Retracing my steps... how many active UK Steemians now?
I've been on a bit of a Steem break since my father died earlier this month.
Some much to do.
Sorting out paperwork. Sorting out his house. Sorting out my emotions.
The death of my father, as my last remaining parent, has made me think long and hard. About many things.
Particularly about personal connections.
With family. With friends. With everyone I know.
It has also made me think again about connections on Steem.
So this seems like a good time to take a rain check on the Steem population here in the UK.
Has it shrunk, has it grown. Who's gone. Who's new.
Below is the list of active UK steemians from the last 'census' back in December.
Please do check in in the comments to let me know you are still about. Or if you not on this list and would like to be added.

I'm around in Scotland, not terribly 'active' though :)
So sorry to hear about your loss my friend. Hugs and the very best wishes are sent to you and yours from me and mine.
I absolutely understand the inner reflection you are experiencing, I sincerely believe this is a way of anchoring ourselves back in to some semblance of normality after a traumatic and life changing event. It's almost as if the pragmatic part withing takes us away from such raw emotions.
I hope the good days are becoming more frequent again, although we are both wise enough to know that the journey is filled with peaks and troughs. Sending you the very best my friend.
Obviously I am still around, I am sure you noticed by now although I am just back after ongoing health problems and look forward to connecting with more of the UK community among us.
Take great care my friend!

Did you get struck by lightening or flooded out? I'm kind of busy but trying my best to keep up - you need some !COFFEEA 15
Very sorry to hear about the passing of your father.
I am a wannabe UK Steemian. Been too long since my last twisted thistle.

So very sorry to hear about your father, my thoughts are with you.
If still around but haven’t been particularly active. I’ve not fallen out of love with Steemit but have been trying to fall back in love with old hobbies and interests in the hope of coming up with decent content.
