    Hi Beckie,
    I'm still in touch with Rad.

      Nope - no ban. I presume that Val is busy with other things, and we can remain hopeful that she and all the others come back home to us soon.

              can I just say that there are many reason why one can be away from the forum for one day, few days, months etc...it is not as they die (ok that can happen too).

              I for examples do not see it as a duty to post everyday, although there are periods that I do. So, when I see somebody disappearing and reappearing, I am not too shocked.

              I also find it`s seasonal, not much to comment on during the winter for instance.

                  As mentioned earlier, some of the members may not be posting here for one reason or another but they're not necessarily out of touch.

                  As Armandii said, the lovely Jenny still comes to our Open Day each year (she turns up the day before and helps make ll the sandwiches for the GC members :blue thumb:) and Kristen sends best wishes to all of you. :)

                            Maybe some just feel that they've had their say? When I have no comments or helpful things to write, I simply rate threads so that hopefully it will show that I am paying attention :)

                            and maybe they're all gardening instead of sitting on their behind in front of their keyboard .. like me.... :snorky:
