Wishing everyone a peaceful, calm and beautiful December! I’ve been incredibly busy so I’m pushing to finish a couple of features next week and then I’m going to wind it all down until January and enjoy the festive season. Let’s do this! Xx

Congratulations to the team at Northwood Newcastle on their latest acquisition! I always enjoy writing success stories and this was my second press release of the year for these ambitious business owners!

The acquisition of Urban BASE is the second of 2024 and the third since the owners took on Northwood Newcastle in 2018.

Very proud of my client Kimberley, owner of TiddlyPom Creations - Bespoke Nappy Cakes & Gifts for stepping out of her comfort zone to do this interview that I managed to secure for her. Kimberley not only raised awareness of her baby gift business but also of Baby Loss Awareness Week, which was the catalyst for her starting the business thanks to a grant and support from The Prince’s Trust. ❤️

Can I help raise awareness of your business? Please get in touch if you would like to have a chat.

What a difference a year can make! I’m looking for a case study of someone who has maybe faced challenges with their dog during 2024 but has also enjoyed some fantastic success and has big plans for 2025. I don’t need anyone in heelwork to music as I’ve got a case study for that, and I’ve also got someone who has been studying and working hard in preparation to launch a new business but I need one more. Something a bit different… You guys are amazing - please email any ideas to [email protected], DM me or suggest someone (or yourself) in the comments.

Picture of my gorgeous guys to get your attention! Xx

I like to give back to the community where I can, and I have over the years given free PR support to new entrepreneurs who have received grants and mentoring from the Prince’s Trust. One of those businesses is TiddlyPom Creations - Bespoke Nappy Cakes & Gifts. This is a fantastic story of a brave lady who turned tragedy around and created a lovely little business in the process. It is Baby Loss Awareness week next week and my heart goes out to those affected.

I love a nice diary! Don’t get that sense of excitement with a digital version ☺️ I always take my time choosing the right one, and this rainbow coloured beauty made me happy. I wonder what the pages will be filled with in 2025? Hopefully a pot of gold awaits!

This makes me happy! I’m not one bit surprised this innovative owner has sold out in their first season. Love the idea of charging a flat rate of £99 per night all year round, whether that’s Christmas week or in the school holidays. I also love the flexible garden arrangement option if you are staying with family, friends and dogs! Looking forward to visiting here. ❤️❤️

Ho ho ho! It’s already Christmas in the world of magazines! I’m looking for really great dog-friendly holidays with a festive twist if you can help. It’s also industry awards season in the property world so let me know if you need help writing an entry! Busy times…

Such an interesting interview with Terry Szuplat on BBC1 Newsnight. He was a speechwriter for Barack Obama. No AI can ever compete with those skills, knowledge and human insight! ❤️

A very interesting project I’ve enjoyed being involved with recently about the many challenges that golf clubs around the country are facing. It is estimated that one in six clubs could be facing closure, but there are some very exciting, innovative solutions! https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/management-topics/custodian-golf-sees-urgent-need-for-change/ #:~:text=Custodian%20Golf%20has%20announced%20the,ensure%20its%20survival%20and%20growth.

I’ve included some gorgeous places in my dog-friendly holiday features for Your Dog and this is certainly one of them! Looks amazing! The Perfect Dog Friendly Lakeside Retreat

It’s utterly heartbreaking to have a pet stolen. They are part of the family, and the impact and trauma of the loss never stops for that family. My feature on the proposed new pet abduction bill is in the August edition of Your Dog magazine - on sale now. I have included a case study on Panzer, a young, much-loved German Wirehaired Pointer stolen from his home in Brandon, Lincolnshire last September. If you have any info please call Drone To Home on 0330 124 2004 or share this post. Thank you x
