Good morning readers! At long last my fingers have reached the keyboard to make a tentative start to this blog. I confess to having been sitting on the idea for many months – it's a wonder I don't have piles.

What does one write about in blogs? Although I have experience in scripting one before, that was in Cambodia where everything was new and interesting – there was always 'something' to scribble about. So, based smack bang in the middle of 'normal' what could be interesting to read? Well, I guess that's where the challenge will lie – training the eyes to notice even the smallest wonders in everyday life and hoping you will enjoy reading about it!

This will be the official blog of the Hound of Happiness team, and will contain a right old mish mash of the things we are interested in – from our business makes and developments to philosophical musings and awesome stuff we have come across through crafty networks. I guess the best place to start would be to tell you a bit about ourselves.
