Of Gibraltar, that is. Gibraltar is about 120km away, roughly a 1.5 hour drive. We decided, when my parents came over for a visit, that we would go there for the day. It was somewhere none of us had visited. We had heard mixed reports about Gibraltar. Many people who have visited comment that there …
From Arcos de la Frontera, we headed coastward to Vejer de la Frontera. We had mixed feelings about moving on – I had loved staying in the house we’d rented in Arcos, but the lack of internet connection was a big issue for Mr H. He was keen to get back online. In typical Harvey …

Whilst staying near Arcos we ventured out on 2 more day trips: the first to Jerez and the second to Prado del Rey. Prado del Rey is another whitewashed village, and we didn’t spend much time there. We had some lunch, which wasn’t very notable, and that was about it. It was a nice drive …

A while back I read an article entitled ‘Becoming a More Thoughtful User Experience Designer’. The first example Haugen used in his article was about clearing his inbox using Gmail and being presented with a smiley face and the text ‘You’re all done! Please enjoy your day.’ I have often wanted a clear [personal] inbox, …
A nice little surprise from RBS today as I logged in to do some account admin. They popped a little ‘Happy Birthday’ message up. I like that. I like that they’ve also considered the softer side of their customer’s experience on their website.
Eilidh’s first birthday was on a Saturday. I opted to not hold a party but instead baked a red velvet cake to take along to Tiny Tots, the mums & babies group that we attend on a Thursday morning. On that Thursday one of the other mums had baked some spinach muffins for her little …
