    I just wanted to say that I am overwhelmed at the number of new members joining us. I've only been here a short time compared to most but it has been rich with friendship and sharing and lots of good laughs.

    The more the merrier!!

    Thank you for joining us! Cheers :sign0016:

      Thank you so much, CanadianLori. I hope we don’t disgrace ourselves as we stumble around tripping over the furniture here.:)

        Agreed!

        We'd never wish to see any fellow forum go, however we welcome all of our new friends with open arms.

        @Pansyface don't worry about tripping over the furniture, you should see what I am like after a few ciders :heehee: Seriously though, it will take you a while to find your way around, but we don't stand on ceremony here - if you need help to find something, need a thread moved etc, just ask one of the admin team.

        For everyone joining us, I am delighted to work with @wiseowl @shiney @Loofah & @JWK as your Admin Team - rest assured we are here to help.

                That's kind of you @CanadianLori and @Fat Controller - Hopefully, we can all get used to the new format, fumble around a bit, and maybe even be slightly helpful!
                I just hope I can successfully change my username too. :)

                    It change does seem to have taken effect - hopefully by your next log on, you will see it on your side:

                    Hello again @CanadianLori I am still, like others whose names I recognise from GW, finding my way around GC.
                    Yesterday was a very traumatic day in as much as many virtual friends were worried they may lose their contacts as we were given such short notice of the forum's closure. Today seems less daunting now as many have moved across to GC and I'm looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones here. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind, just proving that gardeners are really lovely people.
