After a very busy December leading into a non stop festive season and new years, I joined my family on a vacation in the pacific islands. The weather was sublime as we sailed around New Caledonia and some of its neighbouring islands. I saw some truly idyllic landscapes, including some of the whitest sands and bluest water I have ever seen. With little to do but relax and soak up the sun, it wasn't hard to fall into a much slower pace of living!

I'm now making plans however, on my last few nights at sea, for getting home and getting back to work!

I'll be completing some residential projects that l began last year and beginning some exciting new ones as well. I'll also be commencing work on a commercial assignment for a new cafe/restaurant opening in 2013 - I'm really looking forward to this! I have workshops planned in a fresh new format, (the dates for these will be released soon) and I have been asked to begin discussions on a second book, so I'll be travelling, writing and photographing, when I get some spare time!

Of course, I'm also looking forward to new enquiries from you on any of my services, so please email anytime to discuss this or to arrange an appointment.

I hope you have all had a great start to 2013. I look forward to keeping in touch with you throughout the year.

Speak soon,

Justin.
