Click on image to zoom inJust fresh back from T in the Park 09 after having a brilliant time. Thanks again to the team at DF and Material for the tickets, it was great to go and see the ads we had done up all over the place. I will admit that seeing Blur live on the Sunday night was more of a highlight. But also lazing around in the sun in hospitality was not so bad either ;)

Click on image to zoom inTake a look at my new favourite brand. I came across them when Niki a friend of mine sent me the details (she knows I love to eat fresh fruit and 'birdfood' as Adrian and Bri call it).
Anyway, you go to the site www.graze.com and you select what type of lunch you want, so could be protein rich if you are training, or a calorie controlled one if you are trying to lose weight or you can just go for nutritionally balanced, there are loads of options. Once you have chosen the type then you go through a bit which works out what type of food you like, and then you're all set to book your lunch. They make up a lunch box of fresh fruit, olives, nuts, chocolate, whatever and it arrives by first class post on the days you have requested.
It's great, every time a total surprise lunch that someone else has handpicked from things they know you like.
The reason I wanted to blog it here though is that the packaging is beautiful. The whole experience with them in my eyes is bang on with the marketing, their approach, brand personality, packaging design, web, all of it.
Give it a shot and I look forward to hearing how you get on. I even managed to get Adrian hooked for a while. Brian I think will be a bit harder to crack, however, he is happy to take part when they send organic chocolate smarties.
The only thing I think I would recommend they add is a hot bacon roll for hangover days button, that would really complete the service!
Anyone wanting to try a box and get their first box for £1, feel free to use this code 6V52N6F.
Happy grazing ;)

Click on image to zoom inWell not quite.
But I am just back from a weeks holiday in Lewis and Harris, where quite uncharacteristically the sun shone all week long.
Some rewarding VisitScotland moments were had, tasty fresh seafood with the obligatory Stornoway blackpudding, a visit to the beautiful Amhuinnsuidhe castle grounds, and I can even recommend my favourite beach Scarista. Here's a pic of the beauty.

Click on image to zoom inLast night channel 4 showed their 100 greatest ads of all time. If you have or haven't seen it before it's worth a watch. A chance to see all the usual suspects some you had forgotten about, and there's some interesting interviews with the creative directors and producers who created them talking about where the inspiration came from, the fights to have them passed, the complaints and the production genius required to make them come to life.
(You can still catch it on channel 4 watch again.)
