Good to hear that the sun shone long enough for you to use your bargain sunbeds.

I hope there are many more sunny days for you.

I was thinking more the cossie you get when you're five and it fits right through until you are a teenager due to horizontal and vertical shirring elastic :-D It made a ruched squares effect and was cotton material.

I was trying to find a lamb cam thread for old times sake and happened on this :-D

How pleasant chat was at that time. This would be just before GR rejigged the site and merged general and chat - each served a different audience - then the fun haters rocked up. :-( :-( :-(

I was puzzled, for a couple of minutes, as to why the rest of the country seemed to be suffering a downpour while the weather was so good here. :-)

Lol I was confused as well, but how lovely to see old friends like Julia in Derbyshire on here. I so wish we knew what happened to her that she suddenly stopped posting. Thanks for reviving this one Island. :-) :-) They were such lovely days on here (well mostly :-D)
