Shall I - shan't I?  You've set the bar high Carol - splendid.

I do like a bit of a challenge and if it's going to rain tomorrow this may keep me occupied for a few hours  ;)  ;)  ;)

They are good, aren't they Mike. Made me  :-\ a bit when I saw them. Never mind, plod on regardless ...

That's just it, when you get a photo like this, isn't it Maggie ... just when you think it's safe to put it down you find something that could be better.

The more I look at the restores I've done the more I can see our Prime Minister staring back at me.   :o  :o

Oh Maggie, I thought that the man looked like cameron too, give him a different haircut and...... Each one has a slightly different look
Title: Re: One to work with.
Post by: Maggie. on Wednesday 11 April 12 09:31 BST (UK)
It's the hair line and hair style isn't it?  The jaw line as well probably.  I think I'd rather have George Clooney staring back at me but I don't think my talents are up to that  ;D
