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

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.

Andy Report 27 Jun 2005 09:58

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
