Well, I admit that I've been sulking as I was quite unhappy at the "score" "The Archducklings" achieved. I still am; but a few readers were both appreciative and enthusiastic.
One of those suggested that I return to Sam's Year, Part II, which I had abandoned.
So, I've decided to attempt that. I've re-written chapter 1, and will repost it later today. Chapter 2 will be posted within a week.
