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 [...]
SFHP heads back to The Sock Drawer
Friday, August 8th, 2008There’s been many benefits of SFHP relocating to an idyllic Swedish Island for a few weeks, and one has the been the farmhouse in which we’ve enjoyed many a long discussion over green tea and umpteen cakes. But with the farmhouse, came the farm next door, and with the farm next door came the frolicking [...]

I guess it’s what you do on when there’s 43 of you on a tour bus…
What’s the difference between a courgette and a sock?
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Whoa! I’ve just picked the biggest courgette ever (in my life at least) from the Farther-in-Law’s garden here in Sweden. Look at the flippin’ size of it!
This locally grown fairly traded (and free!) beauty is also organic, which means no pesticides or chemicals were used to help it grow to this ‘bigger than a bodybuilders [...]
Lights! Camera! Leisure Centre!
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Starting a company is a lot of fun, very testing at times, but mainly a lot of fun!
One of the joys of starting out is being creative on a tight budget with people you know and like, and others that you find out that you like, and still producing fantastic results . Here is a [...]

Email. Email. Email. Email. Another email. Christmas!
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008It’s a bit mind boggling how many emails we have sent and received in the process of setting up Socks for Happy People, but it certainly makes the physical parcels we receive very exciting!
This is a good example of that Christmas feeling as Tom holds aloft a sample of the recycled cotton waste cardboard that [...]
Barefoot Business
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Our development trip to India in December really helped us explore the array of opportunities to do ‘barefoot business’.
Yes. You did read that right: we’re a sock company…..interested in all things ‘barefoot’!
Thanks to EXDL’s contacts and organisational skills we were able to experience just how holistic and beneficial production and commerce can be.
We [...]
Marvellous memories made making magic missions
Friday, May 16th, 2008For being ‘creative’s’ we don’t half love the paper work….or should I say white board, flip chart, skype and beer mat work!
Creating the Visions and Missions that are at the heart of Socks for Happy People has been a very real process that is now starting to bear fruit.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have [...]
“Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?”
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Socks for Happy People F.C. had its first run out at a footie tournament in Surrey recently.
