The beginning
Sanjit and I have left our current company. I’ve been there for almost three years now and it has been an incredible experience. Without doubt my favourite memory is our company’s Vision & Values meeting in Biarritz in the South of France last year. Three days and thirty people flying to a fantastic, beautiful location to relax, have fun and discuss the future – they even paid for us to have surfing lessons. I will miss everyone.
On to something new: We started our own company and after leaving our previous company last Friday, we started on Monday with a client meeting and on Friday we found out we won the pitch! Now it’s official and we have a two month contract to sign!
It’s an incredible start – but it is just the beginning and we’re very excited.
I saw my niece twice last week – I babysat her on Tuesday night while my sister and brother-in-law went out and I saw her over the weekend too. I’m beyond broody now and I think my girlfriend is starting to get a little freaked out by it all – or at the very least she’s being very stern that we’re not having a baby just yet. We watched the F1 Racing on Sunday and after my girlfriend said “I love racing”, while holding my niece, I said “I love babies – I think we switched brains at some point during our relationship”

Oh, my, god… your niece is beautiful. She really does have her father’s eyes and her mother’s smile.
What a beautiful, beautiful, pretty, lovely, sweet girl!
The photo of you and your niece is breath-taking. It’s no surprise you’re broody!! That smile pretty much says it all, really.
Congratulations on setting up your company with Sanjit.
I know the two of you will do an absolutely fantastic job. You’re born businessmen and brilliant companions. I do so wish you all the best. 
Well done on your first pitch too!! As your friend, I can’t tell you how proud I am to see Sanjit and yourself rising above and beyond from the get-go. 
:: Big hug :: to you both.

Thanks Chorna!
She is such a beautiful little girl and it’s so rewarding when you hear her laugh.
Congratulations to you too for doing so well in your degree! * big hug *

Well well well, congratulations mate ; ) Andy told me you two were leaving but didn’t know why, it all makes sense now. Good luck with your new venture, no doubt if you can stop Sanj from sleeping at 3pm every afternoon you will both do really well ; ) Send him my best too,
Will

Hi Will!
Good to hear from you.
Sanj has been doing some amazing work - I’ll send it to you once we complete the project. Will send you the site, too.
Hope you and yours are well! When are you coming back to London for a visit?

Hi Mate, looking forward to seeing your stuff really interested as to see what you guys are up to.
I’m going to be back in the UK in September as my wife is going to be doing a “visiting period” for her PhD that she’s been doing in Turin, in the University of London for 6 months+ so would love to hook up.
You don’t need any cheap freelance junior design/ do anything, very flexible, kind of guys do you? : )

Excellent!
We don’t need anyone just yet, big boy, but you know we’ll keep you in mind!! It’s definitely time to get you, Andy and everyone else out for a nice glass of orange juice as soon as your plane lands.

Hey sexy… That photo is stunning (props to Oleg for his mastery with the camera) - not surprised you’re a little broody! I won’t harp on too long, as I expect to see you out and about soon AND I MEAN SOON AIDAN, SO GET YOUR ARSE INTO GEAR AND GET OVER HERE.
*ahem*
Yeh, anyway, it’s long overdue that you came out for a drink and hearty bit of ass-slapping manly action.
Make sure you IM me soon (and not just to fill my screen with bash.org quotes!)
