Hi Graham,
Yep your translation is pretty good, I am really looking forward to both days, The xmas day I have a few brand new designs, which I hope will go down well,
The twisters day promises to be a lot of fun also, i look forward to seeing a lot of old friends
                                                                              many thanks
                                                                                             Colin

Graham is correct you can use broad curling ribbon to make the hair, or make a balloon
hat for her to wear, which I always thik is easier than making the hair
                                                                           Colin

Aww I thought it was Graham trying a new approach with me  :twisted:
Oh well back to the balloons everyone

Have a great time Graham, and look after the big guy from America

I know this elephant does not meet Graham's criteria, but I thought I would post it anyway.
Graham knows the elephant well, because I kept him awake while I was making it  

Back home again, gosh the rain was horrible, but it was worth while, I had a great time in Leeds
I thought Shirley's lecture was brilliant, and Daniel's was looking great,
Thanks Graham and Lynn for putting these days on, really they are great,
and thanks to everyone who attended for the warmth and frienship, even in my occasional
hour of need  
                                                                        best wishes
                                                                                    Colin
