The end of the yellow bucket! Betty's happy!
When we were making a brew in the drinks area we were unable to put water down the sink till the drains were connected.
In the meantime we have been using a yellow bucket to get rid of any water. But not any longer!
Just testing the facilities! And with kind thanks to the Veolia Envoronmental Trust for a grant of £12,000 towards the drains.
