And that would be a St Andrew's cross if I am right.<br /><br />Our fascination with typeface/fonts gains a head of steam. I agree that this one appears much more modern than it obviously is.<br /><br />I will match your deer with my kangaroos of last week, VS.<br /><br />Thank you for your continued participation in the Taphophile Tragics meme.

We asked her what it was like living there.<br />She said,'Oh, it's all right. It's nice and quiet.'persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.com
