Hi Joe

Glad to see you made it to the meet.sorry i didnt tho cos would have liked to caught up with you!

Shirley

Looks like I am the last to offer words to this thread. I didn't get home till veeery late and with clocks going back I must have got completely disorientated by sometime Sunday.
However, now I would like to express my thanks to the organisers of the London Meet - my first thoughts were that we would be downstairs again and on our own but the move upstairs was, in fact, favourable. (Upstairs being Ground Floor - no wonder I feel disorientated !).
It was good to see all the usual faces plus a few new ones though disappointing that there were a few 'missing' but Smarties and other goodies were reasonable compensation (though someone had nicked the red Smarties before I got to them).
Surprise - Robin of Loxley wasn't wearing tights and his Maid Marion had obviously scarpered; not being on this Board as much as in the past I was shocked at the news of HRH but I am sure we will meet again at future Meets - whoevers ! ; Jean - difficult, but don't worry too much, your sense of humour as a Lunduner YOU WILL come through and be as bright as a button ....
So now we will all meet again in the New Year it seems - bit early to wish you all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year so I wont but Maz and all who organised this meeting Thankyou.

Maz........please take photos as he grows........lol

lovely words there Robin, you've hit the nail on the head with our Jean, not to mention the beautiful Dee :-)))

Maz. XX

Yes I did get your smartie Jan .............. it came in very useful ............................ some Australian fella is currently trying to cough it up !!!

LOL

Ooooh

... did you notice, Jan, he said just a few words ? ... :-)

noooo a whole one for Robin lol

Thought it was half a smartie?

and did ya get my smartie?

... :-)

So ..................... I can't help it if I am greedy !

Ahem! - Jean said she gave hugs to my 2 special men ... :-)

Just a few quick words of thanks to the admirable Maz (who so readily forgave me for not recognizing her when she first said hello to me), and Lynda ( whose hospitality and warmth is second to none) for their time and effort in bringing us all together yesterday.

I am never easily pleased ……………….. but yesterday found me most content.

I entered that room a shivering wreck, not knowing what horrors I might be facing…….. yet within minutes I were engulfed in the warmth of a thousand hearts.

My thanks to Chris H, who was my perfect hostess.

That Bibliomaniac who exceeded my every expectation ………………… but it remains to be seen if my pleadings will see her amongst us once more.

That most admirable Dee from Bexleyheath ……………….. with whom I could have spoken forever.

The good Lady Vivienne, who has suffered two of my failed promises to kiss her hand, yet so graciously received me on this occasion.

And I cannot believe that I had to ask the good Lady Jane to write down her elaborate board name so that I would not mistake her for another ! And I wonder if My Lady might pass on my compliments to her fine knight ……………. whose more than firm handshake is still reverberating up my arm !

I am most grateful to those fine ladies Joy and Meercat, whose hugs, in their absence, were delivered with gusto by the effervescent Julie.

Have I mentioned Suzy Camay ? If not then I miss a fine Lady whose company I must share more often on this Board.

And how could I ever forget Rosy ………………………. and one of our Australian friends whose limited command of the English language almost brought about the bar brawl to end all bar brawls ! …………………. LOL

And Monsieur Owen !!! …………… whose affinity and affability did warm my heart.

Those Ladies from Kent were most agreeable ………………………. and the fun loving Viv and Ann do hold me to a promise which I fear I may not deliver. And I have not forgotten Dizzi or Pat.

There were so many others …………… and I pray they might forgive me for failing to mingle sufficiently.


But I have left one until last .

I came looking to offer comfort to a dear friend ……………….. yet within seconds of seeing her once more I were swept off my feet ………….. literally.

My Lady Jean is the most agreeable company I have yet to savour ……………………… and her hugs are second to none ! ….. LOL

We will no doubt see many more meets such as this My Lady.

And I shall be most content if the company is just as rich !
