Now I just have to buy the prints - which tbh I'm more likely to do with teh greater choice offered on Flickr, rather than being limited to what currently on offer in the shop as I envision buying for birthday presents. I'm time-poor-cash-rich though so I would like you to print it and frame it - might that be an option in future. For a markup. Would be happy to pick it up from your market stall or wherever rather than rely on Royal Mail. Ok, I’m buying your argument.

Your work may fit the CC music model much more closely than other photographers' in that your images will appeal to individuals who will make the personal connection of paying. I expect and hope you will be continually surprised in how successful your approach will be.
