Cloud 9 Digital Design ltdThe Fun Stuff. Great for a Friday afternoon.
I came across these three short videos. Not only are they great videos, but they also make me want to see more of the world, and all the great things in it.

Another marker for the start of summer is the number of outdoor theatre productions that are advertised. As it’s on our doorstep, Clare and I decided to watch a production of ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’ at Packwood House, one of Warwickshire’s most popular National Trust venues.
