Across Europe




We went on a trip across Europe over Easter week and returned on Good Friday.

We started off near Birmingham and travelled to Dover where we crossed to Calais. The Channel Tunnel service is really efficient!

After we travelled across France, we went to visit a dear friend in Switzerland.

Then we went to Italy and took three to four days to travel down south.

A lovely break all in all.

Yet, only weeks later, I got a proposal for a very large project - to take over a business all of my own.  This would not have been the first time I branched out on my own but it wasn't going to be easy. "Challenging" is one way of wording it, I suppose, and the journey hasn't been some lazy river ride. Taking on the responsibility of two employees, one of whom has a child, is no mean feat. Neither is taking on a portfolio of new clients something to be overlooked. Summer flew by, and I must admit that the pressures haven't been easy to manage, least of all internal ones.  There comes a time when one has to take the bull by the horns, however, and to deal with such issues in the
