# Hallo Ninj!
How was Norfolk for you? Was it nice?

# Brilliant!
Ta Moley. It was red hot and very tranquil, then I arrived!! It is a beautiful part of the world down there, lovely people. But gosh how I've missed you so...:-)

# Missed you too!
I've had a few days back in my old home town of Nottingham. Didn't recognise lots of it. Still a great city, though, but it's great to be back in Norfolkland again.

# That's just spooky!
Here I am working in Nottingham and you've just gone back down to Norfolk! We must have missed each other by minutes! Whereabouts in Norfolk are you sir?

# Alright Toasty? How on earth does one animate a background like that?
I tried all sorts and still looks ropey...
Any tips will be much appreciated.

# with great difficulty
I would say you want 3 frames that clearly show a tree moving back before reaching the location of the 1st one on frame 4.
Do this for both sides but offset.

The problem you have here is that there are too many trees to deal with. Might be easiest to start without any trees, make one on a seperate layer and duplicate that. People aren't going to notice that they are the same tree.

# You star!
Top tip. Thanks very much.

# make a few larger background copies and duplicate them all
then for each frame, show 2 backgrounds, 1/2 the loop length apart.
Fade the top bg layer out from 100% to 0% over the length of the loop.

or something like that!

# Hurry . . .
there's no end to it !

# It looks pretty good to me
The brain seems to compensate for any "ropeyness", in that it assumes the background is supposed to be moving forwards (or sometimes backwards!)
