Thanks for the kind words, Robert. It was indeed great fun to become part of the forum. Perhaps something of that will be regained in 2017 - we can but try!
When I saw the old post, I thought - 10years, a long time and a lot of water under the bridge, but I shall treat it as if it were now, and take you to task for being too integrated! lol.
Thanks for the good wishes.
As one gets older I think we all appreciate the value of old friends and family and how important it is to live each day. The young (as we once were as well) think they are immortal, but they know they have their lives ahead and so it is an immortaility with a backstop, so to speak.
When one gets older, we come to terms with the realisation there is no backstop any longer and also, if we are lucky in health and prosperity, we can act as if we are immortal, but with the real freedom of no backstop!
When I went out again to my lovely island in the Philippines in 2014, I had no idea of what my future would be, but the freedom of leaving the UK at the age of 62 with no keys of any sort with me - none - was wonderful! Cool or what?
Anyway, enough philosophy, have a good one wherever you may be.
Cheers
Adrian
