Not as bad as an American student I once had; she didn't know who Satchmo or George Washington were, at the age of 22.


Come to think of it, what is a Zepplein?

It sounds like the market square in the Frisian town of Zep.

I've ordered some badgers and foxes and deer and horses.  :D

I've also ordered some lions and rhinos and hippos and giraffes. Does anyone know (or can suggest) why?

I think I just fancied painting some different animals.

What about WWI in Africa?

I like your Canucks, btw. I didn’t know that late ww2 system of white stars was still in use. Makes sense giving our tendency to shoot at anything that can’t be immediately identified.

At last I've had yet another go at the head, Will...(I'd completely forgotten it........ still sitting in the drying tin)..I think it resembles a meerkat a lot more than it did before.
