Ian! May the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets grace your week there in London!
And may you travel somewhere wonderful this year where you can use your 'intermediate' Spanish.
And may this mark spur you on to continue on at SD helping others learn and allowing your amigos here to enjoy your vast knowledge from your participation and travel.
From all your fun friends here at SD!

I've put a thank you for each of you in this bag.
Please take one each with my compliments to you all. It would be great to meet you all, you are a fantastic bunch of people.
It is always great to get compliments from friends. Thank you for using your valuable time in such creative ways.
In the last 24 hours I have received 41 new badges and now have exactly 5000 badges. I was waiting for that before responding to this great thread..
I can only assume a very kind soul among you has spent hours trawling my old threads and posts and giving me the 5th vote for a badge.
There is a rose for each of the lovely lasses in the bag too.
And a kiss and a hug for everyone. You have "made my day".
Of course a special big thank you for Katy
"Sir Ian" en inglés o bien "don Ian" en español, el título indica un hombre de calidad--Un verdadero caballero, quien ha sido reconocido por sus logros y su valentía.
Le saludo por todo lo que ha hecho aquí, y por lo que significa personalmente para mí.
!Enhorabuena, mi gran amigo!
¡Enhorabuena, Ian! Has hecho muy bien. 5000 es un montón de insignias. ¡Te felicito!
Congratulations in the beautiful fruits of your efforts in the learning of this language Sir Ian!
You are awesome!!
¡Felicitaciones a alguien que es muy especial!
Thanks so much for your contributions, Sir Ian. Like no one else on this site, you have the extraordinary ability to teach us different meanings of words for Word of the Day.
The biggest proof that I admire you and your contributions is today. I just wrapped up an afternoon of work contributing to your xword game. Please consider my contribution to that game today to also be my graphic project to congratulate you because I'm worn out and I have no more time to do graphics today.
Gracias por hacerme sentir como una princesa.

You are my mod buddy and my friend. Thank you. 
Kudos! ¡Felicitaciones!, dear friend.
Please don't take them to Spain, too much to lug around
Well done! We all benefit from your humour, humanity and knowledge. I hope you enjoy the summer in England or elsewhere - I am sure by autumn we will be offering congratulations on more achievements.

By the way, I will add some pictures after I return home from my holiday in Italy ...as I cannot add them on my phone!
Por cierto, añadiré algunas fotos después de volver de mis vacaciones en Italia, porque no puedo añadírlas en mi móvil.
¡Bien Hecho!
