So sorry about this my friends, but I am running into the most annoying technical problems. I have taken several more photos, although not as many as I would have liked due to the weather and my current physical limitations. These have been successfully stored on my PC however either my Broadband link is so slow (which is the most likely cause) or my PC is at fault (unlikely) that I am unable to get any of them on to my Photobucket album - the link constantly times-out before I can get into Photobucket. I believe it is the Broadband link as it is notoriously slow (we're told we will be given a fibre-optic installation next year to improve matters!).

I will, of course, keep trying but as you know without that intermediate stage I am unable to post more images here. Believe me, I deeply regret this situation.

Derek, I will forward the scarf to you as soon as possible so that you have it for your deadline. My apologies to you and to everyone who has worked so hard to make this venture a success.

Take care,
Ham.
