While the following list is admittedly not exhaustive, it’s indicative of the declining amount of green exterior paints offered on new vehicles. Unless the model has a “young, funky” reputation, don’t expect green to be one of the available colors stoic, bland hues like grey are all you’ll find. JADE is the author of Captivated, Sleeping Darkness, and My Soul to Reap. In fact, green is so rare in 2018 models that it’s more common to find orange or yellow available! How surprising that what used to be such a popular car color is nearly absent in 2018. This year, there are even fewer automakers offering green exterior paints plus, automakers who hadn’t offered green in the past (like Buick, Chrysler, Hyundai, and Mazda) haven’t added the color to their lineup. ![]() She is a lover of visual arts and needs to be creative or she'll go insane E. Due to the overwhelming positive response from readers, and many who voiced frustration at the lack of green cars available today, we’re returning with our 2018 list.

In that case, the surveyor had ‘pointed to some old stumps, which he said had been marked…defendant would not admit that the cross line marked by me on the plan was not part of his boundary…he said it ran to a black stump beyond the line, which he said had been marked….’ ![]() ‘Black Stump’ wine of Australia supposedly traces its name back to the 1830s and a landmark ruling following a boundary dispute in the state of New South Wales. ![]() It is a wine that doesn’t want to take itself too seriously and flourished from its free-spirited 1960s start in a garage. Just as we had relished the free sensation of walking barefoot, so the wine name encapsulates the belief ‘that when you follow your heart there’s no limit to how far your vine will grow’. ![]() ‘Barefoot’ wine is a personal favourite of mine which I came across on my trip to Florida last year! The very first morning, before even unpacking or shopping for food, we walked barefoot along the beach – it was a feeling of pure pleasure and exhilaration and when we later spotted the quirky-named ‘Barefoot’ with its delightful drawing we knew we had to buy it. ![]() ![]() Just something that would have made it clearer as to who it was and when it happened. It would have helped to have better indicators of this, maybe with a small symbol of who’s story is being told or a date. It didn’t help that there were no speech marks to indicate who was speaking and where the dialogue began and ended. It wasn’t always clear when or who’s perspective it was in and found it hard to read at times. ![]() What I struggled with was the constant jump in time. This is a really great example of a writing technique of showing and not telling but I really wished that they showed a lot more of this (if I’m correct when I say that Etta has dementia). It was clear to me, but it wasn’t completely clear in the novel. Naming her friend after her dead, unborn nephew, becoming confused and mistaking herself for Otto. It isn’t clear in the story, but I believed that Etta had dementia. I haven’t read a lot of books where the main characters are achieving and doing new things at this age and to be able to read this is a really refreshing take. I feel that there aren’t enough books with main characters like this. ![]() It was really inspirational to read and just showed how you can achieve anything, no matter what age you are. This is such a unique story, reading about individuals in their old age pursuing new adventures in life, Etta on her adventure to the sea and Otto with his artwork. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This time he’s not just fighting terrorists.
