Still no Poppy ?

A big 'thank you' to everyone here - &, as promised, I've just passed on all the kind comments to poppy since I last updated her.

To those that don't know, I've had the privilege of meeting her many times now, &, if anything, she's even nicer in person. We've become great friends, & share a passion about gardening amongst other things, so when we meet we only occasionally 'mutter' about Scope! In between we keep in touch by phone/email….I'm rubbish with texts.

However, you have all shown here that this is what Scope is about; it's members matter, & you have all just shown how supportive this community truly can be to someone that really does matter.

As poppy posts so much as she has great benefit's knowledge, she also comes in for the most adverse comments from some members, which you might not have seen, when all she wants to do is help, which you've all however seen.

Only having had a comparitively tiny fraction of such adverse comments myself, I can only say how much they can hurt; I honestly don't know how she copes. But you lovely people have truly shown how much she has been missed by you all; it really does mean a lot to her (& me 😊).
