This is not intended as a post to get "me too" comments, but I love it when
1 - Right now there are 7 registered members online - that feels like we are in genuine contact. I would guess that by next Christmas, we will look back and laugh when we have 20 or more online at the same time.
2 - The willingness of everybody to offer advice based on experience - that is so valuable.
3 - Fun and laughter - I adore the craic, the wind-ups, and Mutley's lovely/crazy Photoshop images.
I could go on (possibly) but let's leave it at that.
Thank you all so very, very much.
Never knowingly underfed
Old teachers never die, they just lose their class
I'll try that again!
Thank you very much for those lovely compliments, Danuta, TA and BS.
Well, we feel the very same backatya. We feel very lucky indeed to have attracted a really great core of contributors.
Fiona is unable to visit here very often, although she does check out some posts every day. It's just that her ailment means that she has to allocate her limited time to the most productive activities. We do hope that you understand, and we also hope that in time, she will be able to visit more on this forum.

Danast: Come over to the dark side..............we have cookies!*
I love the things Dannys suggested plus....
I love that the photos that Fiona selects (always cheer me up), as do her posts frequently.
One of the other benefits is that I feel connected to rural life in England - a world I grew up in where the veggies were fresh out of the ground and the people were "good spuds" 🙂
The recipe/foodie posts have also inspired me to start learning how to cook - primarily healthy, traditional dishes that I miss from home (all be it mostly vegetarianised - gah).
to all the regulars who now feel like friends.

Life is uncertain ………… eat dessert first!
