Your local bookshop

With all the talk about Borders and Angus & Robertson going into receivership it has made me think about local bookstores.

Wouldn't it be a shame if all the bookstores disappeared. It's one thing to buy a book online but it is also a lot of fun sifting through shelves and discovering books you weren't aware of. There is plenty of space for e-books, internet shopping and local shops. I love Bookoccino in Avalon (www.bookoccino.com). It has a fantastic cafe, wonderful books and really friendly staff.

Happy Days!

At long last I have taken the plunge and decided to start up my own marketing consultancy for small businesses. In my case this is a much better solution than working for someone else as I try to juggle the whole small kids in pre-school/year 1 and working thing. My facebook page is up and running, my website is published (albeit with a few tweeks required) and I am raring to go! Now to find some work.

Stay tuned ...
