I’ve found the last year or so quite tough. Being very much at my best around people, lockdown was something I was never going to get used to. Working from home may work well for some, but albeit quite fun at first, the novelty wore off pretty quickly. Don’t get me wrong, I put as much effort into my business … Read More
Biking Staycation
Every year, a bunch of friends and I cock our legs over our motorbikes and head off, usually somewhere warm like France or Spain. Now, although we’re all double jabbed, we didn’t relish the potential problems crossing borders, so decided to stay in the UK. The decision was the West Coast of Ireland. We watched the weather closely and it … Read More
In The Finals!
Great news today, with Adapt named as finalists for not one, but three categories in this years awards event. This is well known as THE event of the year, held at the prestigious Hurlingham Club in Chelsea. Attended by hundreds of the industry greats, the event is held during the day and is usually blessed with good weather. Later than … Read More
I Needed That!
Well, I said I felt guilty having a mini break after such a long ‘lay off’ during the Coronavirus pandemic, but once there I have to say it was just what the doctor ordered.

Month End Meeting
Every month, as close to the end as possible, all the Adapt team try to get together, which has been a challenge during lockdown, but today (30th April), we were able to meet outside, so chose Spinningfields in Manchester city centre. I arrived first at 11:51am and the photo shown depicts the scene from what is normally one of the … Read More
Getaway Booked!
We’ve all been locked down for over a year now (yes I know there have been odd spells of normality) and one thing I have missed are holidays. Now, the ‘rules’ are still not clear on overseas travel and whatever the UK government guidelines reveal, other countries may not agree, so for me it remains up in the air. What … Read More
No Stopping Us Now!
What has to be one of the most important aspects of any development project is the site ablutions! Today the toilet was installed into the mains and we now have happy workmen. Simple pleasures…
Barn Restoration Update
Quick update after a visit to the barn project today and a nice day it was too! The scaffolding really makes it look like a project now and the contractors have started putting the roof together. There is a mix of timbers to be restored and ones to be renewed. The stone external walls have had a clean and already … Read More
Hobby Addition
Most people know I’m a bit of a watch nerd and although I don’t really buy too many these days, I was pleased to pick this up recently. I used to have quite a few in my military collection, but interest changes and watch collectors tend to through all sorts of different phases. The strap bars on this type of … Read More
