Hi Maria
I just noticed the Dec 31 1969 date on this - surely a computer mistake (I have had similar weird dates show up when I forget to enter them in the correct format) - do you know the actual date?

No date
Thanks Hannah for spotting this, I've just fixed. Alas the exact date of this photo has been lost. It was autumn 2003.
