After what felt like far too long I now have a new office in Europe, having moved to Kenmare, Co. Kerry  Ireland for the time being!

Its a long long story, and its a bit of a personal one but needless to say that we are now much closer to family and a vast majority of my existing client base whilst still servicing my clients in Australia & New Zealand.

Initially we had headed out for France but found it far to hard being a family of mixed vegetarian’s / vegans so headed for the more familiar surroundings of Kenmare, Co. Kerry Ireland (My mother in-law is from the town, so my wife is much happier that she can see a lot more of her).

Its been a bit of an uphill struggle getting phone lines and broadband connected but I believe I am now at the top of that hill and have it more or less sorted.

Talking of hills, where bu my last office on Waiheke Island, New Zealand looked over the beautiful Blackpool bay, my new office looks out onto the beautiful Hills and Mountains of this wilds and spellbind region of rural South West, Ireland. The Mountains are so spell binging I’ve already taken a seven and a half hour walk across them from the neighboring town of Killarney, a trip that left we with a loving connection to the landscape, a host of fine photos, some great new ideas and two very sore legs.

Once more I have shunned the big cities, many readers may think its daft that I work for and have worked for companies such as Disney, Kraft, Nestle, LBi, AKQA (to name drop a few in toe curling pomposity), whilst refusing to live in the heart of the action, the fact is, I just don’t like cities, well I like them plenty, but just to visit, I cant sleep in them, or rest, I like country folk, I like small communities, and clean air and the sights and sounds of a more natural world and I find it easier to work, sleep and dream when surrounded by green. Plus in this trade I could live anywhere with a web connection so why not live in a place that my children and I enjoy!

So now I best get back to these projects that have been lining up in my absence from the online realm!
