Thank you!

Thank you for all your help, I knew you'd point me in the right direction.
I've a couple of people ask for assistance, which is great as I was clueless before.
Another by product of this request is that I've been exposed to a multitude of new blogs, I can't wait to go back and have a proper look at them all.
I went to college with a fantastic bookmaker so have a real interest in it, whilst realising it's a craft to admire from afar and not try to actually do.

Getting a little paranoid about my powers of recollection I have just looked again for my Snow Queen source.

Non other than Hans Christian Anderson wrote,''My sledge! Do not forget my sledge!" It was the first thing he thought of. It was there tied to one of the white chickens, who flew along with it on his back behind the large sledge. The Snow Queen kissed Kay once more, and then he forgot little Gerda, grandmother, and all whom he had left at his home.
"Now you will have no more kisses," said she, "or else I should kiss you to death!''

See, I'm not crazy!
So the sledge and the chicken is a goer then?
