Hi
I've finally got as far as registering after about 8 years of browsing the site and at least 25 years after I first started reading KK's books! Might even get round to commenting on things in another year or so... ;)
Welcome!
Welcome AilsaR

Glad you could join us
@AilsaR
Welcome aboard.
Good to welcome a newcomer. No reason I can think of to wait an other year for commenting. There is no time like the present. Join in.

Yes, do add your tuppence-worth and join in the fun. (Not sure what the US equivalent for that phrase is but hopefully you get the gist.).
Do the English still use tuppence? That word reminds me of the song from Mary Poppins. LOL; Feed the birds for tuppence a bag. I always wanted to be the one feeding the birds.

We'd say "your two cents' worth." :D

Oh yes, tuppence is still a word in use in the UK - although I don't think I've seen anything only costing 2p for a long while!
Hello AilsaR,
I don't get to post here very often but it's a great place to be.
Do I gather you are in the UK?
Hello Demercia
Yes, I'm in the UK. Made it tricky to get copies of the books when I started reading them in the 90s - no Amazon then, and at least 4 weeks wait when ordering via the local bookshop unless I wanted to trek into London...
I've been a lurker off and on for some time, and it's always looked like a good place.

As you may have noticed KK herself mostly joins for chat every Sunday evening at 7pm EST which is midnight UK time. However very kindly once a month that is moved forward a couple of hours to make it possible for us this side of the pond to join in. This month it is on Sunday 11th - 10pm our time. Do come along and join in - coherent conversation not guaranteed, but fun and the kindness that marks out this site is.
Now if only we could find that portal...
Welcome, AilsaR!
