Question

I have hardly ever posted a congratulations thread before so this may come as a surprise for Margherite, the “Lady on the beach”.

We usually only know someone on SD by what they write and how they participate here.

There are some though that seem to shine and sparkle across cyberspace and Margherite is one of those.

When I see those feet with flowers around the ankles I have to have a look at what she has written.

Very soon Margherite will reach the magic milestone of 50K and join an exclusive club.

I am sure everyone will want to make her very welcome and congratulate her on her achievement.

I hope she slides on our beach and enchants it for a long time yet.

Bien hecho amiga

Cheers

This is a very special thank you to all of you who have given me your valuable time and your kind words of encouragement. I began this fantastic journey about a year and a half ago when I made up my mind to learn to speak Spanish. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm ready to tackle the job. Once again my friends, thank you for making this weekend very special. This is a very happy day for me, and to Ian, thank you so much. You're the best.
