(Or perhaps he's your Philip). Anyway, it's nice to finally come over and read you. I'll pop by again.<br /><br />PS I have a half-formed idea about your year of lyrical letter-writing and what that actually signifies in real life, but the idea won't crawl out of my brain, so it must not be earth-shattering.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586581766383380976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-61503874651891530732010-12-15T12:40:52.168+00:002010-12-15T12:40:52.168+00:00Hi Sharon, I came here via Baglady but I should ha...Hi Sharon, I came here via Baglady but I should have been reading you before now. Why are there so many good blogs out there? It makes it so hard to keep up. <br /><br />I was supposed to come along too (even though I'm not really a proper writer like you all are ) but had double booked. I was really disappointed but reading about what a great time you all had I am now kind of relieved - it would have been awful if I'd come along and been the awkward fly in the ointment! Glad you all had a great time together :)Penny Dreadful Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658769790784076024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-3961016389850132042010-12-15T11:58:26.821+00:002010-12-15T11:58:26.821+00:00Dani - if you can write about it, then it must be ...Dani - if you can write about it, then it must be part of you - so when the time comes for you to meet some other bloggers, jump at it!<br /><br />OWO - you know how much we're all looking forward to seeing you in the spring - there won't be any couply nonsense - just a lovely time.<br /><br />Sensible Footwear - thank you.<br /><br />Jennifer - thank you for reading and leaving such a nice comment.

I, too, often have moments of worry where I have either convinced myself not to attend an otherwise wonderful event, or have gotten dangerously close to it. <br /><br />By the way, I was directed here by way of Mr. London Street. His writing is definitely something to be admired in my opinion. Your blog seems really interesting.

My track record of befriending bloggers when I meet them in person is a bit patchy, but I just knew that things would be different this time. It was an absolutely lovely day and my only regret is that it didn't last longer, but then that just means that hopefully we will all want there to be a next time nice and soon.<br /><br />I completely understand the insecurities you had in the run-up to the day, better than you might think, and I'm so pleased you overcame them. I couldn't even begin to pick out my favourite moment from the day (though the scatological polpette might be the leading contender) but what you've written here has prompted lots of big smiles of recognition from me.Mr London Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141191628680903646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-54133033885649353862010-12-12T22:13:13.147+00:002010-12-12T22:13:13.147+00:00Dear Sharon, I can empathise entirely with what yo...Dear Sharon, I can empathise entirely with what you write here.
