Hi Carmen,
Welcome. Have you read the book? Great stuff. Blessings
Hi, Alex,
Yes, I have, as I was blessed to read and study the Cloud book in Middle English and also translate it into Modern English. I also wrote that article to which you so kindly link, and I really appreciate your posting it on your blog! Take care!
Blessings and peace,
