The Workshop, and Diabolical Deathrays
The Newforge Workshop I’m still working away at the other travel posts, but for now, we’re back to regular operations.

I haven’t managed to get writing in a while, so here come the excuses… Business Stuff I have been ramping things up with Newforge Rings in the run up to Christmas, including my first market appearance at the Black Box on November 30th.

Still talking about London, and I’m in business!
I can’t believe London was over a week ago – time is flying by so quickly this summer. As usual, almost all of my time has been spent writing my thesis. It is starting to come together after many hours, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Back to London! I ended…
