Candlelit Memories

It was 2 years ago today that I took part in a 24 hour candle lit vigil against proposed job losses and relocation. Wow! was it really that long ago... the memory is so vivid it seems like yesterday! The day was wonderfully uplifting with friends and colleaugues standing together against adversity.

It was frosty and cold and a thick fog kept descending rather eerily just around the building, the surrounding area was clear. I didn't do the night shift but I am told there was some wonderful headgear to keep the few stalwarts warm! By this time the cameras had given up the ghost due to the extreme cold so there is no photographic evidence!

More pictures of the day can be found in this gallery!

Love the montage picture! It actually looks as though Mike V is on fire there (literally!) - I bet young Neil would have a laugh about that!

Wonderful headgear indeed! As I recall, I was one of the few stalwarts that was there for the graveyard shift, and the "wonderful headgear" was a tin helmet from WW2 that was almost as heavy as me and did nothing to keep my bonce warm!

Grrr.
