Hi Everyone!
Well- what a month it has been-both from a personal and business perspective.
On the business front, we have had an interesting paradox-on the one hand our business has grown incredibly well throughout the summer and early autumn yet at the same time we experienced one of the worst IT catastrophes we have had in 15 years !!
Many of you will be aware that on 27 August we lost 57 websites !!!!
I won’t go into the horrific details, suffice to say that this was caused accidentally by a very experienced IT professional, making what can only be described as a 101 -classic mistake.
The good news is our IT team have been working constantly for the last month or so and have managed to restore a huge amount- under the leadership of our fantastic Webmaster Verge and project manager Xerxes- we would be lost without you guys !
We have also taken this opportunity to re-design and rebuild all of our main websites and also to do them in a way that is suitable for smart phones and tablets- something that we had been planning on doing but had never got around to – !- So I guess every cloud has a silver lining 🙂
On a personal level I took the whole of August off to be with my family- the weather here in Weymouth- ( that subtropical paradise in the South of England 😉 has been absolutely incredible – I even managed to spend quite a bit of time in my garden tending to my new hobby – growing fruit, vegetables etc- very meditative and relaxing and also going for many ride outs on my motorbike.
I’m also now beginning to plan next year’s – Adventure Motorbike Quest – although nothing is definite yet, I’m considering going across Turkey to Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, north of Iraq etc anyone fancy coming with me ??
WHAT NOW
