| purpleturtle.co.uk was born during the long night watches whilst sailing from Britain to South America and back with my wife and three daughters, aged 6, 8 and 11. Great fun was had by all (at times!), but there was still an awful lot of time to fill whilst sailing. The favourite game on board was 'shops', but what started as a bookshop rapidly evolved into a newsagent/travel agent/bank/cafe/hair dressing salon, and finally internet sales.
This evolution was inspired by the versatility of the businesses we came across during our travels, and once the seed was sown, I was never allowed to forget the idea of the internet shop. This then represents the germination of that seed, but it has yet to grow and blossom, and only time will tell whether it has fallen on fertile or stoney ground....
But why purpleturtle.co.uk? Turtles were a recurring feature throughout the voyage, turning up when they were least expected and most appreciated, particularly when sailing through the odd purple patch, and hence purpleturtle.co.uk was born. So follow the turtle and have some fun!
