Thank you for telling us, John

Two more strangers making spam posts today

Two sets of odd posts today by Florencehyng & Adrianayng, think I’ve got the names right

Why thank you, kind sir! I try not to offer spam!

I’ve heard the student is really enjoying her time at Horsham. She seems to be an assistant housemistress in Coleridge, and is coaching junior rugby. Having asked for my maiden name I’ve been shown a picture of my name on one of the Honours boards by the Court Room.

I don’t know what she is doing ...

I don’t often pay that much for a book, nowadays!

Chrissy, you’ve missed a few, I can add a suspenders belt, swimming costume and face flannel. We could also bring a pot of home-made jam and some sweets, both of these being locked away most of the time. I think we also had a pair of tennis shoes.

I do remember my father giving the Lenten addresses ...

I hadn’t thought about blue dye being cheapest. I know that woad and indigo were often the earliest developed dyes in many parts of the world - except Borneo where they developed rusty reds instead.

Thanks, you could well be right! I hope I will learn, and her opinion on the place. The interview was online not face to face so she hasn’t been to Horsham yet.
