WELCOME EMMA

It has been a tough 12 months for them but the time has come for the hard training to pay off, when the masses of cheering observers line the path of the race and shout for their team.

A strict diet of grass and pellets has meant that both teams are ready and prepared for the big race on Saturday the 3rd of April.

If you missed it last year you dont want to miss it this year, with all proceeds going to their brilliant hosts at  Spitalfields City Farm

High fives and back slaps all round, not to mention big love to Cookie, for all his excellent design and illustration work.

We continue to take pride in the fact that Roome dont just say that we know the industry and talk the talk but that we have had years of working within the walls of some of our best clients.

End the Brutal Killing of More Than 20,000 Dolphins Every Year in Japan 

I tend to be a secret squirrel when it comes to the charities and motions that we support here but after seeing the film The Cove on Friday night I had to blog about it.

Having lived in Japan and being a passionate diver I had to go and see the movie when it premiered on Friday, and nothing could have prepared me.

Its not a film for the faint of heart but it’s a film that if you care about the oceans and animals that live in it, you have to see.

This is a documentary revealing the slaughtering of dolphins in a small coastal town in Japan.

Please take some time to go and see the film or support the movement to stop the killing.
