Tudor, do you have broadband? The files are quite large, and it
takes the
best part of a minute even with ADSL ... much longer, I guess,

on
dial-up. It may be my inexperience with scanners, images, etc,

but
I've tried hard to make them smaller, with only limited success.


I've looked at image sizes in my temporary internet cache and see

you did
get number 1 down to 89kb whilst the other three are over 500kb.

My guess
is those three could be compressed more.

Mike, you are far too kind ... I was obviously much too keen
to publish my scratchings and I didn't even check the image sizes.
I hope it's better now.

I bring the same skills to my website that I use to bake bread.
Just guess the quantities, throw them all into a mixing bowl, and
hope it turns out OK. After 25 years of baking bread my loaves
turn out perfectly time after time ... so there's still hope for my
webpages if anyone cares to hang around long enough.
