New chapter to book completed and with the Publisher.
Thanks to every one who took the time to add a question they all helped.
I read them all and have tried to incorporate some answers into the chapter but mostly they wanted drawings etc. with only a small amount of text.
I will be picking a winner out of a hat as they were all great questions and mailing the winner
Hugs to all x
