Welcome to the Forum Archaeoastronomer.
I have found the members to be very helpful and friendly, and I'm sure you'll find that also.
I like that link about the New Forest Ponies. I just wish that visitors coming here would read something like that. A lot of them think it is a petting zoo and will stop to give them food and pet them. Although owned by Commoners, they are still wild ponies and can be unpredictable. Plus, overfeeding, especially the wrong kinds of food, can give them serious health issues. It gets me so mad when I see this 😠
As for writing fiction...🤔 The Forest inspires many things in me, but I don't think a best-seller is one of them 🤭
Mill Hill looks like an idyllic setting.
Enjoy the forum.
