I’m now back – and seriously recovering from shock at these posts during August!<br /><br />@ Crystal – sorry .. and I didn’t even pick up August’s blog comments that went into moderation: I’d fixed up to July … but 24 now! I’m here .. finally.<br /><br />@ Lisa – I know many people take time off during the Summer – it’s just I’m usually around blogging. It’d be such fun to visit you and to hear more about France and your life down in Florida … I’d like to meet many others too … <br /><br />@ Sharon – I’m back … but I too enjoy reading about your visit up here to Eastbourne … all the way from sunny USA. It was great.<br /><br />@ Milo – I just make sure I do a few things – keeps me occupied and stimulated. Sorry about the food scenario – lunchtime here now too … <br /><br />@ Munir – all well here, thank you and good to see you … <br /><br />@ Diana – you only just missed my starting up again … I’m glad the Ideal Bookshelf seems a good idea to you … I must relook at it. I’m back now … it was good to have a break.<br /><br />Thanks everyone … so good to see you – can’t believe Blogger sent you all off to Comment Moderation! Cheers Hilary<br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-57517216201844034582015-09-14T13:36:22.385+01:002015-09-14T13:36:22.385+01:00Hi everyone ... 24 comments in Comment Moderation ...Hi everyone ... 24 comments in Comment Moderation - why does Blogger do that ... ????<br /><br />I did check at the beginning of August ... and then you all rocked in - gosh talk about making my life happy today! can't quite believe it ... <br /><br />@ Melissa – well I’ve sort of done somethings … but it’s been fun and so pleased to see you here.<br /><br />@ Joylene – 2 weeks is definitely not long enough for family and friends. Yes – please come back and make Eastbourne a place to visit!<br /><br />@ Jenn – thanks so much for being here .. yes lots of posts will happen.<br /><br />@ Theresa – it was lovely meeting Sharon and her grandfather – a special day.<br /><br />@ Guilie – I needed the break .. though wish I’d done more writing and blogging preparedness!!<br /><br />@ Deborah – I’m walking without pain and can get around so easily: I had a good surgeon. Nope – I’d be delighted to meet up … and I haven’t actually tried running … clambering scaffolding – but not running … so I won’t run for the hills! Enjoy seeing your friend after all this time – it’s amazing how we so easily relate once again.<br /><br />@ Vanessa – thanks so much .. you do so much travelling – that I always get enticed by your ideas and thoughts … and we can share a lunch sometime.<br /><br />@ Beate and Keith – pleasure to tie in with you both … it’s such an amazing life you’ve both got now … definitely a story to write up sometime. You’ll have so much to show Keith … I’d love to see more of Germany – one day!<br /><br />@ GE – so lovely to see you .. and to see you’re back blogging, as well as studying – that’s essential and something you’re apparently so diligent at. I’d love to read more of those sorts of postings … <br /><br />@ Melissa – I hope you’ve got my emails by now … not sure how I pick them up when they don’t show – but I need to work it out.<br /><br />@ Trisha – yes I’ve been very remiss apparently in not posting – still I’m back now. The pub lunch was fun … and meeting Sharon was just brilliant … <br /><br />@ Lee – good to see you – you’ve been away on a long trip too – yet you managed to blog as you went. I don’t think anyone thought I was serious when I said September … still I’m back now! It’s a ‘quiet’ change to the blog face … I have sorted a few things out by being away.<br /><br />@ Hart – yes meeting Sharon was great fun … her grandfather just couldn’t believe our natter! I’d love to meet more bloggers and will do I’m sure in due course.<br /><br />@ Tara – yup the two bloggers – BlogMom and GrandBlogMom for Lenny … so we had emailed and commented quite often. The friendships are wonderful.<br /><br /><br />Cheers ...Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-54421774583421435072015-09-08T15:57:57.963+01:002015-09-08T15:57:57.963+01:00Oh, Hilary, I've looked at the post about My I...Oh, Hilary, I've looked at the post about My Ideal Bookshelf and I've started a list of 'indispensables'.

Enjoy your break and how wonderful that you are walking again. I am meeting up with a friend I haven't seen for about thirty years later this month - she never realised I lived near to someone she sees a couple of times a year until recently. Blogging is similar in that it creates friendships that defy the miles. Maybe one day, you and I will meet eh? That'd be fun I am sure!
