It is with great sadness we report the death of our Viking warrior, Allan. Thank you to Jane Wickenden for the translation of the last lines of Beowulf, that says it all for us.

UPDATE: Allan's funeral is on Friday 11 August 2023, 12.30pm at Hitcham Church where Allan will be buried. If you are coming to celebrate his life, we hope that you will be bright and summery (or sensible if wet). There will be some flowers from the family but donations to St Nicholas' Hospice may last longer. Parking in Fen Lane. Refreshments after in the Village Hall.

If you're a member, don't miss this - if you're not a member (yet) then this is a darned good reason to join; especially if networking meetings aren't practical for you.

🚀The Stowmarket Chamber Community Connection launches on Friday with a Facebook Live on the Stowmarket Chamber page at 1 pm on 1st July.
➡️Launch: Stowmarket Chamber Community Connection

✅The Chamber is launching it as part of our commitment to Champion, Connect & Communicate the best ideas to help local businesses thrive.
✅We recognise that some members can’t attend meetings, so we wanted to create an online space for this. Something dynamic for local businesses who are members of the Chamber.

Time for the big reveal - on International Women's Day it's been my pleasure and privilege to work as an editor on the 'Inspiring Women' project - 21 deeply personal stories from women who have overcome all obstacles to achievement. Get the book for yourself - or as a gift for the inspiring women in /your/ life. Proceeds to the Malala Fund, to empower the inspiring women of the future, so please share the heck out of this post!

Exciting times. Tomorrow - International Women's Day - watch for an announcement here...

Happy Christmas! This is a piece we performed at the carol service in our village church yesterday - a medieval carol, played on a tenor crumhorn, an early Renaissance 'wind cap' instrument. It has a double reed (similar to an oboe's) under the cap - hence the 'angry duck' sound.... 🙂

We're launching a new product - short, low-cost videos for your website or for social media posts. With permission, here's one of our first - for Performance Plus, who help businesses achieve ISO certification. It's a lot more entertaining than that sounds... :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOGYZGFjGOk

Keeping them happy. Clients can often be demanding and meeting their expectations will always call for detailed effective planning. It's vital not to become ...

I could write books - that got published. I could write corporate video scripts that some of the UK's largest companies would pay good money for. I could write speeches for top people - like high street bank CEOs. But the world was still changing. So - at 52 what could I do that I hadn't done before...? https://millhousemedia.co.uk/running-keep-up-skills/

Ever felt that everything's changing too fast for your skills to keep up? Or that new tech is a crime against nature? Then you're getting old...!

At Mill House Media we love digital tech - because I pretty much embraced it at the first possible opportunity. It's how I grew, developed, and changed my first freelance business - but I soon learned that I had to keep ON changing...! https://millhousemedia.co.uk/change-futureproof-business/

A futureproof business? There ain't no such animal - because the future is changing all the time. And you can't guess right every time...

Last week I described how a new technology - home video - threatened the business I was working in. To the extent that within a couple of years they had to 'pivot' (to use a modern term) into a whole new product line. But my response was a little different - because for me, it presented a wonderful opportunity... https://millhousemedia.co.uk/embracing-change/

Embracing change can be much more than a survival mechanism in business. It can open up new opportunities, new directions, and new levels of satisfaction.

We're living through a time of change. But then, there's nothing new about that! Here's the first of a series of articles telling the story behind Mill House Media (because, after all, stories are what we do best...) https://millhousemedia.co.uk/all-change/

Change is always with us, especially when it's driven by new technology. So a business model which worked well last year may not be fit for purpose today...

I'll be there (as a participant) today - and I'd welcome your company. Still (just) time to book, or join us when I'm hosting tomorrow!

My favourite proofreader has written a book. And knowing her as I do, it is very well worth reading...

If only you could have a proofreader on standby! Pernickety Kate's new book might be the next best thing...

A quirky, information-packed guide to the most common confusing words (not the ones you will hardly ever use). Quick Fix tips for when you're in a hurry. Further in-depth explanation and loads of examples to help you remember in the long term. Quizzes to challenge yourself. Direct, light-hearted style - you won't need a linguistics degree to understand it.

All this and a few pictures too, because... well, why not?

Wrong Words and How to Right Them costs just £6.95 - here's the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08WJPN146?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860
