After a full call-in day with telephone client calls (from the car) I arrived in Reading last night and at the glamorous Renaissance Reading Hotel – I’m joking, of course. One of those places that was probably quite funky when it was opened in the 70’s but Reading has moved south since then, as evidenced

Just about to start a call-in day (from my car as I drive to Reading for the first of 3 workshops this week). But the blogging habit is so embedded that I have to write “something”. So the question I ask myself is: “What happened to me yesterday, personally or professionally, good or bad, that

First of all I want to recommend the Crowne Plaza hotel here at ExCel – the accommodation was first class, facilities funky, modern, contemporary (just how I like it) and the customer service was consistently excellent throughout.

A rather better view from today’s hotel window – of the great Labour white elephant, The Millenium Dome, and Canary Wharf behind it. I’m here for three days, ostensibly to visit the Dental Showcase at the amazing ExCel Conference and Exhibition Centre, although I’m not at all sure when I will finally make it through

The legends of many cultures see the rainbow as a kind of bridge between heaven and earth. One of the most beautiful sights in nature, the rainbow has become in western culture a symbol of renewed hope; something lucky to look upon. Two successive nights of very poor sleep have left me feeling very drained

The view from my hotel room window this morning – The Holiday Inn at Glasgow Airport. Inspirational isn’t it – after I’ve been writing in the ezine and blog about “environments” this week?
