    I won't miss 2020 one bit. Just found out this evening that a friend of the family passed away. Myself and brother when we were younger used to watch him helping me father plough the fields in a big green deutz. We thought he was the coolest man we ever saw and wanted to also be like him. Unfortunately he ended up having a few problems later in life but I'll always remember him the way he was. I'm hoping he's up in heaven on the deutz ploughing away and finally at peace with himself.

    On that note 2020 can fck right off.

    Edit, apologies about the negatively of my post there. Just something I had to get out of my system as I'm both sad and a bit of anger as to how things turned out in life for that poor man.

    I wish you all the very best of health and happiness for 2021 and keep up the great posting.

    Please God we all make it through 2021 Covid free and healthy until we get vaccinated. It's been another great year on F&F but I do miss some of the regulars who haven't posted in a long time.

    I dont think 2020 was all that bad. We had time to slow down for a while. Not running around to activities every evening. Delighted to get the kids to school until Christmas uninterrupted. Hopefully 2021 will bring a proper vaccination programme for covid and we will have some sort of normality next new year's eve

    Happy new year all. Hope it’s a good one.

    I actually enjoyed 2020 as was working from home. No commute. Got a huge load of jobs done and had a lot more time to myself.

    2020 had some pretty major tragedies for my family and our extended family. I'm not gonna curse it, it's just a year, shít happens like any other year. We are, I think, blessed with where we live and how easy we all have it relative to others in the world. We have friends, family, freedom, food, shelter, opportunities. No one, no animal, the weather, isn't trying to kill us. /waffle

    Good luck to you all in 2021.

    Happy New Year. Here’s to another year pretending that I like you people. :D

    And finally may any troubles this year - last as long as the usual New Year’s resolutions!

    Glad it's over, but I got to spend a lot of time with my parents that I would not have done otherwise - would have been away working with just a few calls etc.
    I'll probably look back at 2020 in the future and be grateful for the time we've had together, even if at times it was just sitting in the same room watching TV or looking out at the rain.

    In saying that I'll be happy to get going again and back to normality.
