Feeding the Future…
The first blog of 2012 and some months since I have found the time to do what I really should be undertaking on a monthly basis. My Web Expert, will be looking at this and saying, look we can do this for you to keep you up to day, but in all honestly I feel [...]
Our New Charity…
Most people in business will be aware of the ongoing requests for donations and adverts that then go towards helping a charity. We get calls all the time and I often wonder how much money will be going to the charity after all the costs have been taken out for adverts etc. so we have [...]
Plums
