Snail Mail

Caroline and Chloe at the North Carolina office, at long last, enjoying the chocolates from Wei’s trip to France this summer.

Birthday Bash

Two cakes (and of course, a pie) for the price of one. Happy joint birthday to our own Nigel and Melissa!

Bird’s Custard Powder

Despite the connotations around the name “Bird’s” and avians’ common association with eggs, Bird’s Custard Powder doesn’t actually contain any. Alfred Bird developed the recipe in 1837 in Birmingham for his wife, who was allergic to eggs. The rest is history, as nearly two centuries later Bird’s is still a staple in many British homes — including Nigel’s.

Estilo Campo

It’s been a hectic, but very productive, few days for Nigel and the crew in Buenos Aires, so they’re unwinding the only way they know how: with a fine steak at Estilo Campo.

The Force is Strong in My Family

How the time does fly. Our young Jedi Luke Walker turned 15 today!

Egg & Soldiers

Mastering the distinctly European art of dipping your toast into a carefully cracked soft-boiled yolk.

Interesting DOT Signage

Mark saw this amazing example of a “Do Not Enter” sign in Florida, at what claimed to be the world’s largest White Castle restaurant, cementing his stance on the chain’s quality.

Heckfield Haig

Upon returning from a business trip in Saudi Arabia, Haig found some time to catch up with Nigel over dinner at Heckfield Place.

Heckfield Place

Nigel and company visited Heckfield Place in Reading this evening. The manor sits on more than 400 acres of property, and in recent years underwent extensive renovations to transform it into a luxury hotel and dining destination.

Throw ‘Em Up

Scenes from this years That’s Nice holiday outing (continued). Albert always has the horns locked and loaded whenever a camera is nearby.
