  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes.

  • Driving Miss Evie (Asia 2023 Part 2)

    It has been an exhausting transition back from holiday mode to work. It hasn’t been helped by the eight hour time difference and illness brewing in the background. I’m picking up from where I left off last time. We’re in a rental car office in Naha, Okinawa on a beautifully sunny day… After a couple…

  • The Halloween 2023 Filmmaking Challenge

    This year was different from other years. Yes we were travelling again, but the Halloween film for 2023 was in pre-pre-production when we left. It was so pre-production, it wasn’t really even an idea. Newforge Studios Every year (almost) we have put together a short film for Halloween under the Newforge Studios name. This started…
