 me and Evie
note from Dad>
Evie was not used to being underground but wanted to go and see the copper for the colour , we wanted to give Evie the opportunity , it meant that Jake who is very self confident can be himself and always wears very distinctive hi viz clothing means I can keep a eye on where he is whilst helping Evie ,

 mum and Leo came to say hello

 This is copper and lead below
