With the dreary weather threatening to dampen our spirits, thestudio team thought it was time to fight the frost by taking to the German Markets. Said to be the biggest of its kind outside of Germany, the market has a whole host of interesting trinkets, stocking fillers and bites to eat.
Tis the season to be jolly…
Christmas is widely accepted as a time for indulgence and so it should be! It’s the most wonderful time of the year to treat yourself and more importantly others. From ginger bread houses to the renowned Bratwurst, the market is bursting from the seams with timely treats. (more…)
Today is the fourth Thursday in November which means its Thanksgivings day!
So if you’re at thestudio today why not join us in having a slice of seasonal cake.
What’s this you say? Give thanks today?!

There is a particular phenomenon typically experienced by astronauts called the Overview Effect. When individuals view the pale blue dot (Earth) surrounded by the blackness of space it induces a sudden philosophical realisation of complete unity, recognition that:
“All life on earth is interconnected, and we are, in a very real sense, one.”
Unfortunately I haven’t viewed the Earth from space, but am certain, like me, you can appreciate this ethereal bond we have to our planet and to each other.
Walking for a Cause…
It’s been over a month now since New Year and so we’ve had plenty of time to perfect our tactics for succeeding in our new year’s resolutions. That’s if any of us have managed to stick it out this long! The most popular New Year resolutions seem to be eating more healthily, exercising more often and generally looking after our bodies. I suspect it has something to do with all the chocolates, cheese and roast dinners consumed over the Christmas break…
I’ve been questioning the team about how well their resolutions are going. We have a mix of success and epic fails. Here are a few of our resolutions and how well we did…
