I've been helping a friend trace some rellies from here to Banff to Stirlingshire to Norwich to Durham, so a bit behind.

A simple one to be going on with. Colour might be a while...

Simple but very effective - makes a lovely contrast to the coloured versions

Thank you Gadget & thanks also for putting up with all my schoolboy imaging questions  :) :)

I have the feeling that she was trying not to grin - sparkly eyes and lips a bit tight together!

Don't worry about the scanning probs, etc., just ask away. I've been helping people get their scanning sorted for years. It started with Wiggy when she first started putting up photos for us to restore. I stayed up nearly all night getting her sorted but she's  pretty good at it these days. She's a restorer now   ;D ;D ;D

I agree - looks like she would have been a fun person to know  :D

Wow! thanks Andy - you can certainly see the difference in the finish when using the better quality image.

I think the black dress suits her well - this is turning into another fantastic collection.

Thanks
Keith

Not able to get onto my 'colouring' computer at the moment but tried this tea rose/cerulean tint to give her more warmth.

That's a lovely tint Gadget - it really suits her & the age of the photo

Thank you
