Hello all Had a brilliant time yesterday. Trying to get onto the photo page but it keeps dying on me. I know Alan got me with my wine in my hand. (true colours beginning to show now!!) It was great meeting up with Carol B again and Maz and David (remeber me David - think you were going to do your 'mystic meg ' bit for me!!!!| - the memory does return eventually lol) I got introduced to HRH (my namesake) I am sure I curtseyed (I always thought she was a scary monster - but I don't think she knows so better keep it quite lol) Always wanted to meet her, and I am really glad that I have. Met Buttercup, who is lovely and Sue another lovely lady and all in all spend about 5 hours talking..... So thanks to everyone for making me welcome and I will look out for you on the boards. Oh by the way - not long been home from the Sandringham Show and have 'aquired' another ferret - hubby couldn' t resist.. Lyndax |

Sorry I didn't really get to talk to quite a few people... maybe next time. Paul x ps, I have some DREADFUL pictures of one or two people, I'll hold them back for blackmail purposes lol |

Hello all, sorry for not posting sooner, I got back early evening-ish yesterday but spent last night sorting out photos and it took longer than anticipated - however they are all up there on GCPhotospage so check them out when you have a moment. Thanks/Blame (delete where appropriate) should go to Steph, who took some brilliant ones. Nice ones of Pink and Bec lol. Had a great time though and like others have said, it was good chatting to those who hadn't been before as well as those who had. Roll on the next one. I also managed not to leave anything behind at the pub and found the hotel on the way back although I don't remember walking at all, so presumably the beer bus picked me up lol. Visited the Tate Britain yesterday before coming home. Andy |

The hangover was real enough Lynda, although it had subsided a little by the time I was wandering around the Tate. I enjoyed it, it was only 10 mins from my hotel and I saw the exhibition for BBC1's 'A Picture of Britain', a programme I've been following with interest. No, nothing left behind, no jackets or anything like that. It's possible I may have left my conscience somewhere on Sat night though lol. |

Shelli, have you tried going in to the actual photospage itself: http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotospage/shoebox.msnw rather than going through the main page to get to the photos section. |

It sounds like you all had such a great time. I'm sorry I missed it. Did anyone manage to persuade Ewan to do the Sahara trek? Love Jack x |

Hi all! Just in case you were worried - I'M HOME. Sorry for the late check in.... blame it on the lukewarm mussels! Thanks everyone for a wonderful time, great to see you all and to meet some first-timers - the lovely Buttercup (congratulations - but NO!!! Don't get the tattoo)!!! - And Ferret Lady Lynda, whose emails seem to travel worldwide without her knowledge! Also our Chunky Monkey and Sharon and all the other lovely folk. Daisy - book me into Claridges next time too - although I'm not sure I could keep up with all you youngsters...(I'll have a flippin good try though)!! Thanks Steedie, you little smasher, for organising it all...have you booked us in for a Christmas meet yet? Dee x |

Dee - Claridges it is then! Although I suspect we'd end up with a few extras! Jack - I had a lovely chat with him as I left but have a feeling he won't come. Shame, would love to get to know him better. Quite a lot lurking under that skin I think! And no I'm not being naughty! Daisy |

What can you mean Daisy - extra's?????? I agree that there is quite a lot lurking under Ewan's skin... They're called muscles love - and I doubt they are the lukewarm variety!!! LOL Dee x |
