Spot-on, manxman and Lady K, and well-worked out flotsam!  My apologies, Mad - I hadn't heard of his rose period. ! Googled something like "what colour periods is Picasso associated with and took "blue and pink" as Gospel  Marian - thanks for the heads-up on that! Koala - a rare "I'm afraid not"  Will zoom out in a couple of days...
