[Babette & Andy]

Diny - thanks for posting them, they're brilliant :nice1 It was wonderful to see all of you again, our friendships had grown so much since our 1st meet that I for one certainly felt like I was meeting up with some old friends. The kids were also really relaxed with eachother. Lucy & Lianne hit it of again from the moment they saw eachother; the boys likewise (Bethany wasn't missed too much . . .), and little Amy had a wonderful time (specially whilst she was digging into her lunch :mrgreen: ).
Through this forum we've gained a wonderful extended family. Look forward to our 'ladies lunch' back at Middlewhich between Christmas & New Year (who'd organising? Me?)

luv
Babette, Andy, Lianne & Amyxxxxx

Ok, so it seems we have become firm friends over these last two meets which is excellent, hopefully these friendships can be carried to the other side of the world. :hopeso
I take it there will be a 3rd meet come the New Year, it would be nice to think that we could do the 3rd one in NZ, but realisticly, especially since we all have house's to sell it will more than likely to be in blighty. :wah So what are we going to do? Do you want to do the 3rd and do you want to keep it around the same location? Diny you are the one who travels the furthest what's your thoughts? Give us a date when Mark can be involved too. Maybe her in doors will have got over her beef with me :laugh :laugh :laugh

Pic's are spot on. :nice1 Hope you all enjoyed this 2nd meet. :hopeso

OK folks - here's some dates that would tie in just fine with us.

Any time in the first half of February so that Mark will be able to come too. As for location, the Salt Cellar was fine, only took about 45 mins to get there and very easy to find. I thought the food was a reasonable price too.

As for the 'ladies lunch'. I have to drop Mark off at Manchester airport on the 28th December at about 12 o'clockish. It would make alot of sense to me to arrange lunch for that day seeing as I'll already be in the area. Of course I'll fit in with what everybody else can do - just need plenty of notice that's all.

Don't worry Kim - I'm sure the 4th meet will be on the other side :nice1 Remember folks, skiing up Ruapehu at the end of June for my birthday !!!
