Oh, this comment got sent then!

I had a lot of problems with this image, working on an old laptop that kept on crashing I was glad I'd finally finished.

I accidently re-sized the picture to 299 x 277 PIXELS, when I uploaded it the thumbnail was the same size, even blinking didn't make it any bigger!

Struth, thank goodness it was only the third last save that got smaller, the original was only 800 Pixels, any more this machine would roll over and die.

My mother always told me "it was the thought that counts". This one is for you Joy!
