Festival of Romance

Am home, am cream crackered. Great to see Jo Myles and Stevie Carroll who it's always great to meet up with, and wonderful to put faces to internet pals (like Lynne Connelly and Kate Allen). Stole lots of ideas to use for planning next UK Meet.

Will do proper write up tomorrow, once I have a brain back.

PS - France couldn't quite do it, but Thierry Dusautoir was magnificent. If he and Morgan Parra would like to come round for a consoling cuddle I'll be available.

I wondered if you got home in time to see the match. France was better than I thought they would be.

:D it's great to hear that you had a good time.

I saw some of it - had Talksport on with John Taylor doing the commentary (one of my rugby heroes).

It was spiffing. Lots of ideas for our 'do'.

I've been thinking about UK Meet 2012 quite a lot. Anything you need help with you know where I am. :D

Ooh, could you e-mail me with any feedback/ideas/whatever you have? Will talk more off-LJ.

Yay - can't wait to hear, as and when you're recovered :)

Will blog about it tomorrow. Wish you'd been there!

Am also knackered and thinking about writing my post about it tomorrow - assuming I find any time to!

It was lovely to see you, Stevie and Lucy Felthouse again :D

It was altogether a spiffing - if exhausting - event. Roll on the next one!

It was a lot of fun. Must write up the second day tonight, before I fall asleep.

I've already had to have a kip on the settee or I'd have been fit for nothing.

What's the French for "we wuz robbed"?! Partner and I watched the whole match and were gutted that they lost. They played so well and it would have been such a turn up for the books if they'd won.

Morgan Parra would like to come round for a consoling cuddle I'll be available.
Get in line! Did you see him wrapped up in his blanket on the bench looking for all the world like he was trying not to cry?! Bless.

Good to hear your meet up went well!

Poor Morgan. I felt so maternal towards him.

And in re the "get in line", I spotted him when he was 19 and have been nurturing the passion ever since. :)

Why am I not surprised that [livejournal.com profile] charliecochrane has been eyeing up 19 year old French boys?! ;P
