So here we are – my friend Andrew and I shortly after being told that we’ve qualified as Level 2 ski instructors! Friday 14th March 2014.
NB: This was a planned step for Andrew and a completely unexpected blessing for me! But more on that later…

inIt’s a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all, you won’t be free
Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
When you want more than you have, you think you need
And when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Cause when you have more than you think, you need more space

I read this today and think it is, quite simply, beautiful:
The time you won your town the race,
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Allow me to set the scene: ‘I’ (age 6) and ‘Z’ (age 7) are sitting on the floor of one of their bedrooms giggling like mad when I walk in.
I’m not sure what they’ve been watching beforehand – possibly Nativity 2, or perhaps Call the Midwife or One Born Every Minute(?), but I digress… The point is, they’ve recently worked out that babies “come from mummies tummies”. Then add to that my mentioning the other day that my cousin is having a baby. That’s the foundation, sure… Continue reading

inToday I’ve been teaching my apprentice about the important differences between RGB & CMYK colours. I can tell I’ve already lost some of you here, so allow me to explain:
RGB means Red Green Blue – These are the colours used on your computer screens, in various combinations to create different colours.
CMYK means Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK (yes I know it should be CMYB, it annoys me too) – These are the colours used by your printers or on anything printed really!
Why does it matter?
Because, WHAT YOU SEE on screen IS NOT WHAT YOU GET in print.
