What is 4500kg, 80 HP, 4 WD ?

Back in Feb 2015 we took delivery of the best toy ever. Here is a sneak preview:

What is that in yellow … a front loader perhaps!

  1. Well done ! I don’t understands Tannas department of engineering but I can see that the garden has transformed Hornbydale. Very impressed with everything I know the chalets will be stunning very soon. Lots of love myaiyo

  2. Dear Edwin, I can see that you are doing fine… Where did you get a Massey Ferguson? My father used to have one, but it was a long time ago. Nowaday only John Deer’s are around here.Here in Valais, we have a really hot summer (since 4 weeks around 35°c everyday). At work, we are struggling to keep up with all the work going on, which is good but sometime challenging. We are currently thinking about having reservation fee for the GMP lab as it is quite full for the next 12 months. Unfortunately, since the re-organization, it is unlikely that we will take the chance to jump on the train and grow even if your successor is trying really hard. P1 and P2 are now split with P1 (Cimzia) ramping up already, but of course nobody did think about what this would mean for R&D… On my side, I just bought a small house here in Sion, so I will probably stay a while at Lonza. I still have a lot of fun going to work every day, so I guess it is ok. The team stayed more or less the same, except that Martin Krättli moved to MSAT and I hired an English girl to replace him. So my group’s languages are  German, English, French and Italian. I like it like this.And you? Based on your message every now and then, I gather that you are ready to start collecting the first results of your quite intensive commitment. Did you get a shotgun for the baboons?In any case, I wish you and your family all the best.Sincerely,Yves
