My sister, who knows about these things, says that my only problem is lack of experience and skill will come with time. To be fair, I wasn't bad when taking instruction from my Mum in the way of DIY as a youngling. And Kathleen may only know about these things because she redecorates more often than I drink alcohol.
With any luck, one day I'll be like Da Vinci in more than being able to write backwards....
