    I did mate, set out the main tiles then put the border in and then quartered the square, dry laid a tile right in the centre and laid more tiles dry going out towards the border put the centre piece on top of the dry laid tiles, marked around the centre piece and cut out the circle

    Mick, did you design the mosaic too, or did you buy it in from somewhere else? I only ask, because i wouldn't know where to start, but would love to do that kind of work.
