Anyone that’s complained that our winter hasn’t been white enough needs to go to the top of a hill in the middle of the country on a windy day. I’m not going to complain too much as I’ve seen what winter’s done to the homes of my friends in the South, and we’d probably prefer […]

I have worked with some great people in amazing locations, so will be posting more on those in January. In the meantime, here is one of a series […]
