“We Silver Surfers are all capable of using the simple technology available to make a slide presentation and save it to a disc that can be played on any other PC.

“We are the guardians of the nostalgia. Rather than storing these precious memories in old shoe boxes, we should be scanning them, enhancing them and turning them into beautiful coffee-table books that everyone will be excited with and want to look at again and again.

“Come along for tea and a chat and see if there is something that will interest you.”
