[MR] Hello to all from William of Blackcastle (Christopher Buck)

[Adeliza of Bristol]

Most warm and gentle greetings,

What a rare and absolute delight to hear from on of our long quiet group founders! I will be sending your mesage to our group list so those still living in Hawkwood may reach you! Duncan MacGregor is the only group founding member we know of who remained at home, and he and his Lady wife became our founding Baronage when we were elevated to Baronial status just roughly five years ago.

Though I have no idea where you may be now, it would fill our hearts with joy to have you home for a visit. Hawkwood will celebrate her Baronial Birthday at the end of April, and a visit from a long missed creater would be most appropriate. It would be our honor to have you and your lady join us if it is possible!

Thank you so much for posting!

In your service with smiles,
Baroness Adeliza of Bristol
