The border is a little distracting. The picture is quite miminalist - your border should be to

Re: the mumbles...with or without border ?

That takes me back. I remember (when I lived in Swansea) the Mumbles. Had a bad night out at the nightclub by the pier and ended up in hospital.

PS

I quite like the border.
