Yes, it really was a lovely experience, and my wife and I really enjoyed it. I was surprise how young and beautiful Ally looked. She really is a lovely person.
My wife was pleased with the bouquet of flowers from Alli, and they look lovely in our apartment.
That sounds really lovely - I have met quite a lot of cyber friends, but not for some time now, and I would definitely try to make a VV meet next year. Paddy - don't forget that some of your cyber friends live on the same island as you do
