So we arrive at Heathrow and there is no Piccadilly line. We then scramble for buses, trains, taxi’s and push bikes. Amazingly hiring a car is cheaper than a taxi but the hassle at the other end is not worth it.We are now on the train to Ealing.Why did I not leap on one of […]
Flying with #babybernie
I am now convinced that #babybernie is solar powered, so when we get to the sun his energy quota is off the scale. The best thing we do as a family is travel, taking him on a plane, up a mountain, eating new food and meeting new people is a never ending blast of fun. […]
I just can’t book a flight…..
I have to come clean about travel. I need someone to book the flight, make sure the passport is together and that we are at the right gate. Maybe it is some undiscovered trait of my dyslexia or maybe I am just not paying attention. When travelling on my own I am paralysed by fear […]
You have to have a dog
Until you have a solar powered child that chases cats, embraces dogs and has a sceptical relationship with donkeys you are not aware of how many of these creatures per a square metre there are in The Greek Islands. Also you not a real shop keeper if you don’t have a dog or cat hanging around the […]
Carlos the dog
#babybernie ran into Carlos on the way back from watching the sunset over the ocean. By now #babybernie had his routine worked out, he approached dogs with the confidence required to get a bit of respect. He’d learnt to take command of the situation. Really what was happening here was Carlos was wise to the […]
Shopping for tourists
I was chatting to a nice man that owned a hotel and he said that high season is hell. All the tourist come then. Of course me and my gang are travellers not tourists. I suggested that I like going on holiday but don’t like tourists, even in my home town of London I look at […]
Two chairs and a motorbike
It seems that you just are not playing the game here in Chania if you don’t have a small table with two chairs and a motorbike outside your shop or cafe. I was starting to think that maybe everyone has this apparatus because there is a grant from the local government for chair and table […]
Getting ready for Sumner
When I wake up and walk round this town I am reminded of the line in Kim by Kipling that ends something like “India was awake and Kim was in the middle of it!” The paragraph before describes parrots tooting, doors opening, trains moving and general hustle and bustle. Everyone in Chania is on a […]
The little red cup
This is what I drink Yerba Matè from (Argentine tea) and this little red one is the latest addition to our collection. It is really important. 1. it is from our friend in Argentina. 2. it arrived on the eve of two life changing weeks for me. 3. It is a new habit. Life changing […]
So tell me ten things about your business….
Why do you do what you do? How did you get into it? Who have you helped best? What are the things to watch out for in your industry? What mistakes do people make when buying your product or service? What else should they look at? What else is there in the marketplace they could […]

If I was to make a music video it would be this! Walk the Moon – Anna Sun
Just for the record…
I have just have to write something today. I am on a train, it is ear split-tingly early and I was meant to be asleep. In fact I have an hour before I arrive and I really need a nap. However travel is energising, I am looking out the window at the country rushing by and my […]
We don’t care because we don’t have to.
It has taken 6 months of asking, arguing, chasing, tweeting, emailing and texting to get an answer the differs from “computer says no” from Talk Talk. The quick story is that after finally being out in touch with the CEO via a contact I was “heard”.Then the problem was sorted in less than thirty minutes […]
