Great photos of how it is all done. Cloister looks tiny on the back of that flat bed trailer.

Can't wait to see photos of it in steam on that industrical siding thing, very authentic.

Alice, another of this class for those who do not know, travels around on a hired skip lorry.

Perhaps they do, but they also do it with Alice, though it doesn't actually go in a skip.
