Vivid Friday Favourites

Happy Friday! Today we're ultra pleased to announce the launch of our new weekly blogspot, named with heartstopping alliteration, the Friday Favourites. Each week we'll be bringing together for your reading pleasure the things that have made us happy over the course of the week...

Caroline: The news that fat thighs are good for you, and that Peter & Katie are finally divorced!

Hilary: Listening to the Breakfast Show with Mark Cummings on BBC Radio Gloucestershire on the way to work this morning, particularly the segment on simple things that make you happy (including a glass of wine on the patio on a sunny friday evening!) Have a listen here.


Holly: These paper cut outs by artist Yuken Teruya. Seriously intricate and seriously beautiful. Have a look at the rest of the collection, I think the sprouting New York Times is my favourite :-)


Lauren: The fact that it was 9/9/9 this week! Have a look here to see why this date holds so much significance for some people. I also thought this advert for Goldstar beer, showing the differences between male and female thought processes was great. (Check out the rest of the series too)


And for all of us... the fact that it's been nice and warm all week, and set to get even better over the next few days. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Canine Partners - Doggy Demonstration


We went to an event at Cirencester Park Polo Club last Thursday.The event was hosted by Canine Partners which is a charity that aims to assist people with disabilities to enjoy a greater independence and a better quality of life. They demonstrated the work that they do with the dogs as part of the training programme, all of us were extremely impressed, it was incredible!

Yay dropbox.




Have just introduced the rest of the office to the joys of dropbox. It's a great little filesharing tool - easy to use, nicely styled and a super quick way of sharing information between clients or colleagues when you're working remotely. If you're working on a particular project with two or more people it's really simple for everyone to chip in without having to constantly send things back and forth. I'm definitely a fan.
