For the last week or ten days, someone has been searching - nearly every day - for “andrew shiel fcj”, and landing on this page on dukestreet.org. They look at one or two pages, and then go away again. I can’t imagine that it’s a series of different people - it’s too concentrated in time for that. It’s possible, I suppose, that it’s someone who isn’t computer-literate enough to know how to use bookmarks, or to memorise the URL - but if they have access to a computer every day, that seems odd in and of itself. I cannot work out who they might be, nor why they might be repeatedly searching for me, yet not making any contact when they find the page.
