Call It What You Wish…

Family Day, But Not For All

My second video for Free-FM is now online. It’s the only other one I have completed, actually. It was much easier to find time to work on them before we launched the radio station! For this one I got to visit several of London’s top tourist attractions including Fanshawe Pioneer Village, Storybook Gardens and the forks of the Thames at Harris Park. …
