I would have forgotten about if S.O.L (an early frugality stalwart) had not mentioned the opening date on a rare visit recently. Hopefully she will return in all her glory soon.
By chance, today, I was thinking about what marks this forum apart from the usual forums that you find online. Often they contain great information but no real sparkle or attractiveness.
I think it is some form of magic that has brought together people with a generally similar sense of humour, plus a strong interest in foraging, preserving growing and all of that good stuff.
Loud applause for Toffeeapple and for the constant core of regular poster and for the blokes who do post here regularly (you know who you are!). Men come and go, while most ladies tend to stay longer. So an especial thanks to the guys (well, I would say that, wouldn't I 
).
But seriously, thank you all and sundry for making this forum a truly enjoyable place to visit.
And may I just say to casual visitors - it is not a clique. Sure, many of us have grown accustomed to regulars over the past year. But all of us welcome newcomers. Please do not be shy about joining in and posting your thoughts. Every forum needs and values new contributions.
Yaaaaaaay!

Well said Danny and congratulations and Happy Birthday to all of us Forumites old and new. I know I am not alone when I say that I value the friendships I have made here. Here's to the future.

Well said everyone! I don't know what I'd do all day if it wasn't for all the dear friends I've made here. Here's to the next year. Happy birthday everyone!
