And this time, not only are we reflecting on the last twelve months but have the added weight of also looking back on the last ten years!

A lovely review of my latest Renaissance Masters

by Dave

Good reviews and bad reviews come with the territory. You get used to taking the rough with the smooth. One man’s poison is another’s medicine. You’re never gonna please everybody all the time. The way I look at it, the bad ones tend to just be misguided, yet to understand the error of their ways whereas the good ones of course, always have impeccable taste. Here’s one such critic who obviously knows their onions ;-) Seriously though, a big thank you to Lambretta at inthemix.com for your kind words. Lovely. Here’s the link…..
