As some of you may know, I’ve been writing a novel, The Week In Radio, which is set during a week-long performance of Wagner’s Ring Cycle. The project is full-tilt at the moment [i. e. I’ve gotten to the really exciting part – well, one of the really exciting parts – very close to the end]. […]

After the success of our Skylanders Valentines and our Toy Heart Photo Valentines, Toby wanted to do another video game valentine for his friends at school. He’s been playing a lot of retro Sonic games lately, so he wanted to do something Sonic related. We looked for pre-made valentines in shops and couldn’t find anything. And, […]
