2020 BHF NEW YEAR MEET UP

Arh, thanks Lyn. I can remember now it was a Saturday and the street was quiet. Great, as I don't know my way around being able to park near is fab, thank you
 
The same for me I'm sorry to say. The best laid plans of mice and men....................................... :sob:
 
hi folks....what a lovely afternoon we had....was great to see you all again and to meet you kat...grandson james was quite taken by nannys friends and said he would like to come again lol....many thanks to those who contributed to the raffle...a special thanks to eric for providing us with 6 much sought after paintings and well done to those who won one:)the raffle tickets book had 100 strips in it at £1 a strip.. sold the lot so we raised exactly £100 for our forum funds so thanks folks this will help a great deal to keep the forum running...it will be winging its way to our forum funds account in the next couple of days

i know that quite a few photos were taken but we will have to wait until members have uploaded them and posted them on here...oh before i forget many thanks to john knight for the miniature sewing machine and thanks to lady pen for the delightful piece of chances glass...i have found a nice spot for it pen...:)

Forgive me if off topic, but Lynn's grandson James was telling me about his guinea pigs x 2, Vicky's Sister then told me about her guinea pigs x 2 (Ronnie and Reggie, the same names I was going to have for my pugs) and I bought a mug last week with two guinea pigs on it!!! I've always wanted a guinea pig since I had a rabbit as a little girl!
Always admiring them in the pet shop whenever I see them.

Just a coincidence, but kinda spooky in a nice way.
 
Once again I forgot my camera, but I noticed other members shooting away, so eventually we should see lots of pics, I personally enjoyed the meet very much, nice to meet other members. My walls look a bit bare after taking down 6 paintings, will have to start replacing them. Eric
 
hi kat did james tell you his guinea pigs were called rainbow and dasher...he chose the names for them lol...


eric your paintings are wonderful....it was so generous of you to donate so many yesterday...i know mikejee won one.. also pjmburns (janice)..think lady penelope and hubby graham each won one...cant remember now who won the 5th one...own up whoever it was:D:D:D the painting i chose i gave to john knight as he has never won one and it was a subject he really wanted to win and to be honest my landing and stairs are already adorned by your paintings lol...

hopefully we should have a few more photos posted soon

Dont worry John I too have trouble sometimes with photos, I had a lovely garden photo a few months ago for the garden thread and whatever I tried it would not load, said it was too big : unamused: never did post it !

You may be able to email the photo to yourself and the size can be reduced when you receive it back. Then save it at the reduced size to your library. You can then upload at the reduced size.
