For my regular visitors this new layout may have come as a bit of a shock. However I feel is was long over due.
Those of you lucky enough to have the Ashley font face on your computers have seen the other layout as I intended; but I have become increasingly aware that that font was not as universally available as I had originally imagined. So a change was needed.
This new layout should be in Verdana font face and the colour
choice is intended to be restful on the eyes. Certainly I found 
it
restful while I was doing the cut and paste needed to transfer the text from
one site to the other.
I continue to tweak the photos as I have very few good enough to just put up but there is a gallery page(s) planned. Keep watching. In the mean time I'd like feed back from my "customers" to know what you think. E-mail me. I'd also be interested in any suggestions or requests on additions or improvements to the site. Polite ones will be replied to and may even be included.
