I want to be an entrepreneur. I have seen all of these young fillies on Instagram selling their tie-dyed t-shirts and their sailor pants, and I have decided that I want a slice of that cool gang pie.

We are in Thailand, Chiang Mai to be exact. Anyone who is anyone knows that Chiang Mai is not just the home to very bendy people who love to show off by balancing each other on their big toes in the local park, but it is also home to a mass of entrepreneurs, digital nomads, bloggers, web designers, online techy guru people who sit in coffee shops all day pretending to look very important

I have decided that I, too, will spend long hours in trendy cafes, ordering frappuccinos and pushing my fringe back off my forehead while I frown at my laptop.

That’s going to be me.

The trouble is, I have never done anything remotely like this in my life. Not ever. The closest I have ever been to making things happen online is when I discovered how to use the online food shopping service from Tesco’s.

Time to put my acting skills to work and start to bluff it. Don’t they say fake it till you make it?

Right then.

And so, in December 2018,  the journey began to make it happen.

Anyone who knows me will know I have a passion for anything big, baggy and comfortable. Along with my belly and my charity shop Emu Ugg boots, my Berlai bra is the obvious example.

I don’t care that my boobs ooze out of the sides of it; it is soft and comfy and a dirty tan-brown colour. It makes me feel as though I’m doing something positive for the planet by wearing it. That bra actually makes me feel like a better person…
