I found a copy of the website from back in 2003 today, I remember the old green and cream layout well.

This was my 3rd or 4th version of the site, I think the previous one had a speckled background and things like a visitor counter, 'top site' badge and a guest book - remember those?   *smiley-grin*

Yep, speckled background, I found an earlier version lurking on an old hard drive from the 90s  :)

I'm sure most of you won't be interested in these old screenshots - but it keeps me amused.

When I started the website, computers and dial up connections were painfully slow, mobiles were heavy and only for calls/texts - and mine was one of these!
