    I hope you all had a lovely Christmas celebration. We've been fighting a variety of Creeping Crud, down here on the Gulf Coast of Texas, so I've been unable to read daily. But I've read all the posts for your Advent calendar now. Thank you again for doing that--it was an interesting and fitting way to honor those who served in WWI.

    Happy New Year, Archiver, and to everyone there at the Orkney Archives. I hope 2019 brings you all good health and a year full of much joy.

    Sue.
