Northern Neil Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 (edited) More of a 'hello again' rather than a new introduction. I joined the forum back in 2006 and sort of drifted out of the orbit around 2012, although sporadically sending the odd contribution since. New interests, several house moves, currently living in France after moving there from England in 2017, lots of guitar and double bass playing in Jazz, country and Rockabilly bands. Recently my Dad died and helping my daughter sort out all the house contents, I rescued a good amount of history books, and rediscovered my mums old photos of archaeological sites from when she was at university. My interest in Rome was rekindled! Although like the Empire itself it never technically died as I shifted my interest to the Byzantine, or rather Eastern Roman Empire. Work has, of course, resumed at HOMVNCVLVM, the tiny Roman Colonia in the North of England, of which I am the governor. As well as focusing on astronomy, and developing a new interest in Black Powder firearms and shooting. Hello again! I wonder how many of the old bunch are still here?

Crispina Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Well I am still mostly a lurker rather than a poster - but I remember you! Didn't you have a connection to Hadrian's wall i.e. employment as a guide?? Welcome back, look forward to your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted April 24 Author Report Share Posted April 24 Hi Crispina! My link to Hadrian's Wall (apart from, until 7 years ago, livig 60 miles south of it) was a series of models I made of Hadrian's wall and some of its buildings, which at the time attracted the attention of some of the museums along the course of the Wall.

Crispina Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Oh, guess I remembered wrong. I thought you led tourists on tours of the wall. Do you have photos of your models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidoLaMoto Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Welcome back, Neil. I can't remember you because I've only been amember here for a short time. I'm looking forward to what will probably be interesting contributions from you. That's quite an eclectic little curriculum (would that make it a curriculum-ulum?) vitae you've outlined. (Have you considered seeking counseling?) I see we share an Interest in 2-wheeling. My screen name is a play on words in Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
