Happy New Year!

Bit late, I know, and NO, I haven't been on Second LIfe all this time - or even a fraction of it, to be honest. Just got back from Christmas and New Year in the homeland. Nice few days in Manchester (thought of taking a pic of Manchester Piccadilly, the station that's the gateway to the world if you're born in the area). Rather tedious days with family but I've learned a lot from it (like, don't do this again...).

And the latest all absorbing pursuit? Tracking my family. Have found four generations on in just three weeks - pretty exciting stuff. Found that many of my folks were cotton weavers and spinners. An alarming number of them died of bronchitis - hmmm...
