I don't think Rhoda will be making a big comeback - she's had her day. But I do like to keep an eye on you all particularly as we got locked out of TAPS for no good reason. I'm sure this site will work well for everyone when they get used to it. It has some great and useful blogs on it too - Kate Bradbury's (wildlife in the garden etc.) and JAS's always very readable thoughts in particular.
Sad to see the Beeb boards go - happy days and heuchera threads.
Via another Beeb Refugee (the ever helpful Geoff 'cody'), I have just read your blog about the loss of the Beeb Messageboards, and how they have helped you through some tough times. Very interesting read. I love your garden! I hope you're feeling well.
You're unkind, Violet - I shall be wondering all day, now!
I do have good reasons for a measure of anonymity (sp). So I'll let it be for the time being, if that's ok.
I have regularly read the beeb boards, and am familiar with many of the contributors, albeit at a bit of a distance.
btw I am finding my way around this board, and the more I look at it, the more I like it. How refreshing to have moderators who seem to care, and are responsive. Perhaps, with hindsight, we'll all come to think that the beeb has done us all a big favour by closing down their own message boards. Well - there has to be a positive side to things.
What is it they say? "As one door closes another one opens". So perhaps we need to see this as an opportunity rather than a disaster.
Hello everyone. Some of you know me as John Moodie on the BBC gardening message board. I use powwow every place else so I decided to do so here. I guess I'll just creep around a bit first.lol
Hello Janerowena. I've been registered here for ages too but the forum is a fairly new option I think. It certainly wasn't there last time I checked the blogs but that was a few months ago...........
Looks like the Beeb has done us a favour as these boards have so many good features and old friends too.
Hello Powwow John too. Glad you made it. Have you thawed yet or are there still snowfalls expected?

Hi Jo,
All feels very busy at the moment, with this one, potting shed, and the last of the Beeb!

Yes, almost too much for my poor old brain to take in! Must get my head around an avatar/photo thing, but dont expect it too soon. J.
It was a big jump but I've made it to
