We have to reassure readers that the name of Dan’s company, Inigo, was not in fact taken from this film. It makes for fun reading though (thanks to Dan’s colleague Colin for lending us the book). The Princess Bride has joined the collection of books or articles that we read to each other from time to time. The other main contender at the moment is a book about a man who chose to read his way through the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. We’re up to ‘n’ now. Perfect for long winter nights. However, have to confess that The Princess Bride has taken the lead for now.

Here’s some of the pictures we took last year with Dan’s snazzy camera. They are of our Christmas tree decorations, and were intended to become the images on cards. We felt a bit like studio photographers setting them up - it’s useful having plain white chairs as backdrops. Thankfully all the subjects were well behaved, and have agreed to waive fees for appearing this year.

A friend of mine once said that everything in the future was in the landscape of the imagination. I always loved that phrase and thought it might be a good title for a book one day. For now it has to make do with being the title of this post.
Why blog? Well, we’ve been humming and hah-ing about putting together our Christmas newsletter [2006] and I suggested that we do it bit-by-bit, let it evolve in the run up to Christmas. So here we are and you never know, we might continue this after the big day too.
Being people who like to make a good impression, this blog is likely to change in style [both visually and in terms of tone] over time, but this is it for now.
