Its fun to stay at the…Y.M.C.A!

Hello again. I must start off by adding in what I accidentally missed out from last weeks blog. We had another field trip this time to Transocean’s Training Centre. We got a tour of what their engineers would be trained on. I found it really exciting as my Dad worked for Transocean for 25 years...

By Morning Light, Muse and a BIG Cup of Coffee
