...Annabel herself: GC as a collective entity. We've all got different things to offer, I think, and that's what makes this forum such a great place. I've been here eight years now, and if I'd tried to keep a list of all the posts and posters who've inspired me, influenced me, challenged me to think, given great advice, made me see something from a different angle, posted amazing, heart-warming stories from their own lives and the girls they love, been amusing, entertaining.... etc, etc. - it'd be a pretty long list. Sometimes you need one type of post, sometimes you need another, and it's all here. Here's to Annabel - *raises glass*.
