The picture means so much more Alan, after reading your very descriptive narrative. Thank you. Look forward to seeing her smily face later in the year.

'An expression that would curdle milk...' Oh, beautifully expressed!
I'm thinking Burns, 'Gathering her brows like gathering storm/Nursing her wrath to keep it warm'.
I love the story, and it's a pity not to have the beaming smile too for comparison.

An excellent image of this colourful local character Alan, what a great expression you've captured, if looks could kill! She reminds me a bit of the character Mrs Wainwright in "Last of the Summer Wine" who ran an antiques shop and didn't let people leave the establishment unless they had purchased something!

This reminds me of a film that I watched a long time ago, when an American ship arrived in the same sort of waters where your shot was taken, but all that I can remember from the the film was that the girl said "You Want Suck Johnny"...possibly starred John Wayne in his heyday!
