Well it was a terrific couple of days Much talking, laughing, eating and drinking

Ossie was a surprise but extremely welcome late addition to our merry band so there was eight of us , the skype attemts hilariou if not entirely successful - we could see Di and Ton but they couldnt see us - and we passed the laptop round so we could all say "Hi" Gal Ria couldnt get you We had a terrific afternoon then Aggers got his taxi, then Roseangel left to get her train leaving the overnighters to drink and chat

I slept like a top and awoke fresh as a daisy but can't say the same for all concerned After a noooge brekkie Debih got her train and Ria Frank Paddy and I had a lovely stroll round Brum in the sunshine Then we sat outside Ask Italian with a soft drink and nibbles, Frank went to get his coach Ria and I went to collect our bags and then off for our trains leaving Paddy to wander to the shops and musem until her flight

What a lovely time I had - this is definitely going to be an annual event at the same time same place Hopefully a few more of us will be able to make it next time

Home at last!

I managed to escape by saying I was going for a p........... then kept on running.

It was a truly fantastic time, just as last year. There were times when it was impossible to stop laughing, which is what it is all about. At one point I had four, or was it five, beautiful women in my bedroom...... ahhhhhh!

Roll on next year.

We had a lovely time and I'm looking forward to seeing the photos. I'm so glad I went and met all you lovely people for real. My little adventure has turned into a slightly bigger adventure but I'll post separately about that!

[meriad]

It was huge fun and definitely up for the next one

[Kaz]

Frank, you old devil

Yep huge fun

[Aggers]

I'm certainly hoping I will be able to make it for next year.

It was only half a day for me, but at my age I couldn't cope with a bedroom full of charming women.

Seriously - I think it was a wonderful experience meeting you all.
