My journey today began at sunrise with my travelling companion for this adventure being Fiona (Events Director at Photolink). Our destination on this beautiful morning was Saunderton, one of the many home counties town and villages that have been consumed by the London vortex of high wealth commuters. Our objective today was to take a brief for a new event for one of our pharmaceutical clients. Today is one of the rare occassions that I now drive longer distances to visit clients, I typically resort to one of 'dick pickles' pendolinos where I can plug in my laptop and enjoy two hours of quality working time.
In six hours travel time to and from the destination our conversation focussed mainly on business but occassionally wandered into our own social anecdotes and of course what's on the tele tonight. In the occassional moments of silence I absorbed the countryside that flashed by on either side of the M40 and couldn't help but remember one of the many wonders of the world that I have often pondered - where do birds go to die? Sadly, I have often contemplated this matter and even previously gone so far as to Google it to see what light the experts can shed on the subject. If I am to believe what they say then the hedgerows that I see as the seams of the countryside tapestry around me are simply bursting with animals that have drawn their final breath.
I think perhaps I should satisfy my curiousity to this wonder with the wisdom of my seven year old daughter, that perhaps all birds don't emigrate, there is in fact a final flight for all birds to a far away undiscovered island to rest in eternal peace.
With that strange but invaluable insight resolved I can happily report that we have our first positive press release for the new Lookers website launched yesterday. The press release has been included by How-Do, who provide the North West media agencies with all the latest industry news. I am really pleased that this information portal launched by Nick Jaspen has been such a success. My path crossed with Nick many years ago and I am really pleased that his persistence as an entrepreneur full of ideas is paying off. The story can be accessed by the following link http://www.how-do.co.uk/north-west-media-news/north-west-digital-media/lookers-to-drive-more-sales-online-with-new-look-site-200802131905/
Finally, our February good fortune has continued with Photolink being awarded two new contracts yesterday. The first to create the new intranet for North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC)and the second to provide an on-line marketing strategy for a new nusery and childrens bedroom transactional website called Scribbletree (I love that name). We are particularly pleased to have been awarded the NYCC intranet as this follows our inclusion by SOCITM in their guide of Best Practise Intranets with the site we developed for Chorley Borough Council.
Long may this run of good fortune continue.

Stuart - I'm very impressed, and honoured that you managed to mention Lookers not once, but twice! However, I think your obsession with dead birds is a little worrying! Anyway, back to work on my lovely new websites!
