Yours is rather gorgeous as well; I particularly liked the "other"
Spitfire in the background of the picture!

I've been working on that for the last few days, and I think I may have
the answer...
The first name to pop into my head was Carolyn - for no reason I could
ascertain - this then mutated into Caroline, which was slightly better,
but not right. I then had a blinding flash of 1970s inspiration, and
came up with Purdey (Joanna Lumley in "The New Avengers", not the
shotgun manufacturer). This was nice but, I thought, a little
presumptuous, so I decided to sleep on it. I woke up this morning with
what I think is "the answer" - Carly. First of all it is an accurate
description (CARL[ight]Y[ellow]); secondly, I had a huge crush on a girl
called Carly in 1977, and thirdly, you can't get much more
archetypically Seventies than Carly Simon.
What do you think?
