If I had been consulted, I would have named it: "smooth, round pebble in a bowl of sand on a windy day at the shore". It is probably self-evident why no one from a paint factory is eager to hire me.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-4974277914547761252018-04-24T19:13:46.007+01:002018-04-24T19:13:46.007+01:00Magnolias (and any kind of blossom) against a blue...Magnolias (and any kind of blossom) against a blue sky is one of my favourite things...
