I have just been to the printers in Windhoek - I’m actually still in Windhoek now - and we have just witnessed the new Buchter getting born. I must say that I’m quite pleased with it, although not all the colours etc. where quite right yet.

Exciting because of the new printers. Exciting because [...]
