So folks, as per the plan, anyone who joins before we reached 50 members will be given premium membership for free, thereafter there will be a cost. I have given access to all those who have been active less than 100 days and I have begun to churn those who haven't been. Not because we don't want them, but because we want active members, engaging & contributing, even if it's the odd comment or poll. This has meant we are now below 50 members, so there are a few freemium spaces left if you know someone who may need / benefit from this space. ☺️🙏🏼💚 Another huge thank you to all who participate. Love you all 🌿

Do you have a favourite childhood outdoor activity that you can remember doing? It doesn't have to be the intricate carving with your granddad's penknife but equally that's great too! - Mine? being outdoors during the summer holidays, the freshly cut grass smell, my friends chapping on my door to see if I was 'coming oot to play' and then us all racing from the top of the council estate to the bottom, jumping fences and trying not to get caught! Great fun, even funnier if a friend was caught and being given a row 😅 Good times Anyone else want to reminisce 😁 Kids these days just won't have the same memories!
