Thanks for all your replies.
In future I will try and get a reading on a more on a more neutral grey or carry card.

You can buy quite cheaply grey neutral cards made of plastic to carry with you, these enable you to take a shot of the card in the lighting conditions prevalent at the time and use this to set the WB in your camera. I never bother with this as I always shoot RAW and adjust in Adobe Camera RAW, I find this much easier and more accurate, but if you're not confident or bothered about software processing the grey card is probably the best way.
