A vibrant, pulsing energy, that's what Gilly Montgomery created last night, at the launch of her CommunitySoul Business Group, sponsored by Goldbrick House. 

When I find myself in an energy like this ideas start flowing and it's because of this Jo often says I shouldn't be let out after 6pm - especially when it keeps me wide eyed all night!

Some of the ideas were inspired by Dr. Sue Barley with her presentation on Creating Wealth through Entrepreneurial Flow - her talks always spark something.

And it was great to see such a lovely bunch of people out mingling. Catelynn from the Skipton Building Society was our second financial institution of the week to network with us - Julie Urch from HSBC (the best in her region at what she does) was the first in Bath -  that's the first bank in two years to join us! I had put money on it (albeit 50p)that Triodos would be first to join us, simply because our values line up, but it just shows how wrong I can be (come on Triodos, catch up). 

At our meetings I  love finding how people niche themselves. If there was a prize it would have to go to Bella and Fifi last night - though I might be bias!

As you probably know, Jo and I are getting married next month and our Bristol hosts, Gilly and Sandra McKenna who runs our Easton Business Group joined forces on a gift of the most beautiful flowers, via Bell and Fifi. 

Bella and Fifi's flowers are the local, ethical, organic and seasonal variety and you can see the girls clearly pour heart, soul and care into their work. Before they left last night they even took the flowers from a vase and wrapped them for my journey home - so they didn't get damaged - now that's what I call after sales service! 

Looking forward to many more great groups and getting to know everyone better. Next up Frome. Until then...

Enjoy the rain - it is Glastonbury Music Festival weekend!
