Calendar 2012 – New 2013 Calendar Planned

I’m back posting for a while! Still have a big op to come up in the early spring but will try and move things on a little by then.

The 2012 calendar has been out since January 1st and has been met with enthusiasm from all quarters. The quality of the images we had to choose from was very high and I’d like to thank all those involved and for sending their images on to me. It was a lovely project to have worked on and as a result of its success we’ve been asked to do another one for 2013!
