    Hey Derek,

    Just wanted to say well done. I've got a brain injury too and my only way of connecting with people is through my photography work. I'm shy about what I've managed to achieve, but sad that I can't talk to others the way they talk to each other too.


    Keep inspiring and doing what you love. I'm so pleased to see there's others like me, I feel less lonely.

    @derekjohn

    You should be really proud of what you’ve created. Art like this brings so much joy to others, and it’s wonderful to see your creativity shining through. Thank you for sharing it.

    Derek, did I imagine it, or were you the one who planted all those vegetables a couple of days ago? If so, you’ve had a very productive and creative week!

    Hi Derek,

    Your plants looked great! We have a thread called Gardening Corner where members share photos of their gardens and vegetables. If you're interested, you might enjoy posting there, it's a nice way to connect with others who enjoy gardening. I’m not particularly green fingered or artistic myself, but I really enjoy seeing what others create and grow. It’s always nice when people share their achievements with everyone. I hope you are having an enjoyable relaxing weekend.
