Evening all,
Just a note to point out that I haven't let this go - its just that its
bigger 'n Ben Hur (or do we now say bigger 'n Gladiator for the sake of the
young people :-)
Its six pages and about fifty pics. Pages one to four are done, and the
last two are a bit simpler (because by the middle of page five, just about
everything except the dirt was on fire).
By the weekend I think.
So if you have any more additions to make to the text, now might be a good
time.
Richard
Still baldly going...
