My way... Quotes from: "Hand-Wound Man - Nicholas Foulkes Column" They belonged to an age when a handshake meant more than an online MBA in international finances and when hedges were large green things to be found in the grounds of their country estates that were best left to the gardener to look after rather than greedy young men in gelled hair and smart offices. All in all until a couple of years ago he seemed … well … rather old fashioned and more than a little dull. Now of course he is being hailed as a genius, when in fact he is not doing anything different from what his father and his grandfather and many earlier generations of his family have done. And don’t expect him to alter his way of life (he does not have a “lifestyle”) just because the winds of change are now blowing in his direction, he still continues in the time-honoured fashion, growing his roses, bidding for old master drawings at auction and waking up every morning at six thirty and getting into one of his dark suits and setting off to work.
