Colourful flowers hit the eye on leaving the back door of the cottage on the organic eco micro-holding (small smallholding), here in the UK heartlands, raising the spirits. Much growth all round this year with the trees, hedges, and lane borders all flourishing, and the crops here on the micro-holding all seemingly doing well, bar the onions, hit by pests again.
Getting away for a break was good, but having builders in mean't quite a bit of work to get back to, all helping to keep quite busy and get some of that satisfaction Kevin McLoud on UK TV talks about from 'doing and making'. Being able to change and rotate jobs helps stave off 'the dreaded ennui' - long periods doing the same thing could seem to be a recipe for boredom - ?
Customer experience/reaction may be important to longer term sales, as two examples could indicate. The large and powerful energy companies in the UK are being taken to task again, currently, erm, being charged with hitting the poorest sectors of society. One recent UK TV programme recently charged banks with over charging and restricting local authorities loans, affecting the provision of local community services.
