What we've been up to over the last few months
Top Sri Lankan brands
During a pretty incredible Christmas in Sri Lanka I noticed two fantastic brands that just popped up everywhere. Billboards, shop fronts, windows… and you could be sure to see these products in every grocery store too. Smart eh?
Happy Halloween
Right time to reveal our masterpieces…well our Pumpkins! Here are a few snap shots for you to peruse!
Leave us a comment and let us know which is your favourite! The winner will get half a bag of M&Ms that Pip didn’t finish at the cinema so, as you might be able to guess, we’re all very excited!
Tate Britain and back in a day
I travelled up on the sleeper to London yesterday for a presentation at The Dept of Transport. It’s a great way to travel up from Penzance and after a surprisingly good night’s sleep (must have been the nightcap!) the train slipped into Paddington bright and early.
After a visit to Portcullis House to catch up with our local MP Andrew George we had a few hours free over lunch prior to the DfT meeting. Luckily Tate Britain is on the doorstep so seemed the obvious choice.
I can think of few better ways to while away a few hours than strolling through this magnificent building, but was particularly blown away with the incongruous sight of a Harrier Jump Jet suspended from the roof of the Duveen galleries. The work by artist Fiona Banner is accompanied by another, a Jaguar Fighter in the adjoining gallery space.
Devoid of it’s war paint and stripped to its aluminium body and then highly polished, the fighter was balanced upside down on its tail. It looked much like a discarded toy, albeit a large one. Do try and get the chance to visit before January when the show closes!

Pumpkin fever
Ha ha, we’ve got the scalpels out and we’re carving away! We’re really putting our creative skills to the test this Halloween with a Nixon pumpkin design competition. Who’ll make the craziest pumpkin? Check back here on 25 October and vote for your favourite.
