    You will never get a naked swimmer through the letter box. Better wait for the postman on the driveway.

    Doh! Although my postie is very accommodating, he changes his route if he knows I've ordered any queens, to deliver quicker.

Yes, there's always cost (AKA you can never have too much kit...).
    Hi Susbees
    The reason they don't stock many tiny sable brushes is that for watercolour painting a well made sable No6 has a very fine point when wet which means small detail can be painted with a larger brush that holds much more paint and is more versatile

    couple of pages to browse for brushes during the long Winter
