Griffin Takes a Trip

On friday the 4th the Griffin team will be heading stateside to visit NYC. Although we’ll only be in town for a few days we’re putting the task of sleeping on the back burning and on the hunt for stuff to do any day or night. If your in the city or no of any events kicking off between the 4th and 8th December get in touch., either via e-mail at nicole@griffin-studio.com or via the blog. It doesn’t stop there....




On the 9th December Mr Griffin will then be heading on to Japan. Although Jeff comes out to Tokyo most years he is always looking for new things to do in the city and any events that may be happening during his week long stay. We thought who better to ask than our Japanese customers? So if you know of any new boutiques, bars or exhibitions that are happening between the 9th and 16th of December we'd love to hear from you. Also during his stay Jeff will be making his way to Kamakura for a little surfing, he'll also be traveling by bike for part of the journey so if you know of any great routes for cycling please do get in touch.

Looking back on the year.

The year started with the Snow and yes l was stuck in Milan, the only flight l could get was into Liverpool... 25 years waiting for the snow and l was late... But it was great....



Then we all had a year of credit crunch, fat bankers, a world including the government who don't seem to understand what it all means, except we must keep it rolling at all costs.. Then War and Global Warming all in 12 months,, so is it time to think differently? or just carry on? what else can we do? All become hippy's, well l've been to some great places Tofino Canada, Koh Samui, Tioland Island and Ibiza. All the Hippy's got there back in the 60's 70's... Maybe peace and Love isn't a bad idea...















What a great place to visit, and even better are the people, for a start its true the girls are good looking, But so are the boys.. They seem to be very chilled, relaxed and just very nice people.
yes l am summing up a whole race on just a few visits.. but l love Sweden! x



































Winter is here and l'm planning the last trips before the end of year, plus looking back on the this crazy year..
it started with alot of work and trips, visiting The Alps to listen to Chris Bonnington a hero from my childhood,
boarding with Berghaus (l was on crouches as l have fallen though a glass table in a nite club in Hong Kong),
Plus visiting Shanghai for the first time which was great fun with Katie from NZ,
Then my homage to my favourite Tokyo.
l also went State side to see a great friend in NYC and just hang out,
its a great city to visit, ride, walk, talk and just watch people. Being from Europe its fascinating watching the American's. When l go to
ltaly l always look at them and think "They love their food" "When l'm in American l always think they love to make money."
So long complicated coffee's with 2%, great diners with extra side portions, "Would you like hash browns and a side of Bacon" it would
be rude not to, Apple store in Soho plus this great cherry pie, museums.
