I don't write stories or novels, but I'm always amazed at what's available to be found, and as you say all the little details give a little extra ... fascinating about the glass being painted blue ... <br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296713653596646450.post-19223172006798326982016-10-12T07:50:20.086-07:002016-10-12T07:50:20.086-07:00Thanks, Keith.
