Congratulations to Kingston Upon Hull (though I see it is called just "Hull" on the internet). I found some interesting videos on YouTube about your being the UK City of Culture for 2017. I learned it is the only city with white telephone booths, for example, and that it was built to export wool, and that so many fisherman died while working out of Hull in days past. That blade must be amazing to see in person. Hope all's well with you and Pat these days - and Happy New Year to you both.
Thank you Sara, I get very annoyed when people use the name Hull even the organisers of the culture year do, the Hull isa muddy small river that runs into the river Humber. The title of Kingston originally Kings Town the name given to the city in 1299 by Edward 1st known as Edward the Confessor, later shown as Kingston, the people of Kingston upon Hull, its leaders and MPs should be proud of, however laziness wins in this day and age..
How are things with you all across there in the USA, seeing later this mont you get a new President! Pat and I are fine, last year I had a few ups and downs, things looking up now pleased to say.
