I leave today for a six week trip to various archives in Ireland and England, so my email reading and responding may be intermittent. To partly fill that gap, I started a blog yesterday in which I will try to record my progress. Some of it will be arcane research gleanings - not for the faint of heart. Other bits may be about places I have stayed and food I have enjoyed - ephemeral stuff. So far, I have only the one post. After all, I just created the blog yesterday. It is very rudimentary since I don't really know what I am doing. You can see it at: http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/ Enjoy, Sharon PS - for those who follow my Irish research, I posted a great swat of new material late last night.SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/index.html -- Sharon Oddie Brown Roberts Creek, BC, Canada.
