Well what can we say…WHAT A YEAR!!!

I can imagine so many of us here will be happy to see the back of this year!

It certainly has been a year of ups and downs - and struggles but also rewards.

We have had to deal with our own lives as well as the impact of restrictions, ever changing times and all the highs and lows going along with those.

The one constant for many of us has been right here on the forums - so in keeping with our usual support of each other - no matter whether you celebrate the end of the year and look forward to bringing in a brand new year or not -

join us all here today/tonight to say goodbye to 2024

and welcome in the new year 2025 with (hopefully) some fun, laughs, stories, conversation, music, photos (whatever you feel like contributing.

I will start - So often we get stuck on all the negative things so in the spirit of renewal and growth – what is a positive you can take from this year and move forward into the new year with?

For me it is the amazing friendships and support I have right here on the forums
