This lovely quote from Randolph Hodgson who owns the Neal's Yard Dairy in Covent Garden, in an interview with him and his wife Anita Leroy (who runs my favourite London cafe and hideaway The Monmouth Coffee Company) in the Guardian magazine yesterday. These two people really care about what they do, and do it really well.

"I was once approached by a man from a very big company who wanted to invest a lot of money to expand the business, and I said, 'Why would I want to do that?' He said, 'To give you an exit strategy, so you can do the things you like doing.' I told him I was already doing the things I like doing, and that my exit strategy is death."
