Blimey! FIRE THE GUNS AND LET THE BELLS RING!
Paint me pink and call me TICKLED!


I've spent the winter clicking through Shropshire! (Saw some wonderful country.) No wonder this relative was lost! My Mom will be so surprised.

Thank you, thank you EVERYONE!    ;D

Hurray solved.

Have just come in from night shift and now I will sleep soundly.

Well done Jim, and everyone else.  Who would have thought that photo would have generated such interest.

Excellent work,
