Hello, good evening and welcome

Good to know this site is still up and running! It was a great learning source for me and after recently feeling the itch to write again I'd like to re-introduce myself, as an opportunity, to the forum. After a quick scan I recognise a few names, perhaps one or two of you remember me. Unfortunately I can't dive straight in as I have no material, lets hope that I can rectify that terrible shortfall in creativity here. Meanwhile I'd like to wish you all a very delightful 2014 : )

I remember you, Dave, although I don't remember you being Dave. It's nice to think that this place survives as a place of sanctuary for anyone who requires it. Good to see you back!

Cheers

Thanks, Dave. Is Camus still around? I've just noticed KJ is.

He is. Not as much as I'd like, but he is still around. As is Geoff (twoleftfeet). Can't think of any more old-timers offhand.

I remember you... just.

You've got a fantastic poem in the Experienced Feature section - View from Cutacre Tip. I've gone backwards and fowards to look at that one over the years. Welcome back.

Thanks, Oskar.

I moved to west Australia 3 years ago, from north west England where that poem is set.
It'll be interesting to see, to me at least, the influence this new landscape might have.
