Hi All. I did previously post an introduction, but those foul hackers pooped inappropriately and spoiled the party.
I just wanted to say that I used to be a member of the auld UKA site, but had a break from creative writing sites for a couple of years. I'm now back under a new handle, trying to reinvent myself. I remember the UKA site and the members therein with great affection and I can see many of the 'old' folks still around. I like to comment as/when the spirit moves me, but I sure ain't able to offer no critique no how.
I got a nib and a nom for my first submission, which fair took me breath away. Thanks to whoever.
Good to be back.

Welcome back!
Yes,i had to roll back the site by 12 hours due to the hack so anything posted on site during those 12 hours was lost. Soz about that.

Thanks Wabdadmin (Richard?) and Andrea (rings on her fingers and bells upon her toes?). Rather quiet round these parts...

Quiet. True. I will try to be more noisy in future. Welcome back. I look forward to reading your stuff.

Hi stevef and sirat. Good to encounter you both again. Antarctica was Ok, but a bit chilly round the extremities. Good to be back in the warm embrace of WABD/UKA.
I've recently retired after working non-stop for 50 years. Obviously mixed feelings, but time to move on to the next phase of my life. Now I’ve got poems to write, stories to invent, wine to ferment (and sample), gardens to landscape, scenes to photograph, rooms to decorate, posh sheds to erect, dogs to walk and grandchildren to chase. I’m still getting up at 6am and I’m unsure what day it is… but I’m looking forward to the next 50 years.

Hands up. T'was me wot nominated your first poem. 😉
I thought it was warm hearted and well written. I love humour even if it seems to be at odds with my oft times depressing numbers!
