Goodbye!

by Ruth Barker, 7 Sep 2011

Hello,

It does feel quite strange to be doing this for the last time. Yesterday I added my last Reflections article (it’s a good one, too – by Mark Chalmers from Sustrans) and today it’s time for the last post, as it were.

What to say? Well Goodbye I guess! I am quite sad though as I’ve really enjoyed my time on the site and I think I’ve worked hard to try and make PAR+RS as relevant, honest, and engaging as possible. I’ve been very lucky to have worked with so many brilliant contributors to do that though: each and every person who submits an article, or sends us information for our listings, or keeps a blog, becomes part of an amorphous PAR+RS community. It’s you guys who have really made the site, not me. And if PAR+RS is successful – as I think it certainly is – then it’s you who should get the credit for that success. So well done all, and thankyou. You’ve made my job a pleasure, and I’ve learned a lot from you!

I still have some tidying up to do around the site, but I’ll clock off for the last time at 5pm today. The email address will stay the same and will be inherited by the new Producer. So keep making PAR+RS great by sending in your work, your ideas, and your comments. I’m looking forward to being a reader rather than a writer, so I’ll certainly be using the site to find out what you’re all up to.

OK, well that’s it from me I guess. Take care everyone – it’s been a blast.

Au revoir, (couldn’t quite do the Goodbye thing after all)

XRuth.
