Hi Sally,

Yes, lovely. I think the skill in doing a series of zips is to combine their
ability to stand alone and join together. You succeed admirably here. I
particularly like the end zip with the lost gloves and sudden realisation of
where they are, it stops what came before seeming over serious.
