Memories of home
ESPC’s latest advertising campaign, based around the story of a room through the decades, takes a trip down memory lane to look at the history of one specific living room from 60’s to today in 2013. We asked a few of the team here at ESPC what their favourite room in their home is and why. Here’s what they told us.
Victoria Cameron, Graphic Designer
Favourite room: Garden
The memory which stands out as the best for me is the day my sister Kirsteen got married. We have a big conservatory which opens out to the garden and on the morning of the wedding, the family all got ready together for the big day. The weather was perfect and we had a toast to my sister in the garden. It wouldn’t have been a wedding day without one funny little twist which kept us all on our toes - the boiler broke! So along with the well-dressed bridal party who all had to endure freezing showers, there was one other person who got to enjoy the celebrations… the plumber!
Lisa Venter, Media Relations Consultant
Favourite room: Living room
My most exciting and memorable experience of my living room would defiantly have to be the day my now husband, Willem, asked me to marry him. We literally had no furniture, just having moved in. I arrived home after work one day to the flat where I saw a lovely couch sitting there as a surprise for me. The room was covered in candles (which I thought was a little extravagant to celebrate a new couch!), however Willem then pointed to the top of the fireplace where was a little box sitting, I opened it up and realised it was an engagement ring. The rest, as they say, is history!
Jamie Pemberton, Customer Services Team Manager
Favourite room: Balcony
We have a great view which overlooks Arthur’s Seat and the Pentlands where you can just watch the world go by. Every year at the end of the festival we can watch the fireworks display from the comfort of my own home. We invite friends and family over as it’s the ideal location – a great view of the show, no queuing to get a good spot and drinks can be easily topped up!
