Hi Joe,
I was just scrolling slowly down this topic
when I saw the roof of your 2nd photo. I thought
for one minute that this was someones restoration.
I couldn't wait to see who had done it & how.
Ah well you will have to make do with our brave
efforts.

I'm not sure if I actually changed it that much, but here you go.

Hi Joe, (Oh ye of little faith)
When did I say I wasn't going to have a go?
I think that the bottom of the walls would be a diamond pattern
but as I couldn't find proof, I've left it rather bland. I've also cut the
grass and pruned the bushes. I also did a bit of pointing. I wasn't
going to paint the fence ( I hate painting)
Seriously, they certainly liked plants.I think that I have omitted quite a few.
Thanks for the modern photo.It made it quite easy but very involving.
Really enjoyed it. Hope you like it but as it's Sunday I have had to rush it a bit.

Hi Joe,
Curses, I have just looked at the original and would appear
to have cut their legs off. That's with rushing. Back to the drawing board.
I will try to correct it tomorrow.

That's brilliant Tomkin - well done !!
See what a bit of persuasion can do 
Joe said "I thought I was asking too much....never mind at least I tried.....thanks for looking anyway."
Now he knows how to get your "gander" up next time 
Cheers

Hi Keith,
I had already done it before I read Joe's comment.
It's force of habit but I turn off my internet when I have checked my e-mails,
or been on the web etc
I know I don't have to, but I have it on automatic switch off. Less time on
the web less chance of being hacked etc.
Anyway did I see somewhere that you had been to Manchester
or is that my imagination.
If you did I hope you avoided the snow.

Hi Sharon, Anna and Tomkin,
I may have seemed to be of little faith, but I knew that someone would come up with the goods....and coulored goods at that!
I can't believe results that Tomkin has achieved.......am over the moon!
Regards
Joe
