Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.
At the beginning of August 2025, Chris and I went on an adventure to London, to attend the Dan’s Fund For Burns away day. Although it was an away day, we stayed for a few nights.
I talk about the first part of our adventure in the video below. Please have a look:
Below are photos of the accessible room we first got. As you can see, I really felt that the room was just “thrown” together and the shower room was a bit difficult for me to use, especially whilst sitting on the low stool and trying to reach the shampoo/shower gel. It was a very comfortable room, even though it didn’t have the view…!
