Over coffee this morning at Coffee Machine Solutions one of my colleagues mentioned that we had not spoken with our mutual friend

and company web consultant for quite some time.

Of course the icy pole would be an instant winner with teachers and parents!
The entire conversation raised a whole new question of whether a tree change to the secluded but beautiful Mount Tamborine environs and then spending all your waking hours running your business
