I am new to the community and I think the site is a great idea.

[Steph57]

I never knew it existed. Good to share views and treatments with people who know what your talking about. How has it helped other users.

Hullo, Steph and a big welcome to you and that handsome dog of yours. I have lots of help and advice since 2012, and made good friends although things have been a little quiet lately. This time of year can be trying for some, both physically and mentally. Depressing. BUT come on this forum and unload any worries you have. And always time for a laugh and a joke. All the best - pergola x

[pergola1]

Me again, if you haven't done already, have a good look around the forum. Click on everything - a lot to look at. xx

[Steph57]
