I took some pictures, of course!

I looked left and saw...Daleks!
Not only that, my favourite 'Christopher Eccleston' era ones!

Me - next to a dalek - for scale, I am 5 foot 11 inches tall!
And of course, opposite, was a Tardis!- it was amusing having my sister with me as she is a GP, so we had the doctor and the Tardis!
