Hi @patjewell,

It's wonderful to hear from you again and know that you still follow me after all these years! Apologies for the delayed response, but as I mentioned to the @the-gorilla, I first needed to build up my RC Status due to my long absence and low SP.

Those Steemit conferences were truly memorable, and it's great to reconnect with someone who attended. South Africans have a special bond, and I'm glad to see it still holds strong here on Steemit.

If only we hadn't left! But it's never too late to re-engage and bring back that sense of community and camaraderie. I'm looking forward to catching up and contributing to this amazing platform once again.

Thank you for the warm welcome back!
