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”

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”
Reflection
It’s been a while. Through lack of idea, time or habit it’s been a while since I started a blog. To the dozen people who used to read my thoughts and rants, my apologies. Let’s see if I can still do this… As the light of “normality” begins to break through the dark clouds ofContinue reading “Reflection”
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 ….”
What Does The Future Hold?
At some point last week I was asked a question, a poignant question, but one that my answer was unsure of and was pure speculation. As much as the current climate causes unpredictability, trying to guess the behaviour of people has become even harder so as my inner monologue continued, the end of those thoughtsContinue reading “What Does The Future Hold?”

The week for all purposes has been quieter, but that brings its own stresses, anxieties but if you change your outlook there are some positives to be had. This blog has always been about honest views and opinion, this is aContinue reading “A Quieter Week!”
The Step into the Unknown week 1
As Monday began so did another chapter in this book that is building your own business. A week ago I had security of a minimum wage job in supermarket crowd control, a Sunday roast business that was at its maximum and involved early mornings late nights, and I had a life that wasn’t really working.Continue reading “The Step into the Unknown week 1”
Time to take a risk
Last Sunday morning the sun hit my face to wake me from my slumber, the first thought is my boy. My eldest lad turns 7 and it was his day. As I fully open my eyes I am hit by it, an invisible wave came over me and it feels like I’ve been hit byContinue reading “Time to take a risk”
SOLD OUT
WE SOLD OUT and it felt bloody great. Then as the anxiety started to build, the mind started racing about every little detail, the day dreaming commenced and the energy became electric, this was the shot. Last Monday, I put on social media a menu for Sunday Roast dinners. The idea behind it was byContinue reading “SOLD OUT”
A Taste of that Work Life Balance
As the evening sky becomes dark, the kids are fast asleep, I am given a moment of peaceful reflection and serenity. Alright serenity is a bit much but I’ve got peace and quiet, a cup of tea and a few chocolate hob nobs so life seems perfect. Normally its a Polish vodka on ice orContinue reading “A Taste of that Work Life Balance”
