Yay! I'm first home. 'Twas a very select gathering with a bonus prize! Chris Houselander came all the way from Cambridge to join us! We nibbled cucumber sandwiches and drank iced mineral water and had sedate conversation, as befits ladies wot lunch. Chris, Sheila and Jess it was great to meet you. Claire, Izzy and Dawnie it was lovely to meet you again. Roll on the summer hols when we can do it again! Gwynne

Fibber - we tucked into the most delicious grub and drank ,well, anything that they'd serve us , or not! ( even those of us that changed our mind!) If you thought we had a laugh at Browns , you should have come back to the ststion with us, where syncronised Pee'ing resulted in Dawn vandalising the toilets - well, it sounded like it! Good day, Thanks Guinivere, for getting us sorted! Jess x

Hi there, Just got back. It was lovely to meet old and new friends alike, really enjoyed our meet and will try and sort out the photos to put on site tonight! As I'm off for a couple of days it might be at weekend though, so bear with me. Looking forward to our next meet in the summer - maybe we can get a few more to come along, we are going from strength to strength with 7 today. No - we didn't drag them off the street incase you were wondering! Thanks for a lovely day ladies Iz x

Now, if that bloke HAD of walked past on the way in , i might have been tempted to drag HIM in! it was all good (clean ) fun! Hope Dawnie managed to get Christine back on the right train, She'll be home at about 8pm I think- last seem disappearing onto a one-carriage choo choo puff, heading to Nuneaton. Please note - Dawn is not good with directions but is a whizz with train timetables - they read vertically apparently - Ah! that where I was going wrong!

Hello All, just checking in! :)) It was really lovely to meet you all, I was lucky enough to get an earlier train back, Dawnie saw me on it very safely! :)) I've had a great day, and am so glad I listened to both Daisy and Julie, they say I must get out more, so I'm doing as I'm told and enjoying myself, I love train journeys, hmm, where to next I ask myself! :)) Lovely sunshine as well!. Thankyou all, Chris :)

Christine - thought i was taking a chance, leaving you all alone with Dawnie to guide you safely home - obviously she succeded in getting you on the right train - still cant work out why your train departed before mine ( although mine was supposed to be 10 mins before yours.) Warwickshire logic i suppose. beging to wonder if she made it home herself, although gues she has gone to get her little May blossoms from Granny - Aviod the A14 at all costs tonight folks! Jess

rushes in appologises ladies for late reply but I didn't take Christines advice and went back looking for this rather gorgeous train man. Forget what Jess says she was the vandal, now what did that hand dryer ever do to you???? have only just got in from picking terrors up and just tucked in to a McDonalds. Christine glad you got back okay good timing that was. Thanks all you ladies had a really good day and look forward to the summer one.

Oh I am sooooo pee'd off I had to go back to work! It was lovely to see Gwynne and Iz again, and lovely to meet Jess, Sheila and Dawnie, and bless Christine for coming all the way from Cambridge! We will certainly have to do it again in the summer. Now Jess and Dawnie, what did I miss? Tasty men, toilet vandalising? Will Coventry ever be the same again? Claire xx

Ahhh you see, was always quite a big Goth scene when I was at college. I know all the best pubs to go to if you like sullen and pouty young men dressed in black with long hair. Claire xx
