Having a lovely time – wish you were here!

Whether it’s skiing, with those beautiful, snowy white, crystal mountains or somewhere hot and sunny with golden sandy beaches and turquoise seas – a trip away in February is just sooo... good for the soul. SmallBiz hasn’t aspired to such exotic locations but has nevertheless taken a half-term break with the family whilst still working. I probably shouldn’t advertise but if I say tropical swimming complex with a Dutch background and lots of eco-friendly stuff, that might give it away a bit. Can I also say the Lakes! I can’t believe I’ve left it so long to come back – memories of student trips from Newcastle Uni with the Outdoor Ed students probably shouldn’t be revisited here, but Keswick, Ambleside, Grasmere, Rydal – just fantastic, beautiful scenery. SmallBiz also went youth hostelling here at the tender age of 16; ‘nuff said.

Anyway, I digress. The point is, I’ve got Wi-Fi here in the lodge, back-up at HQ (Microsoft, Reading) and a Windows mobile phone – all I need to work remotely. You too can have this, with hosted online services (remote working that is – can’t promise the luxurious surroundings). You don’t need a multi-national corporation behind you, just a smartphone and a Microsoft Partner providing the services you need – nothing more. Take a look and get a free 30-day trial.
