    Thank you @Fairygirl that's very kind.
    I'd like to thank you too for your help and advice over the years. I remember many years ago when there were two people in particular who could cause problems on the threads. Although at times I wondered if they were just one and the same. We saw lots of people come and go. I wonder what they're doing now....Kef and Panda and many others. 
    I still have the London Pride you so kindly sent, it's spread very well now. 
    Hope you and your girls are well. Take care.

    @star gaze lily A lot of us seem to be swapping over to Gardeners Corner, so please come with us and hopefully your old friends will be there too.

    @star gaze lily - I'm so sorry. I had no idea you'd lost your husband. 
    I'm also so sorry that my arms simply aren't long enough to reach and give you a big hug. 
    I wish there was something else I could add to that, but it won't really help and I'm sure you've heard it all already. Knowing that people care, and are thinking of you, is the biggest comfort of all though.

    I'll send you lots of love instead.

    @star gaze lily … I echo @Fairygirl’s words … I too had no idea. 😢 🤗 
    I’ve also been on the receiving end of the kindness of strangers … it is the most precious and uplifting thing. ❤️

    I'd forgotten I'd sent you a plant @star gaze lily ! My memory's truly dreadful nowadays. If you want any other plants, I'd be glad to send you some if they suit. The L. Pride does spread very easily - I use it as groundcover everywhere. I even manage to tolerate the pale pink flowers   ;)
    I think KEF went elsewhere, but I don't have her email address. I know she was annoyed when DavidK got sent packing. I don't know about Panda. Sometimes people just leave and that's it.
    There's always the troublemakers, and unfortunately, many people don't see the whole picture, because they aren't posting on here regularly, and when they do - the offensive posts have been removed, but I'm sure they'll get short shrift on that other forum if they try anything.  

    We're all fine - just getting on as well as we can thanks. Look after yourself xxx
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @punkdoc, people moving over to Gardeners Corner are keeping their usernames, so you will recognise a lot of them on there.

    @floralies hopefully you’ve had an email from them by now welcoming you? Then you should be able to logon and get going. 😊

    Thank you @Dovefromabove the kindness on here is very precious. Some very kind people that have  helped so much.
    @Fairygirl I was in contact via email with Kef but we somehow lost touch. I remember David he was such a lovely man and a few years ago stuck up for when a poster was being very unpleasant to me. I always enjoyed Davids thread.
    The London pride was always in my mums garden and when in flower always reminds me of her beautiful garden and I also think of you too now. Thank you that's very kind.  Glad you're all well.
    @Emerion thank you too. I have signed up to GC but I'm finding it harder to find my way round at the moment. I'm sure it will get easier with practice 😉 But at the moment I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind to post much if at all. But hopefully soon.

    Seeing as this forum may wipe any trace of our posts, I've been going through some of the threads I started on here and copy/pasting useful info onto a Word document for future reference. I wouldn't mind finding other threads that I have replied to, to do the same.

    @SherwoodArrow @Perki. I’m also on a tablet, and can’t find my signature either. I’ve had my welcome email and have been able to amend my profile, so I don’t think it’s a case of waiting for access. I’m going to have to try and pry OH’s laptop out of his hands and try on there. He’s had his morning cuppa or several, so it’s not hopeless.

    @Allyblueeyes I get a digital copy of Gardeners World magazine free via my library. Might be worth checking if you can too, depending on where you are.
