I've been racing to keep up the new postings for Footlight Notes, as well as dealing with a backlog of e-mail enquiries. The latter, especially, have suffered, for which I apologise; and visitors to the site might notice that some of the weekly updates have appeared in the past, albeit with added information. The truth of the matter is that my wife and I are about (fingers crossed!) to move house and half our possessions are already packed. Buying and selling houses in England is far from easy - the system is not only antiquated but every 'improvement' the Government puts into effect seems to make it more and more complicated! Add to that 18th century-minded legal people one is forced to deal with and the whole enterprise drags on and on and on.... So, please bear with me until the chaos subsides. Meanwhile, I hope you will keep visiting Footlight Notes, and don't forget to write although it may take a little time for me to reply. JC
