@Tai Chi,
Hey Crew
<big stretch>
((Taggggers)) – hello lovely – yes, it has been noted I am off the planet and possibly have a vacuum between the ears - but hey, I will be geltechgal

Hope that you’ve made a full recovery and all is good with you and the cabin boy. How does your garden grow? Do you have green fingers this year? Take care now X
((BEAgle)) – heh, your ears musta been burning – us gals were talking of you – sending you mucho love and hugs and we did a bubbles toast – you were in our thoughts ((D)) x
TCgirl - oh, so pleased you jumped aboard - your tree here is blossoming white all over - it's utterly spectacular - ooooooooh, you would love the shoes, will let you know when they arrive. I know Didge is joining you up in the Great White soon - so I hope you manage to get all the packing and everything done and can't wait to see some pics of the School House. What a huge achievement - you should be so proud of yourselves - fantastic. Take care up there and most importantly, enjoy your creation - you're both amazing at what you've done. (((((TC&MrFixIt))))
Heh Blue – ya can’t pull the wool over my eyes <did yer lose yer thong…. whaaa.....thassa Aussie sandal

> - good to see you too <so said Phineas

> didn’t meet any harpies as I navigated my way thru the Clashing Rocks – but you try getting over the Clifton Bridge without any silver crossing your palm…(talk about fleecing joanna public) PANIC… chuck a s’quid innit and… waves to the barriers, breathes in (itsa thin bridge!) and onwards and upwards! Then having got horribly lost (ask the nice policeman and four other folk

), finally, having parked in completely the wrong car park and with phones to ears, found my sis over the top of a bus, thru a mall with a big tree, ducking and diving and screechy blondes met and laughed til they cried outside Harvey Nicks. What a heap we were! So we took to a Costa, relaxed in some leather sofas with delumpshe lemon cake, hot choc and americano - and nattered, as ya do - for more than a bit!
Then had to find the hotel – ahhhaahhhhhhhha… Charlie ended up down a dead-end thanks to Tim the Tom Tom AGAIN – déjà vu of 3 years ago and had to do an AbFab yomp from the car park (she is so Patsy). I was a little more fortunate and had got the kettle on by the time she arrived. Very nice helpful folk at the hotel who lugged ma stuff as I nearly flaked out!
Had the best weekend – was pretty darn crook yesterday (sick of being sick) so had to zzzzzz for a bit more than a while and forego the celebrations in the Cocktail Bar etc but then jumped in a taxi (big and brave me) and met my sis land the flavour crew later at a fabulous little restaurant and talked (husked) the night away ‘til the early hours – great company, verra interesting folk, energised.
<giggles at the thought of folks wandering down the hills of yonder who were <ahem> a tad worse for wear (poor lost fella who couldnee find his way home) – and for goodness sake, public urinals in the middle of the beautiful square – NO NO, no doors… just… THERE, ya know!

Shocked I tell ya <averts eyes> nasty! That city on a Saturday night is a leeeeetle beeeeeeet scary to say the least – coppers all over the shop and sirens neverending – saw pirates and devils and all sorts of hens! Interesting tho clicking away

Need to go visit there with a big burly and click the night away I reckon – would be fascinating.
Beautiful lights in the city, the churches, the cathedral, STUNNING, as we walked along by the river, super-duper hotel, big sleep and then up and out this morning as we walked along the river stopping at a little café for brunch and watched the world go by. The best of times – we always have.
Looong journey back to the moors <yawn> – the city roads were shut off due to a 10K run being held this morning so took 45 mins just to drive a couple miles around the city – but once on the motorway with a little bit of Buble – home, cuddled kitties and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for hours.
<sigh> missed my sis as soon as we parted – ‘til next time tho – made some more memories. Love her so much.
Finally, CONGRATULATIONS to our every day heroes – massive congrats and support to Caralyn and Emily who took part in the Moon Walk in their bra’s for Breast Cancer last night thru the streets of London. So proud of them.
((Missy)) hope Bball was good this weekend and the boyz are all well and happy. Been thinking of you girlie - love you much x
(((((((Crew)))))))))
Hoping that one and all have had a great weekend and thinking of those near and far - be safe, be well
(((smooches Blue)))love to you and yours xox xx
