Nice makeover for the Castle
There’s a pub/hotel in Aberaeron called The Castle, never liked it much myself, but it’s just had a makeover and in fact it’s just had a great makeover. It’s definitely not just a lick of paint either. Great design, great colour schemes, good lighting and comfy furniture. Accompanied by good beer, it’s now a really…
Regeneration by Retail – Come off it
I’ve just spent a weekend in West Wales and heard a lot of people talking about a proposal to regenerate part of Aberystwyth. It involves the compulsory purchase of 15 surviving, and therefore probably reasonably successful, small businesses and their premises so that they can be bundled in with the empty Woolworths and converted into…

Networking online – “no time for that stuff”
Someone told me yesterday that they didn’t have any time for online networking and I found that a bit strange and it set me wondering why or how she got to that view. Is it because she likes to judge people on what she sees? The old “first impression” stuff. Or is it that voices…
Online Networking – it’s a party!
When you go out to a “real” networking event, do you go to have a good time, maybe even expecting a good time. Or do you avoid contact, or maybe even hide in the corner. Well I reckon you probably go there with a “let’s get too it” attitude. And you work the room. You…
