I’ve failed! Despite all the best intentions, I haven’t kept our website up to date.

With Play d’eau bringing us safely home to Beaucette on 26 September 2013 after a glorious 980nm summer cruise, the plan was to post at least one update a week. Have I achieved this? No. Only one, and I’ve been making all the excuses known to mankind.

There’s an old expression that I’ve used so often when mentoring businesses, “We judge ourselves by our intentions, yet we judge others by their actions.” Need I say more?

So, no excuses – but just in case…

Our dear friends John and Beryl came to see us for a week; our son Diccon and wife Charlotte brought their two children, Oscar and Maia, to see us for another week; I was asked to fly to the Middle East for a fortnight to survey some Double First schools; I attended METS 2013 in Amsterdam; du Pré (Guernsey) Ltd was contracted to produce a new website for Beaucette Marina which went live just before Christmas.

And, we celebrated Christmas for the first time with no family which actually turned into an endless party with many Beaucette liveaboards having ‘open boats’ and sore heads, including Play d’eau; it was Lin’s 65th birthday; January was taken up with creating another new website for Beaucette Restaurant and Lin had two days in Amsterdam to meet with her sister from Australia.

Lin’s 65th birthday

Lin’s birthday? An important one, but how to celebrate it? Aha! That’s the subject of the next post.
