    Hi again, Everyone, Where are you, Floss? Maybe we could have another get together in the North as well? I'm going to use National Express to get down to London. From Louth, as I'm over 60, it costs £16 return; not bad for a distance of around 150 miles.

    I love the sound of your meet up but I'm too far away. Look forward to hearing all about it!

    My only MM&M today has been to eat the remains of the steak and ale pie! We had extra pastry that I had kept in the fridge (that's the best bit for me!).

    Will try harder tomorrow.

    I'm in Blackpool. Also, as I work full time any meet would have to be at a weekend - when I'm not on my allotment or decorating cakes.

    Sorry if I'm sounding like a wet blanket, but to travel to London & beyond is cost-prohibitive for me, and my DH and I want to have a holiday for our 5th anniversary in September so all spare £s are going towards that. It will be our first holiday since our honeymoon.

    No I was not panicking just thinking two people would have to go without food for a few months to pay for it.


    I think it is great that a North/south meet up has been suggested!


    I am sure it will be lovely to meet up in person.

    Ok I am going to suggest that we meet up on either Wednesday 10th or Thursday 11th June. Vulpix- does that mean you can join us? I do hope so.

    Please could you all PM me if you would like/are able to come.

    Wow thats something worth saving for , Floss. :) You have a great incentive to MM&M then.

    I'll get all the recipes on page 1 once I get a chance to get on my lappy. At the mo I've been nipping on and off on my tablet and I'm all fingers and thumbs on this thing.

    I won't be joining you myself but hope you all have fun on your meet up. ;)

    What is that expression you all use...blowing a hooley?? Well thats what its like here today. Chasing our wheelies round the square, nescafe jar smashed so lots of clearing up by DS. Where's the good weather gone? Its boiling one second and then freezing the next.
    What are my plants supposed to think?

    Must soak my morning glory tonight. I adore climbers, the more the better. Cannot find time for knitting just now. That waistcoat will have to wait while all the seed pricking out has been done. It looks like a garden centre in my house at tge moment!

    Hi cheerfulness- did try to PM you but not in luck! We would love to see you here if you can make it especially as you started the whole thread going. Any chance? Vhalla/Viv is coming if that helps? xx
