Today, we went for a lovely walk. We are really lucky to have some lovely open countryside very close by. This is one of the things I really appreciate when I am here in the UK. Spain is very beautiful too, but in a different way. Paco has just learned...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 24
After one last snack sitting in a window near to Euston Station, we caught our train home earlier today. It has been a fantastic weekend. I took advantage of the 1 hour 30 minute train ride and read from my Kindle. I read a couple of stories from Chicken Soup For...

I love being in London! I woke up this morning excited to be going for breakfast in the hotel. There was such a fantastic choice, it was delicious! After breakfast we decided that we would spend the day wandering around Chelsea and then go to our lunch booking at...

What an amazing day! We travelled down to London on the train this morning. It's absolutely fantastic that we can be in the capital city in just an hour and a half! I love travelling by train, you can just switch off and relax. We just had time for a quick snack...

This morning we visited a wood that belongs to one of our friends and business colleagues. It was one of her dreams to own a piece of woodland and now she has realised that dream. It was so beautiful and peaceful there. We had bacon sandwiches by the fire and then...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 20
I can't believe that I am two thirds of the way through this 30 day blog! The days are flying by so quickly. However, I can certainly say that we are getting the most out of every day while we are here. Today was Carmen, one of our Spanish guests' 16th birthday. To...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 19
I have been out shopping yet again today, this time to the Trafford Centre in Manchester, with my mum, Sofia and her two Spanish friends. The girls wanted to go off by themselves so me and my mum had a leisurely wander around, it was lovely. Because of our last...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 18
I am going to be talking about goal setting in today's post, but first I want to explain what got me thinking about the subject of goal setting today. About 9 months ago, I purchased a Mulberry handbag that had been on my list of goals for quite some time. It was a...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 17
It has been a lovely sunny day here in Staffordshire. It was a chilled kind of morning, getting organised after the weekend away, catching up on phone calls, emails and so on. I have been looking through the book I bought at the weekend "How To Be Confident' by Anna...

I have had another amazing day at the farm. This morning we took a short drive to a small seaside town called Arnside. It is so long since I have been to the British seaside. I started to reminisce about family holidays as a child. We walked the dogs along the beach...

We spent quite a few hours on the road today but it was worth it when we arrived at Brackenthwaite Farm. We are staying here for the weekend to spend time with some good friends and business colleagues. The scenery is breathtaking and it is very peaceful. We all went...

Well if the perfect day exists, today was it! I was in London, my favourite place in the whole world and I was doing my favourite things. Travelling there were myself and Jaime, my daughter Sofia and her two Spanish friends, Sandra and Carmen. On the way, we stopped...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 12
I found myself today thinking about how life used to be for me when I let my shyness control how things worked out. I used to let my shyness really get in the way of what I wanted from my life. I always knew deep down that I wanted to be a success at something, and...
30 Days In The Life Of A Shy Entrepreneur – Day 11
