"Deep sleeps the Winter, Cold, wet and grey; Surely all the world is dead; Spring is far away. Wait! the world shall waken; It is not dead, for lo, The Fair Maids of February Stand in the snow!" ‘The Snowdrop Fairy’ - Cicely Mary Barker. They're here! The first signs of Spring. Traditionally a symbol of less positive omens (the Victorians didn't like them in the house, their worst-case scenario was death!) we've spotted our first snowdrops on our walks!

First of all, our Lead Designer Dan's company BEYONDESIGN featured our fresh new branding over on their company LinkedIn which was super exciting! In his weekly review, they chose to talk about our new look and the change of direction as a whole during these crazy...
