Forum matters . . .

The Caravan Channel forum has been suffering a bit of late, mainly because it's administrator, the redoubtable Cazanne, has been in hospital. Although she's a tough lady who has battled with ill health for a long time, with a combination of enthusiasm for life and sometimes raucous good humour (laughter heard over two campsites away in Brean last spring), she's really been knocked back by an illness that the medics don't seem to have been able to identify.

However, the good news is that they have now started to make some progress, and the plan is for her to be back home before Christmas, and back in the driving seat of the forum. She's just got some treatment to go through, probably over two or three days, and then she should be out!

It has been interesting and instructive to see how the forum has been while she's been away - it really is rather subdued, although there have been some amusing moments. But Caz's absence really does prove how valuable her work with it has been; what with the pressures and time consumption involved in making the programmes, I don't have time to do more than simply manage it, and Caz's excellent mods, Trooper and Aidan, like to refer to her when they're aren't too sure about what to do.

But all told, I think it will soon come back to a more lively state once herself is back in charge - the people who post without thought will be nursed back, instead of being bludgeoned, and there'll be a constant flow of more entertaining topics!
