Welcome home bud

[phil the shed]

thanks for such a cheery welcome all... and still so many familiar names.. i was a little disulutioned with the allotment to be fair.. i kept it going just had a little harvest or two but ive set my sights on rescuing it over the next couple of months.. ive got an asparagus bed in there somewhere.

[Bigmallly]

Glad to hear you've got the passion back.

[Nicos]

Asparagus bed???..oh ...my heart yearns for the one I left behind.

Sometimes we all need a bit of time out to step back, reassess the surroundings, appreciate what we have , and then enjoy!

The French have a saying of to 'profit' from a situation.
It means to make the most of/benefit from ( but not financially)

Sounds like you are going through that very experience!
Good on ya!
