    Thank you Caterina, I'm so disappointed but have only been 99% lately so saw GP today and diagnosed with shingles. Almost wish I hadn't gone, now I know what it is it seems to hurt even more (all in the mind, I know) but at least it's nothing more sinister. Have a super day, I'll be with you in spirit if not in scabby :eek: body

    Just in sparrer - and had just put it all in a Body Shop bag pour demain. Back in the hot water cupboard it can go, to carry on maturing nicely. I will do that X5 thing and drop them off...prob. not till mid-May now.

    Shingles...my mother was thus afflicted in senior years, went through Hell by all accounts[and was not of that ilk]. I send hugest sympathy. It's a nasty one.

    Take real care.

    If you think I'm ignoring you, :o I'm not, I still can't hear on my left side and sometimes only a bit on my right.

    Oh poor you Sparrer, shingles is horrid, get well NOW! (((HUGS)))

    Sorry to hear you also are not well IOIWE, will miss you.

    MatyMoo and Ivyleaf, it would be great if you can both make it, hope you feel well enough, it is a lovely day and the garden of the Blackheath cafe is glorious this time of the year!

    Thank you for good wishes M.E. (sorry you cannot come, see you at another one), cat_smith (next time you could organise it so you can make it a weekend in London!) and MeanMarie (catch up with you in a few weeks in Tempio!).

    Looks like we will have to organise another one soon, to catch up with those of you who cannot make it this time.

    Updated list:

    Vouchersrme
    Minihauk
    MatyMoo (maybe, Blakcheath only)
    Ivyleaf (maybe, Blackheath only)

    Thank you Caterina, I'm okay really - certainly not depressed (see 5OS Pleasures) just cross with myself as I don't 'do' being unwell.

    Have an amazing day, (((Hugs)))to everyone and to the poorlies, let's all get well NOW!

    Grrr,:( so sorry I am not there. I am thinking of you all sitting in that nice sun-trap garden (and I was looking forward to a rock cake!). I was feeling much better this morning, so after lunch I was getting ready to come, trying on loads of previous years' tops only to find some of them are now too tight to look nice :eek: (that ought to start me eating more healthily if nothing else does!), finally decided I looked fine in what I had on and then started to realise that actually I didn't feel great, why was my tummy sore? Then realised, TOTM! So cross, I'm 57 and hadn't had TOTM since end of January so I was getting quite hopeful! :o

    So anyway, instead of being with you lovely lot I am sitting here sipping Solpadeine :mad: . Oh well, can't be helped, hopefully next time, eh! Hope you have (or had, by the time you read this) a lovely time xx

    Hi all

    We had a lovely day but there was an inconvenience, the Blackheath place was closed so we put a note on the door and decanted to the pub across the road. So, Ivyleaf, thank you for imagining us there in the little garden, instead we sat in a rather cold shady and windy courtyard in the pub. Sorry you could not make it, but there will be another one soon, hopefully.

    Regardless of the cold, the company was great and new people met each other and made friends. The chemistry was there, as always!

    Jellie, Zoelikesjam and Mrlikesjam, sorry we did not see you, hope you did not get lost!

    Thank you to all who came along and hope to see you soon again!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    As I sat on my train to Reading this morning I was tempted to stay on to Paddington, but I was good and changed to the Newbury train instead, where I have had a good day with my mother. Shame you were sat in a shady place, as it was lovely in the sun!
