Hi guys n gals
You may notice I am going to be absent from the forum for the next few weeks. I just wanted to let you know I am taking a little step back and a break for a while from the forum.
My Dad died unexpectedly 4 weeks ago and it was his funeral last week. I am struggling at the moment and I have a coping mechanism of using things as a distraction to block things out, I did this with the funeral arrangements and I noticed the other night I was starting to do this with the forum, this is not healthy for me as I need to work through my grief and not deflect it by blocking it out - otherwise it is not going to be good for me, so I have made this difficult decision to take some time off.
I love the forum, it is such a huge part of my life and I am so lucky to be able to belong to such a wonderful place so this has been a difficult decision to make... I live and breath this place so it is hard to step back, I will honestly miss it and all of you even for the weeks I am intending to be away. When I return am expecting to have to go through around 25 pages of photos to
over! 
Please continue to help make our community the friendly place that the forum has been rebuilt into, I will need this place more than every when I return. Be your fantastic, friendly, helpful, welcoming selves and continue to be proud of our little corner of the internet.
I'll see you again soon....
