I probably speak for a number of the members here Luke, when we all wish the best for you in the future. I'm happy that you were able to keep at least part of your cherished collection which will give you something to build on. Please keep in touch with us right here!
We all know you will be Luke and I'm so glad to hear you are keeping a few. The whole of the forum will look forward to the day you return. In the meantime, it will be a poorer place without your enthusiasm and cheerful nature. Good luck for August 2nd and the future. D
Thanks to both of you. I might send a list and pics of the ones I kept as a ‘goodbye for now’ post lol The rest are going to the home of a customer who has space to accommodate them until I find my way again. Very kind of him to offer, and I will put my trust and faith in him that he’ll take good care of them until the time comes.
“Good bye post” makes me think of a bugle call — tho I know what you mean in this context — yes what a great idea to list your chosen clan of maples (if nothing else , it’s a good inventory that’ll be stored here for now) Best wishes and safe journey Chime in again soon!
