   Yes, thank you Bob.   
             I am learning HTML, but progress is slow because unless you pay   
   lots of money to go on courses you have to learn everything by yourself, but   
   yes, I can start on a Cumbric website now. Concerning red haired people,   
   first of all red haired people (and beards) seem only to exist in Ireland   
   and North Britain (Scotland and Northern England), This is very noticeable   
   as you travel around the British Isles. A lot of our non-Saxon history and   
   culture has been suppressed so information is scarce.   
   Hawke, etc.
