    Softstuff I hope it's all sorted easily. When one is tired and stressed that little straw can be awfully heavy.

    Mar I've heard horror stories about the size of those midges. Any truth to that rumor?

    Mrs L. Enjoy your garden and processing. Nature can be very healing. Best wishes!
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    Mila midges are tiny, you dont really see them - you just feel them. We arent bad here with them, too high up and on the east side. The west gets the big bad midges.

    Lyn I was just about to try to catch up with the goings on I 've missed recently on here due to the laptop issues .
    I will miss seeing you and dear docky on here . I know it's been hurtful and at times brutal recently and like yourself and others I have had many a sleepless night and a sense of loss . I understand you are at your busiest time of the year and may focusing on that and the family help you heal but I will never forget your kindness to a wimpy newbie and I am here because of your gentle encouragement .
    I hope you will return if you feel ready . Take care of you and yours .
    polly
    I will be back later folks I feel a bit Chicken Licken at the moment , where will the next bit of my sky fall?
    It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

    There but for fortune go you and I.
  • I just want to say goodbye to you all and not to cut and run without doing so. As of this afternoon I find I cannot be part of MSE life any longer, my resources are all used up and I have nothing left to give. It really has been such fun over the years so thank you to each and every one of you for sharing and caring and being so lovely. This is my very last post, I'll have to find other ways of filling my days which at present are filled to capacity with harvesting and processing the things we grow. I'm very sad that I've reached this decision but overall I think it will be for the best. I'll miss you and I won't be logging in again, Love always Lyn xxx.

    But you are happy to post on this thread which is continuation of a previous thread, but you are not prepared to do the same for the prepping thread. Sadly you are ultimately the one who is losing out. :(

    best of luck though

    I can't pretend to understand why you're leaving MrsL. I've never been able to get my head round your issues with having a new thread whenever there have always been continuation threads on Old Style.
    I haven't understood why you've had sleepless nights over it or felt bruised and hurt.

    However I totally respect that you feel you need to make this decision and I just hope it will be like the other times you have said you won't be posting again and have returned quickly.

    Look after yourself whatever you decide. :)
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    Wow CT - aren't you confident and cheeky for a "new poster"... maybe we should have another poll, to see who we all think you really are?

    I'm really sorry you feel you need to leave Lyn. Thank you for all your help. I hope that perhaps when the shorter less busy days come round again you'll feel like coming back. Take care, and best wishes xx

    Aah Lynn, I wish you would stay, you always give such common sense support. Hopefully we'll see you soon, love to your family.

    Mar, we have all the midges in the west, although I am presently enjoying the midges free sunshine of the Netherlands.

    Don't beat yourself up softstuff (stupid tablet wAnts to call you foodstuff). You're working too hard and must have got to exhaustion stage. Hope you can get some rest.
