They look good Pete. Colour really brings the pictures to life.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Oh yes, thanks John. As you may guess, I was only looking at the second lot, and had forgotten the subjects of the first ones!

Some excellent results there Pete. I particularly like the one of the older Enid in front of Green Hedges. The colour is kinder to her than the black and white.

I don't know what's going on in the photo but I do know you've made a very good job of colouring them. Well done, Pete.
