Thanks again from two very happy people.  Sue and Phil Clapham   Tia - Just wanted to let you know, Tia's portrait arrived this morning and it's perfect. Thank you very much. Don't know if this helps at all but my comments to you about your website is that I coudn't fault it. For people who are not all that literate where the internet is concerned (me for one) it's lovely to be able to enter a site and have really easy to follow instructions about what's available and easy and unserstandable prices etc. Your blog is really good too, I'm glad you managed to take time out to do it. I love animals myself and it was brill looking at all your mob (you've certainly got your hands full). I honestly wouldn't have known you were new to this side of things as your website is great and you handle your business very professionally whilst keeping the friendly factor. I'm really glad you agreed to do Tia's portrait. Thanks so much again and hope to do business again some day. Andrea Allen  Silka - Clive (Dad) brought Silka's painting this morning to Salperton, and I am delighted with it, so thank you so much. Got to decide where to put them, which could be a problem!!
