My new website is almost ready and I plan to launch it next week. After advice from friends, family and thanks to Phil Deem, Exeter Business Support I’ve added missing information and I think it looks good. I have gone for the paid version, so there is plenty of room for photos! I will let …
Apologies for my absence of posts, I’ve only just come out of holiday mode! I had a lovely week in Spain, despite the rain for 4 days it was at least warm. Those that follow me on twitter will have seen the incredible fog, for those that didn’t here it is: Although I’ve not blogged …
