I am very fortunate in being asked to interview a huge number of interesting people and sometimes that means travelling distances, but the bonus is views like this. Most small businesses are fascinating when you have the chance to peek inside and then tell their story. A farmer who's discovered a business in selling Christmas baubles online is going great guns. An honour to interview some of the team.

Joining Entrepreneurs Circle was something I hesitated over. Basically, the cost put me off. I joined our local group last month and have already gained business which covers the cost for the next three months. Tonight was a much more productive meeting for me, given a deeper understanding of the organisation's intentions and practices. I felt inspired and leaving the venue - The Sun hotel in Hitchin - there was a spring in my step. Plans are afoot for improving my business. Exciting times. Posted via my iPad

The sky was so blue today and if I could have ignored the autumnal temperature, it could have been August. Looby Loo enjoyed long walks this weekend - yesterday's squeezed in between showers - and she seems to be unharmed by the firework scare last week. The end of a busy couple of weeks and I feel ready to start the week ahead after some sunshine and some exercise. Posted via my iPad

Today is the anniversary of my car crash, which began several months of pain, prescription drugs, discomfort and a lot of medical care. The decision I have made is not to be morbid and look back on what happened on this day a year ago and feel sorry for myself. It's twelve months I'd quite like to forget, really. I'm over it now and after a number of scares that could have turned out a heck of a lot worse, I'm glad - VERY glad - I'm where I am today. That is all.

I enjoyed writing this blog and look forward to seeing the film on Friday.

Florence and I had a choice of breakfast providers this morning and we opted for one of our local restaurants, that has just started serving breakfast on Saturday and Sunday The Hermitage Road Eggs Benedict was just delicious and adds another venue to the growing list of places to eat locally. Nice!

Long may it continue.
