Summer is finally here! As usual, we are taking a break from posting new articles on the blog, but will be busy working in the background to improve it. It is also a time to refresh and focus on other creative pursuits.

See you in September! - Simon

If we ever got bored at work we would just pick a random topic to debate in order to pass the time. Never could convince him that hockey is superior to soccer.... |
