Iamge thanks to Medium.com Every so often I get to talk to someone I haven’t spoken to in a while. Invariably they ask me what I am up to for work these days.

Image thanks to WallpaperCave For three years now, I have published a list of resolutions. This is my fourth. They are not things that I have set my heart on achieving but rather things to aim at. For the year just gone I have given myself three and a half out of the five yet … Continue reading Happy New Year 2021

Explosive awards
Other awards were available I must admit that I admire Charlie Hoult from Dynamo and the team from Beaconhouse Events, for his and their willingness to try something new.
