'But ... You Said Yellow!' features Michael Jones' painting series and his stories about Bill and Sheila, a retired Aussie couple who live in a tiny red and white caravan somewhere on the coast during the 1960s and 70s.
Michael decided that Bill and Sheila should have their own book, so that they can give you youngsters some tips on how to live in harmony - well, almost - and how to survive on practically nothing.
Bill is a knockabout bloke who views himself as a manly man. He exaggerates his expertise and abilities to all and sundry, especially Sheila, who likes to visit her mum when she's not engaging with the local CWA, attending their meetings and organising coffee mornings.
As you wander through Bill and Sheila's adventures in 'But ... You Said Yellow', you may recognise yourselves, your partners, or friends and rellies - particularly your grandparents or in-laws!
Please note: Any resemblance to any person alive or deceased, or just plain tired, is totally coincidental.
