NOT THIS ONE! * This is just to say a big and suitably smokin' welcome to our newest members! For some reason, we've had a sudden influx of new poetry bods joining the forum over the past few weeks. I hope I don't forget anyone in my rush to say hello but a Poets On Fire welcome to David Wheatley, Helen Ivory, Carrie Etter, Lumb Bank (Arvon blog) and Loci, our new techie admin. Hope you all post regularly and pay no attention to any side-squabbles. We all love each other here deeply, deeply. Jane -------------------- 'CAMPER VAN BLUES' from Salt.

Supernova Group: Member of Poets On Fire Forum Posts: 353 Member No.: 234 Joined: 21-August 07	You're absolutely right James. Rik: I don't miss The Botanics much - my last 4 years there were spent in senior management and were often a tad stressful. However, I've got a new garden to play with. I'm in a group trying to restore an 18th century walled garden Amisfield. Digging tatties is, in its own way, as satisfying as writing a poem, as someone once said (except you can't go very deep with a pen). -------------------- Colin Will, Webmaster for Poetry Scotland blog: Sunny Dunny's new blog

Good to hear you managed to escape The Management and have found peace and contentment with the new project. I think I'm glad that you've found solace in spudding: my experience of harvesting the crop is a sore back on a shite wage.

Which reminds me - I've been planning to write a poem about my spudding adventures for ages. I think the newsgroups are overdue a spudding poem, yes?

Well, Tom, sorry about the lack of a welcome before this, but that will teach you to be all cloak 'n' dagger about things! You could have been welcomed weeks ago if I had known. Honest.
