Hullo 2004

Well if cash becomes available.
I will certainly rejoin SoG

Even if I am too old to stand the journey, without spending a fortune on taxis, or that there is much to criticise, I still feel that SoG is well worthy of support.

Meanwhile I will be working with original documents at archives in Bristol, Copenhagen and Gwent - all also about two hours from Birmingham but closer to the train stations involved.

I blog, scribble on the web, here at blogspot .com
