Family gathering in Dovedale

Family gathering in Dovedale

It was Grandad's 80th. They live in Chester. We are in London. So we thought a great place to meet would be the Peak District. Beautiful scenery, good walks and a very pleasant place to stay.  Our rooms at the Isaak Walton Hotel looked out over a wonderful landscape. We could see people clambering up and down the hill like ants. All working hard.

Not really a title I would expect to find myself below but Fount London, a new lifestyle destination concept, housed in 3 railway arches in East London, cool childcare, pop up shops, vibrant cafes and retail units, founded by Rachel Munro-Peeples and Elena Mackey, asked me to take part in a talk about entrepreneurs and networking. I joined the panel with Gayle and Cat from Hustle and Fox and Lisa from TantrumXYZ. Initially I thought this was a rather odd subject for a chat. I don't network.
