Hi to all,

Firstly , thankyou all for the lovely comments , they really are very much appreciated and I have to say I'm quite taken a back with the response , I've never received so many lovely comments before so thanks once again.

Secondly , at no point whilst sitting on the canal bank had I thought about recreating Danny's award winning image , so if you see this image Danny , the similarity wasn't intentional , it wasn't until I'd downloaded the files to the pc that likeness became apparent.

Thanks once again for all the lovely comments.

Regards

Andy... :smile:
