Very well done clara4457. That was very wise of you to seek
out expert advice to help indentify the problems & get guidence
on how to go about correcting them.That's a BIG step forward.
It really shows your deep commitment & love for Leo & Penny
Lane. I do wish you the very best of luck & think you have all
the right instincts to make this work out well.
