Thursday, November 20th, 2008Last night I had the pleasure of meeting with two Kaos Pilots!
Rowan (from Denmark) and Zulma (from Columbia) have recently moved close by (with their adorable newborn Naira) having finished studying at the Arhus Kaos Pilot school in Denmark. They have clearly landed with a cargo packed full of really interesting and innovative ideas and [...]
Charles, happy at 60
Thursday, November 13th, 2008I didn’t know quite what to expect when I settled down to watch ‘Charles at 60′, though I had a vague idea that he is passionate about the environment and fairly active for a monarch.
But when the program ended I can say I was nothing less than inspired! Prince Charles seems to have committed the [...]
Socks for happy runners
Thursday, November 6th, 2008For being a bit of a sock expert I made a painful mistake yesterday. When getting my gladrags on for a run I hastily chose a different pair of socks to run in than my designated pairs, and have paid the price. Sure, they’re nice socks (by DePio) but they aren’t made for running. An [...]
Doom and Gloom and Happiness!
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Jackie, France - “My 10 year old daughter looked surprised that you should need a reason to be cheerful! She said life just makes her cheerful. Being happy makes other people happy so what more reason do you need?”

Questions for Gordon?
Friday, October 17th, 2008No, not the PM, he’s busy enough for the moment I think.
I met a happier Gordon through a bit of volunteering I’ve been doing recently. Gordon is a chirpy 73 year old with a real spring in his step, and I recently found out why. It turns out that he’s spent the majority of his [...]
Socks on Dragons Den!
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008For us, Dragons Den is a nice little bit of homework and it always gives us some fresh perspective on Socks for Happy People.
But last nights Dragons Den, episode 8 and the last in the current series, gave us the best perspective yet! It saw ‘Beyond Boil’, a business with an underlying social mission to [...]

Fair wind wine
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Ahoy Mi Hearties!! I see a great idea on the horizon! Sail ships, emitting one-seventh of the carbon emissions of traditional container ships, carrying goods and arriving there or thereabouts on time (depending on mother nature herself of course).
I think we’ll be getting in touch with the company behind ‘Fair Wind Wine’ or similar companies [...]
