Joy all round today – like we’re not feeling celebratory enough with all this bunting about the place – when a lovely big Fortnum and Mason hamper turned up at the studio from Charlie Dalton at Smart to thank us for his relaunch.

This is a total first for all of us (though I did receive a bunch of flowers once from a client who’d had me on a non-stop 36 hour stint to get a brochure done when I was a graduate trainee).

Nikky grabbed a shot of one of Southwold Pier’s fab new menus when she popped over there for a meeting this morning – here’s one in the Promenade Café.

We’re delighted with how this new creative style is rolling out. It’s already gracing menus in all their eating areas and the first ad of the campaign is due to appear next week. Still to come: staff badges, brochure, website and a host of other things – even fresh food packaging.

Delighted to receive this email from Archant today, sharing news of our Awards lunch with fellow sponsors. The lunch itself was wonderful – great food and a really lovely group of people.

We are delighted to have secured a large article in Design Week for our work with the Heritage Lottery funded refurbishment of Woodbridge Tide Mill. Not only that but we’re sharing page 5 with our neighbours, Adnams, and my old Attik colleagues, Simon Dixon and Aporva Baxi.

We are bedecked in union flags, all ready for Friday. Many of the Springers will be gravitating to the Star in Wenhaston where there’s bucks fizz, bacon butties and a big screen – we’ll be the ones in red, white and blue. There’s not many of us here who remember the last big Royal Wedding but we’re all excited about this one.
