Tin cleaning

Started to clean the tins - the label on the side which has the collecting tin reference and location have to be cleaned off and the seal removed ready for this years seal.  Every year there is a different colour and each seal has a unique number.  This number is also referenced on the box of poppies.              

I managed to do all of them in one night - one job done!!
