Hi guys,

It's been a rough couple of months so I haven't been on LPF for a while.

Firstly, in my last post I said that my mum had a bad fall and was taken to hospital.
She ended up breaking her hip and needed a hip replacement which meant she was in hospital for two weeks.
This also meant that my boys and I had to do some renovations to her house so that she has easier access to get around now.

She's doing well but it's a slow process to getting full mobility back.

Also, a few weeks ago, we had a tragic death in the family.
My eleven year old nephew died while holidaying with his parents in Greece.
This has been a very traumatic time for the family as you can imagine.

Hence I've been away from LPF and I see there's lots for me to catch up on.
Sorry if I haven't replied to any posts etc.
I'll try and catch up with everyone's thread soon.

Regards
RB

Thank you so much everyone, this is why LPF is so special and so close to my heart - it's the people who make it up, you're all 'tops in my book'.
Each of your replies are so special to me, thank you !

Hap, I see you're a moderator now, well done.
You, Ped and the other mods are doing a fine job here, cheers.

Jeff (Bowtie) I'm hoping to start taking new photos again asap, will try some new landscapes and maybe wildlife.

ElectricPlasma, RedCowboy, Lifetime17 (Rich), Pman (Peter) it's good to be back, I've ordered some new modules for my 510 vape bodies so hopefully they'll arrive safely and I can get some new pics.

GSS (Peter), Lildutchboy7, CoherentRays (Ed), thanks guys it's good to be back.

Lots to catch up on, I look forward to reading through all that I've missed.

I see Eitan's in Disneyland, LOL, hard times huh ..... :shhh:

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Andrew. There never is an adequate thing to say to someone who has the grief of this kind of loss. You are in my thoughts. Welcome back.

Paul, thank you so much for your kind thoughts, it's nice to be back.
Although it's very difficult to take your mind off something like the sudden loss of a young nephew, we all know that life must go on and that we have hope.
It's a stark reminder that each of us need to cherish the time we share with our loved ones and with dear friends near and far, even if it's only online.

You wouldn't believe it Rich but the first post I read when I came back was Jordan's post on this announcement so I went ahead and placed a big order with him right away.
I just got notification that the package will be delivered early next week.
So, I'll post some new pics as soon as I can.
