A few months ago we met the charming Justin Long  Justin@Girls Home , who many of you will know from movies such as Die Hard 4.0 and the hit US comedy New Girl .  He spent some time at the Girl's Home with Nice 's Rach and Drew who are close friends and trustees of Madre Albertina's Home for Girls in Nicaragua. As promised, we have the finished film from Justin's second visit to the girls.  The Girls Home is a fantastic charity which is very close to our hearts at Nice Images!

Drew Sutton , Nice Director, has been back out on the Scottish waters with  Philip Hoare  as they addressed the issue of the newly approved windfarm plans in the Moray Firth.
