Hobbies and Crafts

I have to catch up with a bit of the reading. and need to put Rosie's together and offer her some praise or constructive criticism.. I was waiting to see how it was fairing a bit more.. so will look at that... I did get a little confused with GlossieAnn's and then thought I better go over hers again and then lo and behold we got an updated version.

I will see if I can add another reader to the group.. I am passing Rosie's on to her with Rosie's approval of course.

How are things with you Emma and your young friend?

Jane, Jane where art thou Jane, have you heard any more from her GlossieAnn?

Persie

I'm fine thanks Persie, how about you and yours :-)

No change with our friend unfortunately, thanks for asking <3

No perse, didn't see any more from her.

If you are confused with mine I can send out the whole version. We are away until Sunday now at Gt Grandsons first birthday party but could do it when I come back. :-)

It's okay GlossieAnn ta... I have put all yours on word with your comments so should be okay.. and am going to run through Rosie's again as well..


We went to inter ashes today and then had lunch out. My mother's cousin died in April and her husband died a few years back so there was a few of the family that went and stood bravely in the cold wind.. good thing we weren't scattering them.

We all put poppies in the hole as well, they were both in the forces, met overseas in Fiji during the war. It was how my parents met as well only my mother had returned and dad was a Sergeant Cook in the Officer's mess here and she had to do waiting on the tables. It was always a laugh when my children were little that their Nana was a batman.

It has been too hot to write this week folks and with OH having a birthday so a day out I haven't really had time either so I am lagging behind a bit. sorry I will catch up I hope. :-D :-D :-D

No probs Ann :-D <3

I would be failing as 'leader' of this thread if I didn't say on here how much we are going to miss our lovely friend BC. She has not been up to writing much in the past few months but I have been thinking back to her 'frolicking nuns' as she called them and all the other lovely stories she wrote for us, some that had me crying with laughter. I always loved the little biographical tales when she re-lived her life in Ireland as well. And I am so pleased that she managed to fulfil her ambition of staying in a large villa in Italy.

So BC farewell you will not be forgotten by your writing friends as well as the many other friends on GR. I shall raise a glass to you this evening, sorry it won't be Baileys but G&T but I know you would forgive that. Rest in peace lovely lady and if you have a mind and are able, please send us a few inspirations. <3 <3 <3

God Bless her <3

Well said thank you Ann <3

Well said Ann,

It has been a very sad day.

Just realised (blockhead that I am), I have continued to forward my pieces to the late BC in error.

Sorry about that.

Blithering dunce (aka Dermot).

Oh I am sure that she would be highly amused at that Dermot. Who knows, she may be receiving them :-D

Hi all I've sent out another piece of the Snow Globe, but it has bounced back from Emma's email :-(

Emma can you let me know where you have got up to with receiving the SnowGlobe, and your email addy, I think i might have the old one? :-)

Thanks Dermot and Ann for your last send out :-D

Hi all, I am beginning to wonder if it is worth carrying on with this group. I sent out last week and haven't any idea if everyone received it. The only response I had was from Emma - thanks emma for never missing a response.

So, maybe it has run its course, maybe you are all bored with the story. There are so few of us now, only Dermot, Rose and I plodding on. Is it worth it.

You would think there were at least a few budding writers lurking in the boards wouldn't you? give them a nudge BC would you?: I am sure you are watching us. We do miss your funny and sometimes naughty offerings.

Anyway, what do the rest of you think? :-S

AnninGlos - good idea to have a rest.

Just had a count of my pithy contributions - 74 articles since I joined in January 2012.

I have a few in the pipeline requiring 'adjustments' - but I'll hold on to them till the new year at least.

But it would be a pity for the 'club' to fade away entirely.

Thank you for replying Dermot. Go on, send one out this week I enjoy your offerings. then we'll see what the others think. :-)

Re not receiving notification of new posts on here, it's really annoying that they have been sent to 'promotion's' rather than my 'primary' inbox, so I will have to watchout for that too. Some of my PMs are notified in my 'primary inbox' but some are going to spam :-S i can have two messages on the trot from someone and then the next one from the same person a minute or two later ends up in spam :-|

Thanks to you both for latest contributions, I've been busy ( job hunting, visitors etc) and I will be away tomorrow and Sunday but will reply after that, I have read though! and still trying to write another chapter.

I wouldn't like to see the group close, it would be nice to have some more writers though :-D

Thank you Rose. Hope you find something suitable soon.

Ann, I'm not sure how many people come and look at the hobbies board? I don't usually I admit, do you think it might be worth putting a thread on General to see if anyone else might like to join?

I always make sure I reply to all who send me so
you know I have received them.

Maybe a break till New Year would be good for you
it must be difficult to send out every week but I would
like to see the group carry on as I enjoy your pieces. :-)
