Morning Sue,
Sylvia and I have now returned home after an enjoyable stay in Newcastle for the Heritage Open Day events. We really enjoyed our tour of 36 Lime Street, and we would like to thank Mike, yourself and all the resident artists who made the visit so engaging. Thanks again.

Hi Sue 
Thanks for the tour around 36 on Thursday. Fascinating and very illuminating as we didn't know much about the building. Good luck to you all and thanks again to everyone.
