This week I turned the big 3-0! And seeing as I'm being asked quite a lot about it, I thought I would try and sum up a little of how I feel in a blog post. It's obviously difficult to concentrate my life leading up until now into a few short paragraphs but I wanted to...

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I've been a bit slack with my blog recently as it's the first thing to slip when things get busy! With commission deadlines, personal projects and the podcast, it's difficult to find the time to sit down and write!
