*completed with thanks* Restoration for grandma please
« on: Monday 28 May 07 17:32 BST (UK) »
Hi all.

Is there any chance you could clean up my husbands grandmother for me please? It is the only photo he has of his paternal grandparents, so is very precious to him!

Thank you kindly in advance

Thanks very much Indaloman.

My hubby will be over the moon!

He is so lucky to have saved this photo. He asked around the whole family for no real reason about 6 months ago & his sister had just thrown a lot of old photo's that she didn't want out. Digging down the bin rescued this one! 24 hours later & it would have never seen the light of day again.

It would have been nice if she had asked around 1st!

Thank you again.

Wow Woodentop50 & Dyingout, these are great!
I can't wait to see my husbands face when he sees these.
They are beyond my wildest expectations.

You're all wizards to be able to rescue this pic so well.

A million thanks to you all.

Oh people, you are wonders.

They are so cleaned up that I'm now wondering what my hubby's father has in his hand! i'll have to do a bit of close up investigating!

Once again, thank you all ever so much.
