I'm wondering if we should make this one a fortnight, given that Christmas and New Year are upon us!
Just an idea....

Yes might be a good idea - we usually do.

I'm sorry for not addressing this before but I'm happy to extend the deadline. I'll wait a little in case there are any strenuous objections and then modify the posts.

Fine by me too, especially if we can extend the next one too. Both Jinky and I are either very busy or have no proper internet access.
Haven't heard from Ogga yet, but unless he has a subject for the new comp and the time to put it up, I would like to wait till Tuesday, as full service from my side will resume then. Unless we get more snow, and I am marooned in Sheffield.

I'm sure the three of us will be able to work something out by then.

All, sorry for being offline.  Busy Xmas and today is my birthday so not been checking the site.  I've updated the threads to reflect the extended deadline.

Well the New Year has found me totally lacking in both imagination and mojo.
So here us my 'unoriginal'

Looks like there are going to be a couple of similar entries Jen - I was thinking along the same lines, but with a slightly different feel. :)

I have my idea but have been too poorly to do it. Will try to pull together an entry today but no promises. I'm feeling slightly better today but nowhere near well.

OK, I have done my old & new image. I have old traditions to bring in a new year.

Had to go to town today and took the camera, 'just in case.' Not really up to it, as I have a streaming cold. Literally streaming from my eyes. Everything looked distorted, so I had to trust the camera, and this is what it came up with:

Architecture Old and New(ish)
