I wrote recently in Unexpected Pleasures about how wonderful it is when something good happens that you haven’t had to work or push for. It’s a salutary reminder that life doesn’t have to be a struggle! I also love it when out of the blue an answer arrives to a question you have been puzzling [...]
One of the major problems of working from home is that being in the same place all the time makes it very difficult to get any perspective on challenging issues and you can end up tearing your hair out. I speak from experience! So I’ve been trialling the Work from Home Audit, which is a [...]
I’m really excited to have another venue for Jelly, the beautiful and quirky Glove Factory Studios at Holt near Bradford-on-Avon. They are described as a contemporary renovation of an industrial heritage building and have to be experienced – the website has some lovely pictures, but you have to be there to appreciate the place, which [...]

I have been posting on the EN forum for a while and exchanging the occasional tweet with Emma Jones, the site’s [...]
The telephone seems to be the the theme of today. I was here at the keyboard this morning ready to tell you about the teleseminar I’m doing next week with Inspired Entrepreneur founder Nick Williams, when I received a tweet telling me Radio Bristol were doing a phone-in on working from home at that very [...]
BBC iPlayer is a fab invention. Not only can I catch up with Spooks – completely riveting on a laptop – on the evenings A is out at Ki Aikido, but I can hear the radio programmes I would otherwise miss. I’ve just been listening to You and Yours on Radio 4 about how work [...]

I had my first shot at live radio last week when I was invited on BBC Radio Somerset’s Morning Show with Emma Britton. Emma travels around the county on the BBC Somerset Bus, but I was away when it came to the Frome area, so I drove to the studio in Taunton to talk about [...]
We’re presently trying to find out where to host some audio clips I want to put on the site, with little progress to date.
