EMAIL ADDRESS

if you send me an email or make an entry in the guestbook, please add my email to your safe list or make sure you check your junk mail folder, mostly I get a reply back re any emails I answer but occasionally I will send a long lookup and never hear anything again, I can only assume my email was lost due to junk folders, a few recent emails took quite a while to complete, its soul destroying to think they were lost in the 'email washing machine'

I have tried to fix any anomalies as I go along but I'm sure I don't always get them all, for instance while typing Moores and there are plenty I found a Morris stuck in amongst them, if that is your Morris you could easily miss them, always search the page using Edit and (Find on this page)
