Sunday supper
Sunday supper, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. A few days of rest are putting a smile back on my face. Trying not to think about a 4.00am start tomorrow!
Honeydripper
Falmouth is a town that boasts, amongst many other things, a nationally recognised arts and media campus – so it’s no surprise that the only cinema in town is The Poly, which doubles an an art gallery and shows eclectic seasons, combining a few bestsellers (largely for the tourist visitors with bored kids) with the more obscure. [...]
5 degrees west
5 degrees west, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. My number one favourite eating and drinking place.
Franchises work
Franchises work, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. Here’s what I spotted on the counter at Costa Coffee. Its a system. In a box. So that the young store manager doesn’t have to reinvent any wheels. That’s the beauty of franchises. And it reminds me that there is a business opportunity in UK dentistry to sell similar [...]
Saturday morning
Saturday morning, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. On my way for a haircut (at Toni & Guy of course) and noticing how quiet the town is at 9.00am. Is this recession or last night’s partying?
Shake up
Shake up, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. Can’t resist a treat on the way back to my desk. The Shake Shop opened recently and carries so many flavours I am bewildered. I choose banana and honey. Interesting that every combination has its own name – products presented as processes.
My favourite Falmouth shop

Back in Falmouth and determined to re-charge my batteries over the next few weeks, I head here to see what’s new. Even here, they have a loyalty scheme and my purchases qualify me for a generous voucher. [...]
Dentistry is show business
Dentistry is show business, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. I want to thank John Ayres and all the team at Cowbridge Dental Care in South Wales for an excellent practice visit and team training day yesterday. They have converted a Georgian building, over a bakery on the High Street into a beautifully presented private practice – [...]
Breakfast in the basement
Breakfast in the basement, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. A rather unusual arrangement. 6 sad businessmen, sat in the cellar, waiting for two rather indignant Polish waitresses to serve cooked breakfasts as David Gray laments a life of loneliness on the hifi system. I should write a book about business travel.
The Bear Hotel
 The Bear Hotel, originally uploaded by coachbarrow999. Having escaped from London, I am now in Cowbridge, South Wales. I’m noticing some useful comments on the “PCT” post a few days ago – take a look. It’s my last day on the road – and I’m looking forward to an individual practice visit before the [...]
