I have a decree from the Croft that my official title will be “The Regal Roslyn” and who am I to contradict!
May I begin by wishing everyone a “Happy & Prosperous 2010”! As you may well have heard, crofter has just won the Crossword known as Enigmatic Variations so the year starts off well for him, at least. As he has already guessed from my username, I was born on Christmas Day 1955. This usually means that Birthday presents and Christmas presents merge into one!
Basically, I’m a Lancashire lass, born in Preston and grew up in the small villages of Grimsargh and Whitechapel before leaving for Leeds University in 1973. For the past 32 years, Derbyshire has been our home, however “You can take the lass out of Lancashire, but you can’t take Lancashire out of the lass” is often true!
Thanks for your encouragement this am - and glad to know your history'
last time I was in derbyshire I was studying dippers in the Dove - lovely birds.
I see I was right with the LV - normal blokes would have said happy 55 but I was
trying to be discreet - and anyway I read classics and not maths !
