@Laurelle3
I remember @Tom-and-Lisa0, and @Donald28 with his whole shed fully of arcade game machines for his guests to use, and @Ed-and-Hugh0 and many more!
For almost 6 months in 2015 all I did was watch here on the CC. I read thread after thread but did not feel confident to make a comment. But I took on board all I was reading and how I could use it to further my hosting.
Here is one of my first posts on the CC on 2nd January 2016.......

A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then, I have met a lot of wonderful people and the CC has been a big part of my Life.
Even had @Lizzie take time out of her busy schedule and come half the way across the country and spend a night with us.......

And it is still ongoing, every day I learn something and hopefully get to pass on a bit of what I have learned.
See you in a couple weeks Laurelle.....looking forward to it.
Cheers.......Rob
