Sheila, I know Jean wanted to say she hoped you had a good day, however she has slipped a disc, I don't know how, probably picking up an extra heavy wine glas,lol. But she is a bit incapacitated & in a lot of pain. I'm sure she will be back soon, probably having a pop at my posting, glad you had a good lunch.

It was lovely to see you both again must make it again soon, and I have BBQ to look forward to when it warms up a bit cant wait.

Liz a Million thanks to you and Guido for the warm welcome you gave us you are true Hosts.

Simbas it was lovely to meet such a wonderful Welsh Lady and to come all that way to see us how kind of you.

Take care all of you.

Sheila (Smithy)

Hi Lilli & Guido



It was great meeting up with you both last week. The pair of you work very hard and having heard how tough it has been for you and your family certainly deserve to succeed...If your food is any indication then you will have no problems at all...absolutely first class!!!



It was great also meeting up with my forum sweetheart Pat (Simbas) she is real welsh cracker!!! and Pat (Ballyboffin) whose invite to catch up in the summer is something we will do.



We will be back over again at the end of May and look forward to seeing you both then...in the meantime keep up the good work.



Jim & Fiona.

Hi all - so pleased to had such a wonderful time. Sheila and Liz - thank you for your good wishes. Feeling much better today, thank you. Yesterday I thought I was a gonner! I have had a bad back on and of for many years, but had not had an 'attack' like that one for a long, long time. Thankfully, my GP was very understanding and although he could not come out, he kindly left a prescription for strong painkillers for Paul to collect from the surgery. With those and a rather large quantity of wine, I got a good night's sleep and today, although limping around like a crippled person, back/leg are much improved. Pity - no housework for me this weekend



Looking forward to meeting lots of you next month.



Love

Jeannie

Hi Dee

What about Friday the 5th June if that's OK with everyone and again all are welcome,

especially if Richard Gere is free on that day I would be willing to taxi him to and fro then again I might not want to share him LOL

Let me know if that date is fine

Hi all - unfortunately, we are not arriving until 7 June (for 3 weeks). It looks as though I'll be missing out yet again!! Any chance of perhaps some of us meeting up during those 3 weeks? Even if it's just for coffee?



Love



Jean

Greetings Cooper - hope you are well. It would be great if something could be arranged during the dates you mention - Paul has said that if you're going, he'll go! Apparently, he didn't fancy spending a couple of hours with a lot of cackling women (I don't know why). Anyway, it would be good to meet as many people as possible.



With best wishes.
