Ok who did I meet and what were my first impressions:

Tina I have met before and she was much the same. Well dressed, polite and gracious softly spoken and appeared to enjoy herself.

Daff, mad as a box of frogs!! Younger than I had imagined ooh Ill get in trouble for that. I think I mixed her up with someone else I had seen a photo of, very kind and caring and a what you see is what you get kind of person, but if you get it you get it in spades :)

Ann of Green Gables. Very smart, well represented and not in the least bit shy. If you can imagine Joanna Lumley crossed with Joan Rivers that sums up Ann's smart well dressed appearance with a wicked sence of humour.

Claire from Wales - a total scream - reminds me of a much younger version of my fathers wife. A busy person but not a busy body - takes life embraces it and chucks out the bad bits, too busy enjoying the fun bits. Spontanious and has strength of charactor thats to be admired.

Jax - A Fun happy go lucky person that cares deeply for her family. Comfortable in herself and totally nuts to spend more time travelling than she did meeting us all, but it was a pleasure to meet her.

Did I miss anyone?

Oh Ron - A very freindly and genuine person his stall was great and if I wasnt so overwhelmed by everything and one else I think I would have spent longer at it. I meant to buy one of his sets of rules - Ill have to go to his website to get it.

I think I saw his wife or a lady that was very busy on his stall and about but I didnt get a chance to say hello.

PS His stuff was better quality and value for money than some selling similar but no one had the fantastic wall chart he had up and he hasnt even paid me to say that lol.

All in all I enjoyed the day - Tina and I didnt sneak off and find a place to play scrabble (which was in the boot of my car as plan b if it was a nightmare).

Thank you everyone for making my day so different and enjoyable.

couldn't care less really - if she feels she has the stomach for it, carry on, just hope she's not of a nervous disposition or has young children in the vicinity when she views them!!

Hi Maddie - hope you enjoy that brand - when I allow myself a little tipple - which is very rare - that is the brand I buy. So not being a wine buff would not know, but do know what I like! lol

Funniest thing was Tina being accosted NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!!

There we were quietly looking at some post cards or something and a woman siddled up and ask if she was a waif and stray ......... holding up a daffoldil Keyring...... gawd knows how many other people she had been up too!

Was Tina's red skirt gave her away everytime and thats the story of how we met Daff - she tried to introduce us to Ann - but she had darted away and was flirting with the doorman or some such!

Later on our way for Coffee a mad woman grabbed Tinas arm ....Are you Tina she said..... Tina almost wet herself I was saying Say no!!!

And that was the Lovely Claire from Wales who was a real Joy but scared the Cr*p out of us at first, but drives wonderfully and if it wasnt for her we would never have found the watering hole - we follwed her all the way there :) Again was the red skirt that gave Tina away.

Next time tina tell everyone you will where Red again and where Blue hehehehe
