    great stuff chris - considering your paint was freezing on Sunday! Too difficult for me tho so I'll stick with the easier task of taking pics!

    On the same line as Mark, my misquotation would be:- "Those who can, paint. Those who can't (like me), take photos!" Really lovely, Chris. Well Done.
