Thank

just want to say thanks to you all on this forum.

been having a rather rough year with my stupid disability being more stupid than normal and then my beloved co gardener dying last week ( my four legged friend passed away )

During the past year, I have been sick, I lost my friend and had so much crap going on. 

But my refuge was here on this forum. Reading   Not commenting just reading and learning. 

We all love plants, we all love gardens, we all come together to help each other. 

 I get inspired by you and I love reading the posts by new gardeners and the help you give them. 

During this awful time, coming and reading your posts ( like a wee invisible stalker ) has kept me going when things have been really sad and I have been alone, because of my partners job. 

Anyway, keep the flower pictures, the IDs - even know a few of them now- and keep making me happy.

thank you fellow gardeners

    Hi Barefoot. I've been in the quiet corner for a while too but I know what you mean about the forum. You'll always get a laugh or at least a small snort...image

    I'm so sorry about Buster. I'm pretty sure I saw him on here before so I recognised him straight away. It's awful when they go.

    I hope your circumstances improve and you feel a bit more like yourself soon. Chins up! image

    Hi barefoot gardener.  Sorry you've been having a rough time of it.  So sad to hear of the loss of your four legged friend.  Those of us with beloved pets understand that they are truly a part of the family. You must have many happy memories of your constant companion and I hope that these can give you some comfort, you must be missing him terribly.

    I love coming to the forum for advice and inspiration too, not just on gardening matters.... It's a wonderful online community of like minded people who share a love of plants but who also love a good natter.  I think we all like to sit in the quiet corner from time to time (I certainly do).  If you ever want to just chat, please pop into the potting shed...there's "Hello Forkers" for the grown up's...and "Ressurected" for the dollop.  You've probably had a peek before image.  

    Sending you my best wishes, and hope that things are better for you soon.

    I'm sorry you've been having a bad time, especially the loss of Buster.   I hope you can continue to find comfort, solace and distraction here when you need it.  Join in when you're ready.  You are among friends.
