The iron work structure is amazing and hugely decorative. Great shot of the tracery of the palm against the tracery of the glasshouse, Sue, really like that one.... I would think that has Grreting card potential!

You are so right Anthony....a wonderful report....I particularly enjoyed the typo re: my very good friends; 'The immaculate Brain and Shelagh Smethurst
"!    I shall always refer to him as that from now on.  Anyone else remember the Mekon?

That was on my mother's side Cliff. Actually I do remember reading copies of the Eagle comic in our local (Stirling - magnificent building built with money from some chap called Carnegie) library. History section, I think? ;)
