Found a horse’s head in my bed.

… Only joking.
Emails have been exchanged. I’ll let you know when we arrange the ’shoot-out at noon’ in Library Square.

Or maybe we could get books from the local interest section of the library and throw them at each other. Though clearly I’d have no chance and would just get pelted with loads of books and possibly knocked out immediately if the big thick RCHME volumes were included.

Seriously though. There has been much emphasis on the inclusive nature of the York 800 York Stories project, and they’d like as many people as possible to be involved.

They’ll be busy collecting your stories, and I’ll keep adding my own photos and thoughts on local matters to these pages. Any thoughts on York you want to send me are welcome here too, as always, in the comment sections or by email.

I don’t want to say anything about the other site – or they might find fault with mine ;)
Some people would find this site visually rather flat and dull, perhaps.

I appreciate your kind words – and like your phrase ‘the real York Stories’.

Please keep on speaking up for thoughtfulness in the way you do so well.

Drake, your mention of Stormtroopers cheered me up in reminding me of Star Wars, and it cheered me up even more when Googling it led me to the fabulously-titled Wookieepedia … “the Star Wars Wiki” and learning that the Wookiee were the “People of the Trees”, and being reminded of Chewbacca being a “big walking carpet” (www.starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookiee)

I digress, but that delightful wiki/wookiee digression is an illustration of the wonders offered by this worldwide web, its endless information and quirky delights. My long-established corner of it is something I’ll continue to try to protect.
