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”

The elusive Work Life Balance
In writing this I don’t mean to upset anyone, judge how you choose to spend your time, question your ambition or frankly make you think I care how “you do you”. As long as you try to do the right thing on occasion without being a dick, then you are alright in my book. NowContinue reading “The elusive Work Life Balance”
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”
Compounding your mum
Yes, I admit it is a silly and crude title, but it’s a hook point (a concept I once read about, it gets your Attention whilst mindlessly scrolling ). It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged, far too long in fact. It’s not apparent that it’s been missed by anyone though, in fact IContinue reading “Compounding your mum”

After announcing it to my customersContinue reading “Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021”

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”
No One To Hire
We are at a strange time, a time that contradicts itself in many ways and one that could define the hospitality industry for years to come. As restaurants, bars and pubs begin to reopen outdoor areas, pop ups are being arranged, everybody starts to think of staycations and weekends away everything feels positive, like theContinue reading “No One To Hire”
The positive side of mistakes
“I made a mistake”, four words, four little words that have the power to be self destructive or self motivating. The pain and embarrassment will still be the same but the outlook and direction of recovery will vary completely on which path is chosen. This week hasn’t gone my way financially. From car repairs, toContinue reading “The positive side of mistakes”
And breathe ….
As the sun lowers in the sky and the rose coloured warmth of sunset touches the light blue sea, my exhale becomes longer, my body begins to unwind and life it seems, is very good. The beach is within feet of the house, the sound of waves breaking fills the air, as I gaze outContinue reading “And breathe ….”
