Cold water before the industrial age had to have been pretty bright and blue looking or at least that's my thinking. The scenic pictures with the vikings and boat were excellent! I hope your move goes well! I've still got another week before I move I'd say. If people didn't know better, I think that we might be accused of moving slowly so as to try and squeeze more hobbying in before hand :DKuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-16883646218290242612021-05-28T06:19:37.705-07:002021-05-28T06:19:37.705-07:00Thanks Simon! 😀Thanks Simon! 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-49879542211438860012021-05-28T06:19:21.667-07:002021-05-28T06:19:21.667-07:00Thanks A lot Tony.
