Have you picked up any new habbits during lockdown? Good, or bad?! Our team had a talk this morning on mental wellbeing and building positive habbits. It was fantastic!

I've wanted to host workshops for a blimmin long time. I can't wait to get in to this. Excel will never have been so much fun!

Please support the independent businesses of #Taunton as much as possible in next 3 days. Once lockdown is here, please consider what online, takeaway or click & collect offers they have too. It has been a tough year and they need your support. #discoverbathplace #shoplocal

I expect more clarity from the government on how much businesses can claim in grants due to the national lockdown. There are lots of small schemes running alongside each other at the moment and I believe that these will be simplified before Thursday.

It was awesome to be asked to host a room on the @chambersomerset networking call this afternoon. Was a great event - as ever! Think it went okay?! @alistair_scoc @SalBean83
