They say that with age comes wisdom, but many of us here on Hive are experts in different areas.
According to the corporate world we have reached our sell-by date, but there is still a lot of life in these old bones yet.
So why can't we then not combine the wisdom of the silver wunder kids and help each other here in the brand new community called the Hive Silver Bloggers?
Many of you may be close to retirement, and we'd also love it if you joined in as you could learn and see that life in fact gets even more exciting as you now have time to do the things you've never had time for.
So I'm sure you've gathered by now that the objective of the Hive Silver Bloggers is to bring together young-at-heart kindred spirits with a love of blogging and photography, keen to share life experiences and store it here on the Hive blockchain for future generations.
We'd also like to learn more about Crypto Currencies and that's where our seasoned Crypto Hodlers come into play, as many of us may know how to write, but have no knowledge about the world of Crypto.
Anyone between the age of 40 and 100 welcome to join.
How cool if one day a great great grandchild wanting to learn a little more about the adventures of great great Gramps or Grandma, can find them here, long after they've gone, as nothing stored on the blockchain will ever get lost.
How often do we search for precious photographs stashed away in the attic and try and recall memories that have faded over time?
Stories are passed on from one generation to another, and by the time it reaches our ears, the tale has had all kinds of tails added with many twists and turns, nothing like the true story in the end!
Although you're welcome to blog on any topic you want to, the following are most suited to this community - Passive Income, Hobbies, Crypto for the uninitiated, Memories and Life in general.
We do encourage our members to continue blogging in specific existing communities relevant to their topic i.e. Natural Medicine, Foodies Bee Hive, Have You Been Here (travel related) etc etc.
We will be hosting rewarding Challenges from time to time, possibly taking you out of your comfort zone at times, but that's how we learn.
Rewards for this post will go back to the community.
IMPORTANT EDIT TO THIS POST
Notice - it's come to my attention that some bloggers thought this was seriously part of our rules, but this is a Tongue in cheek part of my post:
This is NOT a Geriatric Society so no talk of Dentures, Hearing Aids, Spectacles, Pills and the like will be tolerated; member will be muted if found guilty of this offence;)
We are a fun community and as the founder I am already 68 so of course many of the above-mentioned are part of my daily life!
Our proper rules can be found on our community page
I will briefly tell you about my journey and a couple of other talented Silver Bloggers.
@lizelle - Admin
I was a real Crypto Virgin when I joined the blockchain in July 2017, so was quite amazed when Hive came to my rescue during Covid lockdown as our Lily's Cottage BnB had to close down for a while.
I love blogging on food, with a story attached; local travel, natural health, our BnB and life in general. I've not only learned how to turn my Crypto earnings into rands and cents, but have also met many kindred spirits from all over the world!
Hive has become my passion post-retirement, I just love this blogging journey that fills the void left by retirement with new friends and extra income when I need it!
@papilloncharity - Our Moderator
Zac has become a well-respected figure in the Crypto world and his journey started in June 2017.
His photographic stories have become legend and he is also the founder of The Papillon Foundation, a famous charity that does great work with the poor communities in South Africa.
Zac is a real shining light here on Hive, a huge inspiration who gives hope to many.
@ericvancewalton - Author and Poet
Cryptocurrency and the Hive community have been nothing short of a Godsend to me.
Prior to joining the platform in 2016, I spent twenty-three years attempting to break into the walled garden of the traditional publishing world. Not one person would hold the door open for me. In the last five years cryptocurrency and the Hive community have given me the key to open that door for myself.
Since 2016 I’ve launched three self-published very successful books (soon to be four counting my newest book Ephemera) on Hive.
I quit my day job in 2017, began writing full-time and traveling the world.
Hive has given me the most valuable gifts I can imagine -- a worldwide network of good friends and the freedom to make a great living doing what I love.
These two books of Eric's have helped me tremendously, especially during the crazy times we've been living in since last year!
@fionasfavourites
Fiona has been active in the blogosphere since 2014, when she started her own blog Fiona's Favourites, inspired by longstanding school pals.
In 2017 I was invited to join a social blockchain where, through blogging, I might earn crypto currency – just before the bull run ended. I fiddled about a bit, and two years later, I am still there, and post directly to the Hive blockchain using the Exxp WordPress plugin. I am part of a growing community that produces content and where I earn Hive Based Dollars. It’s not just the prospect of earning that keeps us there, it’s also, as is the case in the blogosphere, generally, the community of like-minded individuals one meets and the friendships that develop – in cyberspace – and which flow from the virtual into the real.
Fiona’s Favourites has evolved to the point that it covers a multitude of sins topics, musings and rants, ranging from my original focus – cooking – to life, and my participation in that crypto blogging world.
I look forward each week to Fiona's Friday Files to see what delectable fare she will have on offer for her Village Market Days.

Ages 40-100...Seems I fall within that age bracket...I'll see what people blog about and decide whether I have anything worthy of adding. A good idea for a community. ✅
Great to see you here @galenkp, and I'm sure you'll have something more than just worthy to add here🙂🌻
I'll be around...Maybe I'll even get the hamster in my noggin to run a little faster, get the cogs turning, so I can come up with something to post. :)
@galenkp with all of your experiences in life, you will make a very valuable member methinks.
Thank you for your kind words.
My pleasure Sir 🙂
Like many others, I fit the age requirement, being 71 going on 72.
After being aware of this new community from a reblog by @ericvancewalton who I have been following for years (and that I have met in one of the two SteemFests I have attended), I immediately ubscribed.
Although I am not a Crypto virgin, having bought my first Bitcoins in 2011), I will try to contribute with the little wisdom I have gathered over the year.
As I have already blogged about the story of my life, I will probably write some "Stories during my long life".
Awesome to see you here @vcelier, Eric is such an inspiration, you were fortunate to meet him in person. I will certainly read your story and look forward to learning about Cryptos from you, having started so early. I'm just s cook and love writing stories so have much to learn about the world of Crypto, but did learn last year that it's not just something that sits somewhere in the cloud, but can actually be turned into rands and cents when the right time comes along. Life stories are most welcome here too.
Welcome to the Silvers:)
So glad you subscribed @vcelier! You'll have much to contribute to the community!
I actually read your story last week and then this morning got around to reading about François Martin; it was brilliant! I always was an avid reader, have books all over the house; still prefer them to the Kindle;)
Of late though, with being busier now than during my years as a corporate worker, I don't get much time and my attention span has dropped drastically, but I found the story of François so inspiring that I went from one link to the next in no time! I saw in the comments that the character was loosely based on yourself; I see that kindness coming through in the way you have been supporting our Silvers; I salute you for that kind Sir!
Thank you.
A great post here Lady Lizzie and let's hope that this effort goes to the moon.
Now where are all of those 40 year and older hiveans? I can think of a few "youngsters" that might also pour their wisdom in here like the Austrian mountain goat @johannpiber
Then we also have the famous kp brothers @tarazkp and @galenkp and I am sure that the ladies @dswigle, @melinda010100 and their friends can jump in here.
Let's show the world the value and the wisdom that rests in the vaults of experience.
Everyone (above 40) is welcome to join this community, even "dummkopfs" like me.
I have to thank you and your Marian for the help with getting this a tad more polished and for putting me on the right path when I veered off in my rushed fashion as usual;)
I do hope some of those talented folk join in; a couple I can think of who may just make the age restriction - please forgive me if you don't;) and have not been mentioned are @bigtom13, @slobberchops, @farm-mom, @thebigsweed, @shaidon,@porters, @artemislives, @keithboone, @lenasveganliving, @barbara-orenya, @shadowspub, @goldendawne, @sultnpapper, @isabelpena, @pandamama and finally @sunscape
Haha ! thanks for the thought @lizelle 😁 I'm indeed among the silvers 🍻
Oh wow, great news, love the cute gif, you are so talented🤩
Oh, I meant I am in age, but didn't know the community...going to have a look this evening when work is off ! Thank you 😘
Hope to see you join us 🌻
I've just did ! This is a great idea of community 😁 Not sure I will contribute a lot, I'm kinda more working than in my previous young age...LoL..so have little time for now, but the idea pleases me and I keep a little place in my head for that and for your all, my boomer friends ❤️
I do fit the age requirements as much as I am reluctant to admit.
You should be proud, you're in good company, we're all well seasoned vintage models who've kept up with the times just by being here😅 hope you join the community🌻
I'll see what I can do.
We are both of the Saffers family Lady Lizzie and it was a pleasure to help.
This is a community that should have been established a long time ago and let's hope that other members could also have ideas for it's growth.
It was about high time we brought together all the seasoned silvers, just took a little nudge from @riverflows although she still is too young, not one silver hair there😉
Great that @riverflows prodded you and yes, it was the right time indeed!
I am offended!! I only have a few greys in my hair and beard!!
They don't act their age -but perhaps these guys are interested:
@bozz, @meesterboom, @abh12345
It's not grey, people are colour blind. It's actually silver and you'll be richer as more and more pops up 😉
I am counting the greys as we speak - is it a 1:1 kind of thing? ;)
New rule just added his very moment, the word grey is now regarded as NSFW around here, LOL!
A tip, don't count them otherwise they'll multiply at a much faster rate ;)
I hid mine with the help of a bottle much to my hairdresser's dismay but I realized they're actually natural highlights so now my salon bills are much much lower ;)
You are well in the bracket!! :0D
Actually so are most of hive's users!
What bracket?, sanity or madness?
Greetings Boomie.
Greetings Mr Z!
I like to think I fall into all of those brackets! :OD
Hahaha, beware as I know your heart and you are actually a camouflaged saint.
I bet that I am the very first to call you this.
So please don't blush and deny, else I will put your missus on your case.
Oy Vay, don't let those 3 notorious tags of yours see this, as I am the first to borrow you a ton of grey hairs.
Heh, heh, if I can find them as most of mine were repossessed a long time ago.
Welcome Taraz and at least we know that you will act your age, but I am a bit worried about the other lot 🤣
Haha that's a good way to describe it😅😅😅
Sorry for eavesdropping...and they say women talk too much🤣
Your friends are real good guys, I've not laughed so much for a long time...all by myself mind you😅
Hahaha, thank you Lady Lizzy and yeah, that's the only way that I can describe it.
Until 1980 I had a full head of blondish hair, but after the bike accident I went through 6 operations and high powered drugs. The stress was high and 2 years in plaster also didn't help.
Subsequently I had more operations and I never knew that aneasthetics can make one's hair fall out.
A quack also told me that the pills could have an effect.
So yes, the medical fraternity are now sitting with all of my hair 🤣
The other day I went to the barber and after he had cut the sides, he asked me if he should comb the two hairs at the top into a middle path.
So, I told him no and just to leave them so deurmekaar 🤣🤣🤣
And you still bring so much joy to this platform and to the poor communities here in SA kind sir, you are one amazing man!😇
You could become the perfect motivational speaker, but then we'd never see you here so better just stay buzzy here on Hive😉
I agree, just leave those two hairs deurmekaar and be careful that they don't also get repossessed😅 Thank you for helping gathering so many amazing Silvers here, a blessed Sunday for you and Marian 🤗
Nope, just an ordinary man that has made himself available to serve those that don't have Lady Lizzie.
Personally I don't very much like all of the motivational slogans, as they should rather place the focus on talent development.
Hahaha, that's why I hide those two precious hairs under a cap every day. One never knows when that South Easter wind has plans to remove my fringe 🤣
Those Silvers are all good friends that has shown their hearts to us and I am glad that they are all here. The future looks great for this community methinks 👍
A blessed new week also to you guys 🤗
I subscribed already!
Yay glad to see you here @bozz 😊
Thanks for tagging me here, Zac. It's a group that I am proud to qualify for!
Wonderful @melinda010100, welcome here 🤗🌻
Only a pleasure Lady @melinda010100 and we have come a long way together.
Thank you for joining and let's all grow the Silver Bloggers Community together.
Blessings!
Haha! Nothing like pointing fingers at the old people! ❤️
Hahaha, old maybe, but with young hearts and that makes all of the difference my friend.
Blessings.
Of course, it does! You know I am kidding. I had to run to the mirror and look!! :)) Good morning from here, @papillioncharity!
Happy Friday!
Who calls me a youngster here? But you are right, my friend, a mountain goat will never become old 🤣
If I did let my hair grow you would see more white hair than brown ones and they become more and more each day, so I think I suit to the silverbloggers I believe ... I have joined a minute ago 😀
Cheers and !BEER
!invest_vote
Hahaha, oh yeah, a mountain goat does not get old, just more stubborn 😜
I think that you would look cool with long hair and a long beard, as you would look like Merlin.
Maybe give it a go once you have hung your gun up in the police service.
Thanks for joining up my friend.
Cheers and thanks.
Haha, yeah, I'm a bit stubborn, that's true 😁
Actually, a couple of years ago I have had long hair - they reached down over my shoulders, but one day I said "enough" and cut them ... I just didn't want to wash and dry them anymore every day 🤣 but it's much better now 😊
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
!invest_vote
Only a bit stubborn? I will leave this here 😎
I think that you would have looked very cool with long hair.
Shorter is always easier Hannes and Marian cuts my hair on the number 2 setting with the machine.
Then I take the machine and I cut my beard and my moustache on the same setting.
Oh and also my eyebrows.
So, in the mornings, when I wash my face to wake up, I only wipe my head with my wet hand and then I am done for the day. Easy peasy 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
Yes, leave it here because I am right 😂🤣
I just didn't like them anymore and I feel so much better now with almost no hair - I cut mine myself without any distance holder 😉
Sometimes I shave, sometimes I let my beard grow for a few weeks and sometimes I keep it short like yours.
!LUV
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
!invest_vote
Oh yes, always a pain with long hair to keep it neat. Amazingly I see many old guys walking around here with long hair. Maybe they are clinging to their young days 🤣
So, you cut your own hair and I hope that you don't charge yourself too much for cutting your hair 🤣
I don't suppose that you cut your euebrows as well, as mine grows like bushes and people say that I look scary 🤣
Oh yeah, I grow in winter and I cut in summer. My beard is not easy to cut with a rasor, as the hair is like wires and the stubble even pricks me when I sleep, so I try to keep it short.
Here's my winter outfit.
I hang this photo in the toilet to scare the flies away and naughty little children 🤣
Scary isn't it 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
@johannpiber, sorry!

Thank you for your kind words!
I am calling over fellow silver Hiveans, @traciyork, @arcange, @richardfyates @snook, @joanstewart. I am sure I shall think of others.
I know I often say, I don't really "fit" into communities, but in this one, I feel right at home.
Please do let me know if I can help with this!

Awe thank you so much for sharing this with well-seasoned folk Fiona, and also for allowing me to share some of your Hive journey, funny I'm also a soon-to-be 4 year old Hivean as is @papilloncharity! The youngest Silver that I mentioned in this blog @ericvancewalton, actually is the oldest Hivean🙂🌻
Great stuff, Lizelle. I'm also calling over @the-bitcoin-dood and @pixiepost and will return as others pop into my head...
I will certainly need help with this, will give you a shout when things are a little clearer, thank you Fiona!
PS I edited it slightly to include our artist's sculptures as he did the painting as a love job;) and added some links to everyone's outside activities.
Thanks for mention @fionasfavourites with it being shopping day I may have missed this.
Well I just made the cut, I think. 😁
I love this idea, but I'm just not sure I meet all of the requirements. When you say Silver Bloggers, I know you're referring to folk between the ages of 40/100 but do they also need to have a head full of hair that has turned silver over the years. Sporting no hair on the top of my head at all, do I still make the cut?
All kidding aside, it will be my honor to join this community along with some of the wonderful people you mention.
I will be keeping an eye out for any further information about this new community.
Thanks for the mention my friend!
Haha I never thought of that one my friend but thank you so much for responding, look forward to seeing some of your wonderful blogs in here🤗
@thebigsweed Oh now you have spoiled it, as I was about to mention you guys in a reply here today.
Welcome my friend!
My bad. 😁
👉👍👈
Well @papilloncharity says his hair got repossessed, so you also qualify😅
This community is a great idea @Lizelle, I have joined a minute ago, although I'm a youngster, as Zac @papilloncharity says 😉
I believe, that my good friend Jo @redheadpei from Canada would suit here quite well too 😊
By the way, after almost 3 years on the Blockchain I still feel as a Crypto Virgin 🤣

BEER.Fabulous seeing you here amongst the Silvers @redheadpei, great that you north of the forties; I always say age is but a number. Funny when I went to a school class reunion a couple of years ago, we all felt like we were back at school, young and free just for that evening! Why can't we feel like that all of the time...Life I suppose, but welcome:)
I’m happy to be part of your new community @lizelle. Yes, as long as we are on the right side of the sod then lets live life to the fullest. 🌸
LOL, glad I'm not the only one feeling that way, my son advises me but thankfully there are many helpful Hiveans here! Sooo glad you joined, I'm really looking forward to a great future for our group🤩🌻
I hope that in the near future I will have more time to post, but I will certainly keep an eye on the cool new community 😃

Count me in, even though I am far too young and dashingly handsome. I just might have a grey hair ;0D
LOL, I'm sure we can find at least one grey, oh no, I meant silver hair! Grey sounds way too boring and OOOLD and that we certainly ain't;)
Thank you so much for joining in, it's gona be fun!
Nice to support, when and if able always find time slipping through my fingers of late. Too much reading too little posting....
Call out to @jlufer @wwwiebe @jayna @porters @redheadpei @barbara-orenya @ninahaskin @denmarkguy @mariannewest I am sure would all love to share here.
Thank you Joan, and welcome to the Silvers! I know the feeling, find myself up till the wee hours and it's catching up! Thank you so much for tagging some of the people you know as well, really great to see the growth of our group.
We all find ourselves juggling something or another, mostly time! Should be an interesting community with many stories to share. One person I did forget initially is @tattoodjay 🙃
Thanks for tagging me great idea and I'm in
Look forward to seeing you enjoy this community.
👍🙂👍
Interesting idea. Sorry, I am a little too young to join this group, #silverbloggers. Not a silver hair on my head.😁😂🤣
Ok, ok, in my mind I am still under forty, and my hair color comes from a bottle. hehe
Good luck with this new community, I'll be watching, learning and listening.
Oh, by the way I just started reading Eric Vance Walton's book Mindful Moments. I'll let you know how it goes.
We'll have to drop the age limit, sooo sorry you're not there yet, I assumed you woukd make the cut as you're a grammy, so sorry, but at least @thebigsweed makes it so we'll still hear all about you for sure if he blogs in the silvers;)
I used to bottle my hair till one day when grey/silver became the go-to colour, so I grew it all out and now have natural highlights;)
So glad you've got Mindful Moments, enjoy it my friend 😍
All I can think to say is... 😊
Oh yay @traciyork, fabulous having you here🥳🥳🥳
How fun! I will join and make sure I pop in to see the haps. I've been on the blockchain for the same amount of time as you, @lizelle. It's amazing how far we've come, isn't it?
What a wonderful initiative @lizelle! Thank you very much for including me.
You're one of our younger Silvers, so a big thank you for being here and for the inspiration you have provided in that wonderful bio, really appreciate it my friend!
My pleasure, Lizelle! It's an honor to be included in this group! I know it's going to be very successful.
Congrats on setting up your new community Lizzie, and great to see that you have plenty of support from seasoned Hivers.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and advice, I still have a lot to learn but am super excited about this:)
Good luck with your community. I think it is a wonderful idea. Cheers! 👍😊
Thank you so very much @quotes-haven, it's great meeting you! Took a peek at your blog, love it🌻
Thank you for stopping by my blog, and for your kind words. It's great meeting you too. Cheers! 😊
Ok, boomer... this sounds like a wonderful idea @lizelle and I'm sure it will be a big success! Thanks for the invitation and I'm happy to accept, even though I'm about to break through that upper age limit you set! I guess I can hang out with you youngsters for a while :-)
Haha, that's a good one, us youngsters;) Great to have you onboard @keithboone, we've really got some diverse and talented members here, just awesome! Happy landings old man 😅
I'll be honest... I'm actually younger than my reputation and I'd like to keep it that way! :-)
LOL so am I, never thought of it that way, makes me feel a tad younger then if you look at it that way not so :) I hope it stays that way for me as well ;)
I'm 400 y.o...I guess I'm too old for the community ? 😄
Luckily my Hooman artist is barely 51, I think she is opportunely ripe 😁
Haha, love the responses we're getting, thank goodness Luigi's hooman artist falls within the age restriction, just awesome to have you onboard talented hooman artist 🥳😍
@luigi-the-gnome You are more than welcome my friend. Pile in and let's grow together.
Oh my goodness! I am in!!! Absolutely love this Lizelle! I am actually retired, but not on regular retirement but disability, because of my back pain,besides other things, although I am not bragging about it. Thank you for tagging me 💖🙏💖
Oh yay, that's awesome, sooo glad you're here as well Lena. Sorry about your back but you don't let that stop you from creating such works of art in the kitchen! And your stunning photography too, amazing lady🥰
Thank you so much Dear Lizelle 💖🙏💖
And despite all my challenges, I have to stay focus on creative and meaningful projects. Otherwise I would go crazy. In addition, I do need extra money, lol. What I am getting from government is barely enough to pay rent and food.
This is why I started our bnb initially as I could see we would not be able to maintain our property and staff plus the lifestyle with just our pensions although hubby's is good but he's always trying to help someone or other 🙄. So with the bnb last year having to close during lockdown, Hive really was a gift from heaven plus all the friends and challenges here kept me sane🥰
It's a great platform do doubt! But you have also a lot to offer to this community Lizelle, so I guess it work both ways. But that's the way it should be 😍
Wao, what an emosion, friend @lizelle, a community where we can understand each other, I loved that you created this community and of course I join it. Thank you for including me.
I'm sooo happy that you joined us @isabelpena, we've got an awesome group of people already, going to be great🤩
So basically...i still have to wait 2yrs more before joining...can't i be an exception!? 😉😉😉
Seriously...it's really great starting this new community my friend.
Wish you all the best!
👍👍👍
Haha, 2 years will fly by in no time. We'll have to see about that age restriction😅
Thank you so much for the good wishes, really appreciate it.
Brilliant idea. I embrace this whole-heartedly!!!
Awesome @richardfyates, thank you so very much, great meeting you here!
Well done my friend, this can only reach the sky. Thank you for giving us Silver bloggers a stage to show our talent. All the best with this new community, I love it.
And a huge thank you to Pete for doing this for us, I edited the post to include two of his sculptures and provided the link to his Facebook page that I meant to do last night, but the grey/silver matter needed sleep as it was past midnight!
Thank you my friend, you are to kind, love the photos. It was only a pleasure to help. Beautiful post love it.
really great idea! I am amazed and impressed that your generation is active here on Hive!
Hahaha, thank you and our generation sent the first rockets to the moon my friend 🤣
So yes there is a load of combined experience available on hive and hopefully it will be channeled here.
LOL but seriously, age is but a number as long as you don't start acting your age as that is the quickest way to get old 😉
11 more months and I'm in! 😜 Lovely idea @lizelle. Definitely fits a hole in the current community offerings!

Hola hola, I am very happy with this idea, congratulations for this new beginning in the platform, I am sure it will be for the benefit of all. So far I have seen wonderful content. God bless you
What a great idea just saw this now and have joined
I'm soooo glad you joined @tattoodjay, you were on my radar but did not see that you were back again, this kept me busy as I have a lot to learn still about running a community, awesome that you're here!
Its a greta idea and I see so many I know in here which is great I wish I could help but I really dont know much about communities
I'm just happy that you're here, sure you can tell us a lot about what you've been getting up to;)
I will do my best not up to a lot these days
I can fully understand especially as your wife is recovering.
My soon-to-be 90 year old Mom fractured her ankle about 8 weeks ago and it's been tough nursing her as she also has a balance problem from a non malignant brain tumour, so I do the bathroom duties which is not easy at all!
We don't realise just how thankful we need to be for good health until illness or injuries strike not so.
Please take care of yourself too.
Thanks and yes I am doing my best to take care of myself
Hello @lizelle I just found this Community. How nice to have a place for us Silver Hivers. I'll be around.
Lizelle, I realized I haven't a name in the community. How do I get one?
Hi @ladyfont, I'm sooo sorry I only saw your question now! Just reply here with the name you would like and we'll add it for you.
Hi Lizelle, I just saw your reply. I have been sick. Don't worry about that I imagine how buzy you are with Hive, bussiness and family. It can be SilverLady. Thanks, take care.
You're now known as Lady Silver in our community;) Hope you're feeling better now!
Gracias Lizelle

does the rule still states that only age 40 and above could join?
We no longer are restricting it to 40 plus, younger folk with 'old souls' can join, although the topics need to be in line with Silver Bloggers.
I couldn't deduct what could be posted in the community , can you summarise what could be posted in the community in short please
Excellent and congratulations. I got started in the community last week with the proposed contest. It's nice to know that there is a space to share the experiences that gives the age and suddenly find a new hobby to learn that is one of my great passions. Greetings and many successes to all. 😊
