  All signed up to GC with the same username. To delete the wealth of knowledge on these forums is ridiculous.

  This forum could be archived. That would be better. How to do it?

  I tried 5 times to jump through the gardeners corner authentication hoops. I give up!

  
  I fell foul of that for a while but eventually I got in. Just try at different times of the day.

  Tried again with an email address I don't use much. Looks hopeful.

  I'd also like to thank forum members for all the practical house help over the past eight years. Fencing quotes, mattresses, choosing a stove, vacuum, decking options, buying seceteurs, spades, torches, thoughts on where to move to. My house as well as my gardens have been very shaped by kind forum advice.
  

  
  

  Special thanks to @raisingirl for all the professional eco insights and house design tech assessment. Esp for the carbon intensity tools, which I now use most days and really affects the way I live.

  Special thanks to @wild edges  for some serious wildlife expertise. I now have a moth trap thanks to you and will use it sometime soon, I hope.

  Well, not a lot one can say.
  
  I do feel sorry for the folks who will really miss it and hope all the people who have made close friendships find each other elsewhere.
  
  Best wishes to you all,
