Lovely to hear from you. and greetings - how are both of you and the little bun? I can hardly wait for conference - sounds great. I am struggling with refereeing (prelim) a short article arguing for a complete change of DB manorial name Greteham (the one with the quarry) to River (Treve). Since it was submitted sans maps it has been a difficult process but I think the argument (although badly put) is convincing. However do you know of any other such dramatic name changes that could be used for comparison? love to all.
