Shocking wall paper
« on: Tuesday 14 August 12 22:19 BST (UK) »
Please can someone do a touch up?  The wall paper is a real shocker, my nan deserves a better background.

First thoughts were - that wallpaper is part of your Nan's history - future generations might not thank you for hiding it. So, I did a toned down version for you.

But then I thought - if she can go to Eastbourne, why not go to Middle earth?  ;)
