August, September and the first week of October have been busy with work work. It’s been a bit of a struggle to keep all the plates spinning to be honest. My own work has been neglected for most of the summer.

My daughters 10th birthday today. She celebrated in style with a Taylor Swift party.

Shameless plug here, as this is my wife, who wrote, illustrated and published these herself. The story was in today’s ‘Perthshire Advertiser’. She’s also written crime fiction, ‘The Glens of Carnegie’, which I read every draft of for about ten years prior to publication!
