Hi all you clever restorers

Could someone please have a go at improving this photo of my husband & our friend as the colours have faded. He is actually wearing army green denims.

Thank you in anticipation

Hi Mudge, Terry and Hippy

Thank you very much for your fine work. I am amazed how you have produced a silk purse from a dogeared original.

Well done

Best wishes

From Mark, Wendy's husband

Wendy

Dwile Flonking is an old Norfolk/Suffolk 'ritual' that needs the consumption of vast amounts of ale  ;D ;D ;D ;D

There are many references to it on the Internet and has been shown on a number of TV programmes recently
