Well it's been a while since I've written here, the previous dodgy post have been written by my good pal and part time employee Robin Fuller. He's been freeing me up to do various designs, consultation and adventures with Leap. But it's time for me to start getting verbal again. And to put the record straight I am not a fottie fan. Give me surf anytime over any sport, well mountain biking comes in close, and snowboarding.

And yes we have a fantastic new edition as previously posted Claire England has joined us and as been admirably looking after the studio and our lush clients whilst I went on a client related trip to the Sinai Desert with one of our oldest clients Makhad Trust. I'll write more about that, alot to write and I'm still assimilating what happened - let alone the fact I had 8 days without any technology around me...ace... well I did have my ipod and a solar powered Solio charger to test.

Two things before I go...
I've been voted in to take a seat of the Cornwall Design Forum, representing sustainabiliy within creativity in the South West. A very important happening.

I've also very appreciatingly been given a bursary to join a Common Purpose matrix - more to follow but it starts in March and finishes in July. Thank you Mandy Milano for thinking of me/Leap

And just for fun, as fun is something that should be part of every day no matter how hard that day may be.. go to www.cheatneutral.com is a witty wee site that satirises the abdication of moral responsibility for dealing with the challenge of climate change that many feel may be a side-effect of carbon offsetting. Now you f*** the climate or f*** around on your partner - and just offset your climatic and, ahem, climatic misdemeanours!

catch you soon for a Sinai update and a few other Leap happenings.

Leap supports England!


The title above isn't in reference to England's struggling soccer team, of which I support with all the dedication of a well upholstered sports bra, but in fact refers to a completely different England all together; a new Leap recruit, Claire England.

Claire, 24, has joined the team as a designer to assist with various graphic design projects for 2007, and we'll be supporting her in every way we can as she navigates through the labyrinthine world of Leap sustainable design!

Mind you, talk about being dropped in it at the deep end... no sooner have I said welcome to the Leap family, have a Hobnob, than I'm leaving her on her tod to jet off to Sinai!

But I have a 100% confidence in England, and will be frying away like a sizzling streak of organic bacon, foodless and podless, in the safe knowledge that Leap is in good hands!
