This isn’t the only blog that was abandoned for a long while. Reading to George is a place for us to keep track of the great children’s books we’re discovering and in particular the ones our son becomes really fond of. I hadn’t updated it in over a year so I have a huge back [...]

Whenever I need a bit of inspiration for a graphic design project I always have a flick through The Art of Looking Sideways and I always come away with a head full of ideas. His simple, quick wit always leaves me smiling and feeling inspired.

Well we are officially broke, mainly thanks to Mr Tax Man who has decided to leave us penniless. We’ve had a good couple of months finding cheap tickets to various events and shows so we can’t really complain, but as we tend to get cabin fever very swiftly on the weekends and we’re probably going [...]

It will be screened in the UK on Christmas Eve on Channel 4 at 2.30pm and on Boxing Day [...]

I have a lot of blogs that I try to keep up with and normally fail miserably (how do people have time to blog everyday?), but Two Fish Illustration and Designis easy enough as designer Jacob Souva blogs even less frequently than I do. But in his case it’s definitely quality winning out over quantity. [...]

We have two cats. They’re sisters with very different personalities. Luka (black & white) is the cleverer one but she’s kinda lazy, definitely greedy and has the longest whiskers and loudest purr ever. Lea (tabby) is the little scaredy cat, she’s very cute and very sweet but unfortunately also very curious.

Don’t be afraid of the bear, he’s been around a long time and although he has a maniac’s stare, he’s never hurt anyone. Yet…

I love Halloween. I also apparently love pumpkins. This became apparent when I ran across the high street to claim the pumpkin I’d spied before anyone else could nab it. I needn’t have worried, most people, well adults, in the UK put Halloween down as another over-commercialised holiday. It’s sadly under-rated here and no-one ever [...]
