Lunan Bay is a long, sand-dune-backed beach on the east coast of Scotland, which I first visited during my first trip to see Jo in 2004.

WordPress
WordPress is currently the most popular content management system in the world. I’ve been using WordPress for personal and business projects since 2003, both as part of my day job and also as a freelancer. I have been an active member of the Swiss WordPress community since the first official Swiss WordCamp in 2014, co-organising and presenting at conferences across the country.
