Tempus fugit By Nic Price on 1 October 2008 — 1 min read A year to the day since I embarked on this freelance adventure. It’s been full of variety, full of people, full of learning, full of challenges and full of fun! Thoughts to follow sooner or later no doubt. More
Nowhere to hide By Nic Price on 1 February 2008 — 1 min read I’ve got that song by Martha and the Vandellas in my head now. “Nowhere to run to baby, nowehere to hide…” When I left the institution four months ago it was with the intention of “setting up on my own” as I put it.

All in good time By Nic Price on 9 January 2008 — 1 min read My grandmother once gave my father a plate. It was called a round tuit.
