Tabby’s sports day
Last year, Tabby was very nervous at her school sports day. She was shy about running in front of people and had to be gently cajouled into competing (although this being a Montessori school, the competition element isn’t really the biggest part). This year was a different story – except for the wheelbarrow race, which…

Photos by a four year old
This site needs a lot of loving. It needs a complete makeover and turning into a proper portfolio place, where the blog is secondary or possibly just a Tumblr feed. I’ve been a busy lately, with lots of work and side projects going on. For example, I’m now blogging regularly at PC Gamer‘s new site,…
