It’s peak season, the hours are big and we are making hay while the sun shines, and I’m also drinking more so take that for what it’s worth. I’ve managed to give myself a day off today, the narrative being to rest. The problem is, not doing any of the 300 jobs needed around theContinue reading “You can’t stop a hailstorm”

After 4 years owning a Food van what have I learnt
Sometime last week we hit the milestone of four years, whilst this is a nice moment, to be honest it doesn’t mean anything in the scheme of things. On reflection, I still feel new to the space, the world of business and still feel far from a success. Now don’t get this twisted, this isn’tContinue reading “After 4 years owning a Food van what have I learnt”
The season of “going to work”
Maybe it’s time to write down a few thoughts, the nights are getting colder, the air is crisper, the summer sun seems a distant memory. As the leaves change colour and the seasons change so does the business cycle of this small business. The summer season has been and gone and the time to regroupContinue reading “The season of “going to work””
Sometimes it’s just a hard week
Originally I typed this blog after a hard week, one where I was ready to just give up. The truth is it was just a way to get a few things of my chest and rant. Like the process of writing an angry letter and never posting it (make sure you don’t post them!). ItContinue reading “Sometimes it’s just a hard week”
Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021
As the world celebrates the passing of the old and the potential of the new, I am a prisoner of my own surroundings. After testing positive for Covid 19, and following government guidelines and have been in isolation from after just Christmas to the first few days of 2022. After announcing it to my customersContinue reading “Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021”
A Question of work?
So as the grains of sand fall through the life glass, another week has past in the blink of an eye. As we now approach December, life will become warp speed and a bit of a blur. As the frost covers the cars, the grass crunches under foot and the morning air is crisp it’sContinue reading “A Question of work?”
Starting the Van
As we emerge from our first fortnight of van season it’s the perfect time for some reflection and to take stock of the highlights and lessons to keep stepping forward. Once the Sunday dinner season ended it became go time for the van. It was time to walk the walk, week one was a FridayContinue reading “Starting the Van”
“That’s Time at the Bar”
Yesterday, the first minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, has announced a new series of restrictions in order to quell the resurgence of the spread of covid. Less than a month after the end of a firebreak that was brought in to reduce the ‘R’ number to something more manageable we had a new stricter announcement.Continue reading ““That’s Time at the Bar””
The Universe Knows Best
It’s funny, but sometimes the smallest moment can change your mindset. A moment that is insignificant in many ways, I had been in the down cycle of energy, that made me more reflective which is never a bad thing, but the picture seemed more pessimistic than optimistic and although we were getting by I hadContinue reading “The Universe Knows Best”
Finding the time
Where does my week go?. This is the prevelant thought every Sunday night. As the grains of sand speed through the hour glass of life and it is both humbling and terrifying. Another week goes by and suddenly 2020 seems to have gone by in a flash. Soon it will be over and a newContinue reading “Finding the time”
