Maybe it was my mum - Frances! She did say she'd met you! She's the same era as Kerren!
However today she has gone to a Folk Festival, so can't confirm til later

Ha Ha!! my younger sister's there too, so I seriously hope not! Actually I'm a little jealous... my mother & sister have gone to see my favourite band without me!
Show of Hands at Rochester Castle - should be a great show (assuming the weather's ok). Just a bit too far for me to travel.

Tipping it down here at the mo!! First rain we've had for what seems like weeks!
Yesterday was a good day all round - I didn't spot you there though Neill although I did meet Frances and Kirri and briefly Mrs C.

wish it was tipping it down here! It's been very close today, and oppressive, but it's still dry......and therefore I did feel that I needed to water the garden this evening. I'd be glad for some rain to burst the pressure bubble...

to cheer you all up it was hailing here today (May Day - big holiday) and snow is predicted for Tuesday.... the day I was planning to go to the open air pool for the first time this year (therefore my fault).

I can only plead the onset of senility !
My apologies for mis-identification !
BTW--- TBA thouroughly enjoyed herself, but still mainains CH is not as wonderful as Abbeydale Grammer in Sheffield !
I can only mutter, under my breath !!!

On my rare visit to the forum these days, I was saddened to here that some of us are unwell, but so heartened by the courage inherent in Old Blues. OB Day was indeed wonderful, but would have been all the better if those wonderful ladies fighting the b*****s could have joined with us. Next year, I am sure you will both be there.
I loved being there and travelling up from the westcountry with some wonderful people - the fact that none of us had met before really did not seem to matter. Thanks for your company.

I'll be there again as and when I can walk more easily, albeit maybe for only a few yards.....I'm just not yet ready to appear in public in an electric buggy or on a wheeled walking frame.....
But my problems are as nothing compared to Maggie and Anne and their b*gg*rs. I, too, truly hope that they are both doing well.
