Very, very exciting, k-j! I am very much looking forward to this weekend...
I'll post details of when, what, where, as it comes closer.

Everyone is welcome. Please let me know if you are thinking of coming, if you have not already done so.

Warmly,
Suzanne

Well that's my birthday weekend, and both children are in London now, so I suppose it's not impossible, but it is quite a long way away. I'll see. I'm tempted.

David,

This is more good news! I hope the temptation grows stronger as the day comes nearer.
We will be happy to sing you Happy Birthday! Maybe Marc will even accompany us.... Lol.

Me, in London to meet you and you and you, Poets.
Oh, who'd ever imagine it? Not me.

Mmmmmm.

I'm what is commonly known as border-line autistic; I struggle with a variety of social situations, yet some I breeze through.

I would actually very much enjoy meeting some of my oldest virtual pals. (especially you Nash, miserable twat) Although I may have to be slightly drunk, it helps, believe me.

That said, I try to make a couple of trips to Londinium each year, my next is in December, so it very much depends on finances...

Ya'll have made me laugh, spit, cry and have inspired me no-end, I would enjoy having the chance to not like you all as much in person!

Cheers
Kris
Nash

Hah, you know me so well, Kris. Or should that be Mr. Pot?

Love,
The Kettle.

It's you!

I have admired you, stranger. lol. And now from two perspectives!

Nash, you could change your mind, a new way of seeing things and all.. lol. Well, of course, I will try...
We all have our fingers crossed, John.

It's wonderful you are really coming k-j. A corner of a pub on Friday night... IN LONDON! Says the American in the quaint little town of Helsinki.

We will buy tickets for the Eye in advance so we will simply ignore bad weather, should it arrive. I mean, surely, it will be Feb. Sunny and warm so far south, right?

If Nash comes, the sun will probably come out... Nash??

Yep. I'm still on. Need to find a place to stay though. Can't decide whether to rent a hole on airbnb or impose on a friend.

You must come, and so must Nic and Cam.

I have now booked accommodation, so all is set. The only thing that could derail it is a big volcano in Iceland.
