Ah, sorry about that....the stones are set in the fret where MOP would usually be xxx I can see them but I know what I'm looking at! x
Hi Caroline....at long last....here are some photos of the finished ukulele...it is so blingy but my photographing skills don't do it justice. In the light, the sapphires look like little blue...

Yep, they started learning together via Youtube about 5 years ago then they set up a little, local group and hired a tutor and the group learned together. The group is now about 25 strong and they...

Hi Caroline, thanks so much for that, you are a star. I am seeing my dad today so will show him and speak to him. Can you give me a rough idea of cost please? Nic x

OMG this is amazing - aaaaagggghhh going to spend so much that I don't have! Thanks re the ring Enigma - it was a a spare/ useless earring she had feelings with.
Wow - I had no idea you could buy rolling papers - brilliant - I feel a shopping spree coming on....! I've only used my rolling mill twice (ebay bargain) - tend to keep it away from the damp. cold...
OMG those cufflinks are so cool - Lego has been around for over 80 years and will never go out of fashion. Great stuff. Love the cuffs too - are they rolled or etched? x
I bought 20 A4 sheets off Ebay from China (I wasn't in a rush) - cost me about £5. Came quickly and worked well in the printer and for etching. It wasn't blue though - yellow? The only problems I...
