(Less than 512 kbs) When you have a reply box open look down at the bottom left and click attachments and other options. Click on choose file, a dialogue box will open so you can look for your photo - I put them on the desk top so they are easy to find before I start to upload. Double click on the photo then click post.

The village had them displayed everywhere - even roundbouts some miles away them on wheelburrows.
The masters of the pumpkin led the parade of pumpkins escorted by French Horn players - I say French horns but they were massive and had no keys or stops..
never seen so many chutneys and jams made of pumpkins . good day out.

Sandy, you've got a photo programme? I know you are really good at doing things with photos -is it Photoshop maybe? I use Microsoft picture manager and just edit photos, then compress to document size. I don't have the software to do anything fancy.
