Thanks John (and congrats on your win) !

Luckily Mr. Devine pointed this thread out to me because I had totally missed it and was beginning to get worried that you had gone MIA and the reasons for it

I guess being cooped up in this quarantine hotel in Shanghai is beginning to play havoc with either my eyesight or my sanity (in fact it seems like I was working off cached versions of both the forum and the #100 competition). One week down one to go

My apologies for any confusion caused by starting a new thread (now deleted) !

Not MIA, but BIA - B for Bored ;-)
Everyone's sanity is being tested, lockdown here just at the time of peak autumn colour but that's just me being selfish :-0

Incredible work as always on here, and congrats to the winners.

Took a short trip to the mountains in October. Always nice to get a change in scenery.

Sorry ladies and gents, having just arrived back home in Shanghai after being forbidden from returning for 9 months (and having to go through 2 weeks quarantine in a hotel room) we've had a ton of work to do in the home (mould, mountains of dust etc.) and renewing expired or about to expire residence permits and driving licences. So very little time for processing photos.

I didn't even realise we had entered December until just now

I therefore forgot to put in an entry ... but hopefully my votes will still count
