Broadband providers

Why do communictions get it so wrong?
I am still offline at home after a house move. My provider failed, even to look after an existing customer.
But, they are all bad. There seems to be a classic problem. To be successful you need to be big. You need the efficiencies. But, the bigger, the less customer service and satisfaction.
This means i am posting while on a train. Writing this like a text.

Sitting on the bus

This is the only chance i get to post there days. It is raining and i am on the way to the office. I have just read the Blog of some friends who are currently in Thailand. I need a holiday.

Snow in London

We woke up this morning to a wonderful winter wonderland. Overnight, it had snowed.
This is a picture of our house about 7am this morning.


The route to the train station was all snowy. With plenty of evidence of snow taken from cars for snow balls.


It was a real shame that it took nearly 3 hours to get to the office!

I am looking forward to try to get home !

Fing'ring'hoe !

I love living in the UK. We have such funny town and village names. In Essex at the weekend we found ourselves in a pub in the village of Fingringhoe. It is just me or does that sound funny??

Would you buy a beach house?

.... especially on the Essex coast line? We were down in Mersea on Saturday with friends and while waiting for our table at a little cabin that sells fresh seafood we took a walk down the beach.

It is was a blustery wintry January. There were lots of kite boarders (have to admit looked kind of cool) and some strong winds.

There seemed to have many people enjoying the day and big community of people who hang out on the beach. It was surprising considering the weather. But there were lots of people who live down there !

So, if you have a spare £15k, you can buy yourself a beach house - British style!
