way back to London, Emily kindly took me to a famous hotel in Richmond for an afternoon tea.

Tomorrow, I'll have a meeting at HQ, and I'll take an evening flight back to Tokyo.

See you soon!
Lisa

〇Ron's reply
Dear Lisa

I think the warehouse tour was very informative. That warehouse is microcosm of WCS's history, company philosophy, and relationships with both customers and producers.

I felt proud to be a WCS employee when I saw that warehouse.

Safe journey home!
Ron

Sorry! I forgot to report one thing.
I've spoken to Mr.Aoki at Mamma Rosa, and we've almost reached an agreement. When I return to Tokyo, I'll finalize the wine list for proposal.

　Nearly half of eligible men took paternity leave in Japan last year
日本で資格のある男性の半数近くが去年育児休業を取得

A survey by Japan's biggest business organization shows that nearly half of eligible male workers took child care leave last year. That's up 18 percentage points from the year before. The Japan Business Federation, also known as Keidanren, conducted the poll from April to early May.（略）
The average period of leave was 44 days.（略）
A legal revision that came into force in October 2022 gives male workers up to four weeks of paternity leave.（略）
Last year's trend for relatively long leave periods was strongest at large firms. But the numbers tend to be lower at smaller firms with no more than 300 employees.　Only about one in three men who took leave at those companies stayed at home for a month or longer.　Forty-six percent took fewer than five days off.

　Cominciamo preparando il cotechino: senza toglierlo dalla sua confezione di alluminio, lo facciamo cuocere per circa 20 minuti dal momento dell'ebollizione.
②その間に他の鍋に少量のオイルをひき、かなり細かくみじん切りにしたにんじん、たまねぎ、セロリを入れ、きつね色になるまで炒めましょう。
　Nel frattempo, in un'altra pentola con un po'd'olio, mettiamo a rosolare la carota, lacipolla e il sedano tritati molto finemente.
③レンズ豆、ローズマリー、ローレルの葉を加え、水でひたひたにします。
　Aggiungiamo le lenticchie , il rosmarino e le foglia di alloro e ricopriamo con dell'acqua.
④沸騰させ、３０分ほど煮ましょう。
　Portiamo ad ebollizione e lasciamo cuocere per circa 30 minuti.
⑤塩コショウで味を調え、保温しておきます。
　Regoliamo di sale e pepe e teniamo in caldo.
⑥湯を切り、包装をあけてコテキーノを取り出したら、皮を取り除いて約5ｍｍの厚さにスライスします。
　Scoliamo e scartiamo il cotechino, lo spelliamo e lo tagliamo in fettine di circa 5mm.
⑦レンズ豆を大皿に移し、その上にコテキーノのスライスを１枚づつ重ねて１列に並べます。
　Trasferiamo le lenticchie su un piatto da portata e le ricopriamo con le fette di cotechino allineate una sull'altra.
⑧ローリエの葉を数枚飾り、仕上げにオイルをかけて食卓に運び、新年を待ちわびながら味わいましょう。
