I said to them that it was a shame that so many interesting documents should just be scrapped. Their reply was - sorry but we are a charity! What I did like though, so they are not completely against new technology, was that they have an 'on-line e-mail type' of chat line where you could 'speak' interactively with someone. --- "Hi, I'm Katie, how can I help you?" sort of thing. Might be useful if you have any queries? ;) Just contacted the NT and they tell me that they don’t archive their Magazines or any articles from them!

It would have been six or seven years ago. I don't know if they keep back copies on their website, but I shall investigate. All the best Bernard.

You are a long way from home. Your home that is, for the Vyne is almost on my doorstep. :) No not really, but is one of my 'local' NT houses. I remember visiting many years ago and very much liked the decor in Jane Austin's bedroom. I have no idea if it is still the same, but the wall colour was described as 'Calamine', a lovely powdery pink, as in the calamine lotion that my Mother used to dab on bee stings and sunburn! I found out that you could buy these NT coloured paints and so I bought a couple of tins. My little organ is finished in this colour and is much commented on. Memories of the Vyne and Jane Austin's bedroom! (naughty me.) :o My word! You are a long way from home. Your home that is, for the Vyne is almost on my doorstep. :)
