We have been working with attic 2 over the last few weeks in conjunction with WAG and Higher Education establishments. Today we went through some of the findings from this weeks workshop. It's great when there are such clear directions from a workshop. It makes things a lot easier.

Flicking through some albums recently for a forthcoming presentation I found this picture of me. I am definitely going to include it in a forthcoming public event. Watch this space for more information.

We all managed to get to the TEDx Cardiff event last night. Organised by Neil Cocker and Claire Scantlebury (of ignite fame). The event was the first TEDx in Wales and was an eclectic mix of speakers. From musicians, astrophysicists, geeks to television producers. there was also a good use of the TED archive with a great video of Dan Barber discussing the sustainability of food and farming in general. A big thank you to everyone who put the event on we had a great evening. Lot's to be inspired by.

We have just launched a brand new section to the National Theatre Wales website. It is part of the bonus 13th show Passion which will involve Michael Sheen.

I have just got back from a trip to Fontainebleau, which is just south of Paris. For those of you that do not know the area. It is one of the most amazing places in the world for climbing, walking and biking. The forest area is huge with one of the major challenges being not to get lost on the forest routes. There is however a fantastic system that is used for way finding, just follow the colour.



A colour marker indicating you are on the white and red route.



A colour marker indicating you are at a junction white goes right with the red going straight on.



Having used the way finding putting it to good use and actually doing a bit of climbing.
