'Tis true me hearties, it's time for me to hang up me parrot, toss aside me compass and pass on me fake hook (as I still have hands).
It's been a real privilege working for you all over the last six years I have to say. I've always loved communities and what they can do for each other and achieve together, that's why I joined TSR in the first place. Yet TSR is the most unique and wonderful community of them all. You do so much good for each other. I believe above all things in equality and I see that everyday on here which makes the world feel like a better place.
Thank you to everyone who made me feel so welcome from day one. It's been fun
I leave you in the very capable hands of the Community Team, Support Team and the rest of the TSR crew.
I'm off to set up a garden design studio and to focus on nature writing (I can be found at www.jackwallington.com and on www.twitter.com/jackwallington).
Peace out - and remember that anything is possible if you work hard for it together.
Captain Jack

no wayyyy, even tho ur constant emails were so annoying about me not being active anymore, im actually gonna miss u, oh and btw if u dont mind, i might actually use ur username and that profile pic
But seriously TSR will not be the same without u, not saying the other CA's, Support teams are useless, but u were still a great helper and poster on this
U have helped alot of ppl on here
Good luck with ur gardening business and writing and always remember u will be missed and i do hope u end up coming back xxxx -

Thanks for the white board eraser, the stress ball, the seeds, the pencil case, and the mug. Still waiting on that bottle of gin though.

And now for the question.
If you could be any type of sugar, which type would you be and why? Give a reference to orchards in your answer. You will be marked on your spelling, punctuation and grammar [9 marks] -

Stop lieinggg
This can't be true
I'm going to miss the interaction you had with us
At least we have a very well knitted community to fall back on but there will always be something missing
Congratulations on your blog winning the garden blog of the year award!I had no idea this blog existed (time for some reading haha) Always loved nature and gardens (mama introduced gardeners world a long time ago haha #NigelAndNellybeToCute)
Wish you all the best to your future Captain JackAnd you will always be welcome here...maybe

Can I please second this a gazillion times

I would be Demerara sugar because it's fantastic for making caramel and it would work perfectly for the apples and pearsin the orchard I'm introducing to my allotment in 2018 (true fact!)
No one's getting Oi! Chantelle though. She's mine.

Do you like my garden design?
Yes I am still in touch with J. Did you know he was my boss when we both worked at Cancer Research UK about 14 years ago? I remember him saying he was leaving and then asking what I thought of the new TSR logo.
I looove your garden design. Is that real?!
