About Me

My photo
Swatch
Andrew and Garry relocated to London from Sydney, Australia in 2005; before retracing their steps in 2011. For five years they called the London suburb of Swiss Cottage home. Andrew and Garry currently devote their working hours to fulfilling the world’s need for eco-friendly wooden toys. In their spare time, they're still discovering new destinations to explore. Andrew once dedicated his life to roaming the globe, sometimes for pleasure, but usually for business. There's an ozone hole up there with his name on it. These days he maintains this blog, weaving his life story through many of its posts.
