First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! I hope you and your families had a wonderful festive break, and that 2019 has been good to you so far.

I have been very inactive on here over the last twelve months, and for that I am sorry. I do have a valid excuse though, I was preparing and have now moved to Seattle, USA to live with my wife, Heather!

2018 was a trip, and not a year I will forget in a hurry. Now that I am settling into my new home with Heather I wanted to touch base with you all.

Since I arrived in Seattle in late September last year, as well as looking for a job to pay the bills (I am still looking for the right fit), I have had a chance to reconnect with my wife and two stepchildren, who I have been living apart from for far too long; get back into reading, which has been far too sporadic for my liking over the last few years; and reconnect with my creative life, which, in 2018 felt stunted at best.

Now that I feel happy and grounded in my new home, I am more than ready to face the world again. There are lots of projects in the pipeline that I will be sharing information about soon. Until then, it’s great to be back!

Phil
