D&AD has left the building.........

Sadly it's all over again for another year. We were in at 8am and out by 8.50am.....all packed, in the van and ready to make the journey North. I think its a good time to go as London is beginning to 'warm up',,,...and Spitalfields is not known for its air-con!!!!!.........so until next year, we wave goodbye to London and look forward to our Degree Ceremony next Friday!!!!!
