| From time to time I do leave the computer for a bit of a change
but it has to be said that I am always keen to get back to work after
a day or so. If I really have to do something holiday-like, I will
generally turn it in to a project one way or another. The Watch collection
started in this way after a trip to Hong Kong, famous for its Rolex
fakes. Skydiving, on the other hand is something I really love although
I am probably one of the most infrequent jumpers around. It is an
important part of my life even if I do only turn up every few months.
Nothing tops the feeling of leaving the reality of the plane and diving
out into the fantasy of freefall. |

In Feb 2001, we moved from London, UK to San Rafael, California
to start an exciting new life - here are some pics and movies from
the first few months. Also see how our sunflowers are coming on.
