Having had a busy couple of years I've not looked in here much lately
but have now moved house to one with an even bigger garden which
seem to contain every variety of shrub that will grow! I thought I'd
pop in to see what's happening.

Three days now and nothing?

What's gone wrong it used to be so busy?

The chatterati are long gone, composted, or buried in twitter or FB.

Only some of the old urg hands-on diggers and delvers are left, mostly
older and feebler so (speaking for me) I have to spend more time doing
it and have less energy and time to talk about it. URG old-timers
left over from your day include me, Nick, Chris and Charlie.

We don't see many newbies on urg. They're probably all staring at
their mobile phone looking for an app that can kill slugs."Alexa, can
you tell me if it's still raining".

Janet (still on Arran).

HA! No newbies! Wonder why.
I remember very politely asking for help here and I remember being ignored.
Chris Hogg on the DIY group helped me out. Respects to Chris and thank you.
