Eroc's collection of vacuum cleaners is legendary! Nice to see they are more than just decorative :D
That was brilliant. So nice to see old familiar faces!
It was a real pleasure to provide all the lighting and tech support once again for Diverse Abilities.. Looking forward to the next one in Weymouth. :)
Thank you so much for all your help. It was a great event made by great lighting. Here's to the next one in Weymouth!
