Getting there, however:
1. Potential clients still don't care much about your travelling of the Adriatic coast or your GCSE results
2. That attrocious "My key personal attributes" image is still there!! (how often do you use the word "acumen" in conversation - it makes you sound pretentious)
3. The boring grey, close together testimonial snippets are still there
4. The logo is unchanged
I do like the background - think the "having jam at a picnic" isn't a bad idea. Also like the jam jar email thing.
