Was Butterflylady, now Vanessa

[Vanessa]

Hello everyone!

Hurrah!!! I've found you again. I had a brainwave at midnight last night and googled 'Diamondlil' and Diamondlil's blog came up - bingo!!

What a shame that all the reviews and posts have been lost.:( It'll soon build up again, though. I belong to another site which kept crashing due to hackers. In the end they had to start a completely new board, but it's soon built up.

Welcome back! You know, I had never thought of googling diamondlil!

Hey ButterflyLady!

[Leyland]

Well done! I e-mailed Susan H (boswellbaxter) through her website about a day after the site went down to find out what was going on and then she graciously kept me informed when she had this one up. If I hadn't thought of that, then I hope I would have done the same as you did finding diamondlil!

And ... it's great that you did. Good to see you back.

Welcome Vanessa!

Welcome back Vanessa - it will take a while to think of you as that.

Which reminds me: why have some people changed their nickname on this site compared to the old one? Is there some technical reason, or just a case of out with the old, in with the new?

Hi everyone. Alice formerly known as ...er....Alice, back and reporting for duty. (Stands to attention and salutes). Good to see you all again. :D

Hi Alice!

Glad you found us again.

Whoops! forgot to post a greeting, Vanessa. Hi.

[tsjmom]

Glad you found it again! I did something similar - I went to her blog.

Oops, I forgot to say hi and thanks to Vanessa for letting me know about the new site. :)

I don't know really. It's my name, I suppose. LOL.

Hi Alice and hello again to everyone else!

It's amazing how, if you really want to find something, you do do so eventually! Most members have slowly come trickling back by hook or by crook.

Hi, suppose I should introduce myself! Found this website by accident a few weeks ago, it's great to have one dedicated to HF. I buy books mainly by Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick and Barbara Erskine, with a few others along the way, also a couple of Anya Seton's books. I don't read HF as often as I should, in case I get stuck so much in the past that I don't want to read any of my hundreds of books set more in less in the present! I also like historical crime eg Susanna Gregory, C J Sansom etc.
