I met Chris Packham November 2, 2009
Yes, I attended Sussex Wildlife Trust AGM , where he gave an amazing inspirational speech and was so cute and adorable ! His views on todays children and how important it is that they have experience of nature is so spot on and matches all my views why we set up the shop.

High Street V side street May 26, 2009
Hello,
Discussion with my business link mentor made me think – a recent vacancy of shop on chichester High Street – should I move ? The move would need finance but I just know we can crack the cost it if we were more visible ? Our footfall is low so all my fantastic customers make an effort to come & see us but what about those spontanuous shoppers, people who want a present but don’t know what exactly – so seeing our window provides that inspiring moment. I have sooo many ideas, how fantastic the shop could look but will the bank bite?
Let me know what you think…

Spring into action…. got viral flu instead ! April 8, 2009
Hello ,
There I was saying spring into action and the very next day , big headaches, progressed to very high temperature, very weird (and no doubt delirious) dreams about my place in the living order and next minute so cold my teeth clattered for nearly an hour- everything and I mean everything shaked – don’t get it – viral flu. 4 days later I am checking into the world again – No cold or cough just plain horrible , now left quite lethargic so any ideas how to boost my energy ??
Spring into action April 4, 2009
Spring is in the air, and we (my eight year old daughter is in the shop with me today – we are truly a family business! ) are just about to change our window hoping to encourage less choccy egg buying! Instead, why not plant seeds and see the results long after the chocolate has been digested! I love chocolate and we are not saying no to chocolate but less would be great combined with something that really celebrates spring.

Published Date: 25 March 2009 – Chichester Observer
IT WAS an evening to remember for businesses in the area as the winners of the Observer Business Awards 2008 were announced. There were tears of joy and several people were too shaken to give their thank-you speeches at the awards ceremony at the Hilton Avisford Park Hotel. All businesses and representatives were treated to a champagne reception and meal before host for the evening Fred Dinenage took to the stage. After many cheers (and a few boos at Observer editor Colin Channon’s jokes), the crowds watched in awe as a fantastic firework display lit the skies.
“Well done to all of the winners, it was a fantastic evening to remember,” said Mr Channon. ”There were some winners who were just so overcome with emotion, and this is what the awards is all about. ”Congratulations again to everyone who came. I look forward to next year’s awards.” All of the winners and those highly commended for each category had their pictures taken. A souvenir Observer Business Awards 2008 supplement of all the winners will also be printed. Observer marketing manager Dianne Gill said: “Thank you so much to the Hilton Avisford Park Hotel, to all those businesses who entered and to all of the sponsors. ”Fred was just brilliant and had everyone in stitches. I am so pleased for all of the winners.”
