    @Laura_Elsewhere, I'm so sorry to hear about the mixture of hormones and other issues. A couple of my colleagues are going through similar and it's so hard. 

    I really love your idea about an actual meet-up and our really, truly Village Fete, OTHBO (I put WATHBO before I checked and I think we have the makings of an acronym). I am sure we will celebrate with fairy cakes, scones, ginger beer and some of Pip's luscious cut and come again creations... Then we will go for a gentle saunter (no running on a full stomach and I'm sure that's what mine will be) to wear a little of it off. Somewhere in the Midlands, perhaps (if we can find our way between 1939's vanished signposts and 2021's train timetable) so as many as possible can get there.

    I am absolutely up for a ramble, and not just a verbal one. Is there a waiting list and if so please could I be considered?

    I was on this forum years ago and somewhat involved in a project that ended up as a meet-up and I rather regret not going, though I was literally sent 'The Tee Shirt' signed by the others... (would someone like to design a tee shirt for The Ladies of Much Mending? :) )
