Farewell 2019 by gilbertwood

Farewell 2019

it's been a tough decision but I must say farewell to 2019 and this amazing world of 365. I have completed 6 years now and can't begin to explain the joy, happiness, photographic skills, eye-opening experiences and virtual friendships gained from here. However life takes another turn now and I must move away from here with a tear in my eye, but with beautiful memories nothing will ever replace. You got me through a crisis when I started in 2014, then another in 2017 for which I am forever grateful. I will still keep an eye on your photography and comment whenever possible. And hopefully I will still post occasionally specially when the brolly-girls get together, I find a beautiful bird or watch a sunrise or sunset. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Sam
WOW!!

Bloody hell Denise. My new years resoIution was to launch a concerted effort to post more regularly on 365. Now . . . . . . . ?
I bet you don't stay away for long.
January 2nd, 2020  
@terryliv Bloody hell too!! All the old originals have left, including you, and I've struggled to post daily so thought I needed a break :) Now you and Sam @gigiflower make a re-appearance!!! I know I won't disappear altogether, but will only post if I have something new and/or exciting. I look forward to seeing more posts from you :)
@taffy Thanks Taffy - yes the door will definitely stay ajar :)
@farmreporter Thanks Wendy - when the brolly girls get together (which is getting harder all the time) we will take photos and i will post them :)

@jamibann Thanks Issi for your great friendship on here - I'm missing the 365 community but in need of a break at the same time!!! I will pop in at times and I try to have a quick look at everyone's photos as often as I can. I do love your adventures in Scotland :)
