(Image: Rex) IF YOU look around you, everything you see that isn’t part of the natural world was the vision of an engineer or an architect.
Every power station, every road, every railway, every bridge, every mobile phone, every airliner, every piece of equipment and every sewage works owes its existence to an engineer. Great engineers have a passion to improve life; a burning conviction that they can make life better for everyone. Engineers need to have a talent for invention and innovation, but what drives them is the conviction that they can find a better way to do things; a cheaper and more efficient solution to the problems of human existence on this planet of limited resources that we call Earth.

Royal aides would not disclose where the Duchess had spent her break, but in the past she has visited a spa in India before tours to Asia and Australasia. New Zealand and Australia are two nations seemingly intent on shaking off ties to their colonial pasts, and even the local monarchists admit that “most people don’t know about the visit”.
