I can't seem to be able to post photos from my iPad. The 'host' box just sits there looking confused....

I tap on the 'send' button and it doesn't......

I've not tried to post pics from an iPad. Has anyone else managed it ? My wife has one so if I can get it off her for a few mins I'll test it out.

Lovely recipe idea. They recently had a pack of courgettes in Asda at 67p, not sure whether they are currently that price - will have to check, but that's a good price and would come in very handy for this recipe idea.

Thanks .........

All the best Jan
