The Media Snacker Respect meme started by Jerimiah Owyang is now at my blog courtesy of Beth Kanter who tagged me. I’m not the biggest fan of meme’s but this one did make me stop and think as it’s made me aware of our shift into how we’re using social media tools to get [...]

Those of you who know my little vibrant Oliver, will know that he loves music and as well as wanting to be a ‘restaurantman’ (his own words!) when he’s bigger, running a neat cafe that Jamie Oliver would be proud of…he also wants to be a rock star too.

He loves YouTube no end (funny pet videos and clips of the Simpsons are his faves!) so he wanted this up for you to see…
This afternoon, I dropped Oli off to one of his friends birthday parties. Nearby to the venue, is a fabulous old fashioned sweet shop, so Ralph and I popped in to get some sweets. Now, I am not known for having a sweet tooth, but my heart melted when up on the top shelf….can you believe it – Mojo’s and banana ones at that too!
