It's a morning vlog and the weather is fine and milder, the snow has long gone. I'm doing some deliveries on the way into work, and take the opportunity to drop my boy off to School. We start off the journey pulling up behind a Jaguar F-pace - a very fast SUV although not so fast with this driver - I think he got one too many speeding fines!

Covering my last weekend, I took my boy to Rokt Indoor Climbing centre. This picture is from a previous visit when he did a roped climb on one of the big grain silos.

Some great views looking over Halifax as we head down to Boothtown.

My [Coffee of the world](https://steemit.com/coffee/@c0ff33a/coffee-s-of-the-world-costa-rica-la-candelilla-washed-gesha) this week was from Costa Rica, a wonderful and quite expensive Gesha - worth the value though a very high quality coffee.

This week I also had my portrait painted again! Can you believe it, my good friend and excellent content creator @huslein.slash  who I found when I joined #thealliance painted this portrait - but the really clever part is it is drawn entirely using coffee! I'm quite amazed, not only have I never hear of anyone painting with coffee - it strikes me as a very difficult ink to work with. 
You can view the painting here including work in progress shots in the link below the picture. It's amazing how many talented artists I am finding on Steemit, @bridget.art continues to produce amazing work on a daily basis and is well worth your time following. Also @beforandafter is producing some very artistic posts - but more on him later  https://steemit.com/painting/@huslein.slash/portrait-painting-c0ff33a-with-coffee-tutorial-bilingual

We have reached the Dean Clough Centre, to drop some goods off at the Loom Lounge coffee shop. This massive old mill complex received an incredible refurbishment some years back after being derelict for many years, now it houses many business's and retail units. Stuart has added to his coffee shop with a small coffee roaster, and purchased his 1kg Toper Roaster through me - you can see his shop below.

Now we head around to the far side of the mill complex - it's a big old building. [You can learn more about Dean Clough here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Clough) and stop for a delivery at the engine room coffee shop. It's also an opportunity for Mr Nellis's words of wisdom.

For educational and motivational posts  I been enjoying posts like this https://steemit.com/thealliance/@nuridin/if-you-spill-the-coffee-say-i-am-sorry from @nuridin who has a great deal of knowedge to share.

And I have been really touched and moved by the poetry and words by @lymepoet who has an incredible talent for writing.  This post particularly had special meaning to me because because it touched on experiences  from my own life https://steemit.com/womenspeakout/@lymepoet/journey-to-self-discovery 
I have also enjoyed many wonderful posts this week including this amazing flower picture https://steemit.com/macrophotography/@novalandrian22/76tvbq-macro-photography-flower from @novalandrian22 with the close up it looks like a Kaleidoscope.

You are it! She is a wonderful follow and with a new camera  creating pictures of mind blowing quality.

For Steemit to grow we need to post rich content - interesting and unique posts that encourage others to join in and share their experiences. If you feel your own posts are not doing well look at what your favourite content creators are doing - if you like their work they are doing something you could do as well - think of way to do similar things with your own unique twist.

As Steemit grows making your content stand out gives it a greater chance to be seen and enjoyed, I try to work on making one post a day - but making it as big and content rich as I can. I don't know if this is the right way, but I enjoy the most big content rich posts - and a wise man on Steemit once said to me - make your content like the content you enjoy.
