Dear Bernard, Hopefully you’ll remember through the mists of time I contacted you last year asking your views and knowledge of my home County, the beautiful Dorset. You kindly wrote a lovely reply saying how much you loved the place and would visit Knowlton Church in the next life, as you believed Dorset was your ideal Heaven. It was wonderful to have a Dorset archer to read about and I can’t wait till you have written the book on Agincourt. What I wanted to say was how great it would be to have Thomas of Hookton amongst the archers pouring the metal hail of death on the French nobility. I can hear you and others say that would be impossible because of the time between Heretic and Agincourt but let’s not forget one very important thing.Thomas drank from the Holy Grail and “he who drinks from the grail shall recieve eternal life”. It took a long time to become skilled with the Longbow,so after all that time I think Thomas would be reasonably handy don’t you?Maybe that was the reason so many French met their end at Agincourt. Best wishes from Heaven, David A Wimborne, Minster, Dorset
