I’m now the in-house Post-a-Quote photographer. It’s a great gig!
I love theatre and music and try to attend local performances regularly. I feel blessed to live in a town that has so much on offer no one could possibly cover it all. Other inspirations include wise, witty and well-ordered words, patterns, art, nature and friends- and the last shall be first.
