Over the weekend I’ve been reading about Nicholas Carr’s book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember. I’m not surprised to learn that the average Briton spends almost half their time looking at a screen (computer, television or phone). As home workers we might spend even more than [...]
Last week I mentioned a public speaking event being run by Triumphant Events, whose talks and workshops I’ve gained a huge amount of both information and inspiration from. Today I thought you’d like to hear about a mini retreat being held in London next week by my friend and mentor Nick Williams, who has helped [...]

You may have read my posts banging on about how wonderful coworking and Jelly are, and wondered what on earth actually happens there, and what you could take along to do. I know I was a bit puzzled before my first Jelly in Bath, because I work alone in my home office, and I couldn’t [...]
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 [...]
