Hello from Western Australia

[Auntyjan]

Thankyou for that amazingly impressive list of forums...how do you normally get to them...just click forums? Or type Derbyshire(for example) into the search bar? Everybody seems very friendly and helpful around here...it just looks so quiet and peaceful when you first arrive that you can't imagine all the conversations on all those threads...certainly looks interesting

Sorry, I meant to say that in my original message! Yes, click on 'Forum' at the very top of the page to get to that list.

The search tool is very useful too, for finding old threads. As well as the on-site search tool you can just use Google. The whole forum is regularly trawled by spiders from Google etc., so even very new forum threads can be found by Google: sometimes it is scary how quickly that happens!

Yes the internet and google are amazingly powerful...and a little scary. But that's how I came to be here after googling Hopkinson I came to Robert's thread and discovered a common interest and a distant cousin and a new(to me) website which I'm sure will prove very helpful.
