Just to inform you We had prearranged this visit and we were wearing the appropriate clothing such as HI-VI Jackets E.C.T.!
We had all met up and signed in, and had a few chats with the lovely staff. then I had got out my camera and was greeted by a "Big Red Cross" over my battery bar so we had to rely on My phone and Naeem's Ipod to provide today's photos
