Hey all

Sorry I've been a bit useless with keeping this updated lately. Its been a bit hectic in the Pepper office with a whole lot going on and some big plans that we are busy working on. We are loving the feedback form all of you so please keep it coming!


So I am back in South Africa now, busy finalising all the details for what promises to be an amazing launch trip kicking off at the end of January. Managed to get out of England just in time, cos it was starting to get a bit cold there for my liking. It's amazing to be back in the sun in South Africa! Its also amazing to be part of a world cup winning country! Don't worry guys, second best in the world isn't too bad :) This is the first and last time I'll mention the rugby in this blog cos I know it's a painful subject for many of you, specially Johnny at the Pepper office but here goes...


World Cup fever is still high in SA and its a really unbeleivable place to be right now with a real buzz in the air! It's pretty good to be back here for a few months....hope you guys are gearing up for winter over there..remember theres always the option of joining us for some good times in the sun over next year so give the Pepper office a call on 0800 030 4207 if it sounds good to you.

later....Vince

Back to School!

Monday 1 October 2007

Its pretty hard to believe but summer is finally over and schools and uni's are back! We've just kicked off the new term with a trip up to the Scottish highlands. Visited a few spectacular schools up there and took advantage of some fly-fishing and a visit to a few whisky distillerys. Was a great few days. The highlands are unbelievably beautiful! If you haven't been up that way, I highly recommend a little visit.

Meanwhile summer is starting to pick up in South Africa and the group for our January 3 Month Experience is slowly gearing up for the big launch on January 29th!
