Hello everyone,

Well I took Sue's advice and started up an MSN group to host some of my pictures of home etc.
Only posted 5 on there so far but I have at least 191 to go at after the recent visit of my friend from Louisiana.
Some nice historical local attractions to come too so for anyone with an interest in Old, English and particularly Staffordshire then please take a peek at:

http://groups.msn.com/StaffordshireLad/shoebox.msnw?Page=Last

Even put some pretty Delphiniums on there for Darlene

Bill.

PS It's now 7 photos and it gives you a little flavour.
