Putting down roots
Thursday, June 18th, 2009We’ve just landed in Lincolnshire after last weekend’s move. You didn’t notice? Well exactly – it’s business as usual for us, which has led us to marvel at the way we all work these days. We could be in Timbuktu (yes there is such a place!) or in another far-flung location and still be able to deliver to deadline. All we need is the Internet, a computer and, of course, a charming view (no, we don’t stare out the window all day, it’s merely for inspiration). Continuation is pretty key in any business, whether it’s a theme for adverts or just a logo that stands the test of time (remember The Milky Bar Kid? For years he was synonymous with this white chocolate treat. You knew where you were with The Milky Bar Kid.)
But if you think we’ve swapped the beautiful, rolling hills of Yorkshire for lesser beauty, think again! Our shiny new offices nestle in equally green surroundings, and after some careful balancing and a bit of spilled soil, we’ve managed to transport our patio pots of pansies and salad leaves (not so attractive but rather tasty) as carefully as we did our Macs and PCs. So we’ve brought a little bit of Yorkshire with us and hope that the Lincolnshire soil will be as inviting to our summer seedlings and not too temptingly succulent for its resident slugs, which may as we speak be ‘yuthering and yetting’ (Lincolnshire dialect meaning to eat noisily and voraciously - Lincolnshire factet!). We want a butterfly-friendly garden (think nectar-bearing, scented and meadow flowers), though caterpillars aren’t quite so welcome (see previous yuthering comment). We incorporated butterflies into the design of our first communications to you so they’re a part of our continuation, and they’re in need of help as our 50 varieties of butterfly in the UK are fast becoming rare.
But we’re still here, raring to go with fresh ideas and ready to help your business put down its own roots in whichever sector you’re in. As soon as we’ve found the teapot, that is …
Purely interesting:
