I am a  retired lady in the West Midlands.  - starting again under a different username - so many of my friends of old will not recognise me.  I now accept all friends (old and new) 
When I started playing this game originally we had virtually no help. It was a case of picking up as we went along. So much help and freebie bonuses this time around.
So here we go again.
Happy Howrsing everyone.
