Hello Horatians

I just wanted to drop in and say hello to you all. Unfortunately I haven't dropped into Horatians for quite a while, as real life has been getting in the way and I have had to put my Hornblower ~~obsession~~ interest to one side and focus on work. I am having some time off at the moment, so hopefully I will be on here a little bit more often and also catch up on some reading and watching of films.

I am pleased to see a number of veterans from the old A & E boards are still around - I hope some of you remember me.

Here's hoping that all Horatians have a wonderful, safe and happy year in 2015.

Me too! (I've got a guy hopefully coming tomorrow to take a look at it - and I REALLY hope it'll be easily sorted out because I have every intention of getting to the National Archives - formerly the PRO - on Tuesday to do some research.)

Hi there Stacy (or is it Stacey with an "e"?)

I noticed your Scaryfangirl site was no longer up and wondered if you were still around. How's it going?
