coffee morning one

Coffee morning was a great success, though my photography doesn't really do it justice. Since I took bad photos and failed to even photograph most of the people who turned up. Sorry.

I was very prepared for no-one to turn up, that would have been fine, I'd have done some email and written a presentation, I was very worried about 30 people arriving, that seemed unlikely but would have been startling. As it was numbers were just right.

No-one at all until 11.20 when Will arrived with a very nice Canadian chap who's name escapes me (very sorry, isn't that bad of me?). He reminded me how much I like Canadians (a lot) and that it's Canada Day tomorrow (Must do some kind of celebratory post). So we chatted for a while and I probably patronised them like crazy which is what I do to anyone under 39.

Then, just as they were leaving, David, Tony and Jon all arrived. More pleasant chat ensued. Picklin Paul briefly showed his face and brought me some free piccalilli which frankly has justified my entire three years of blogging all on its own. (Currently enjoying the piccalill in front of Germany v Argentina. Delicious). Definitely come back next week Paul.

Then Patrick and Carol arrived. More pleasant chat. Then everyone went off about their business. Brilliant. (I've not missed anyone have I?)

Next week, same bat time, same bat channel. All are welcome. No agenda. Just pleasant chat.

Russell, It was great to meet you and sorry for the short cameo appearance. I promise I'll stay and chat more next time (I hope I wasn't rude rushing off.)

I'm glad you liked the Piccalilli. Did you take the jacket potato option for Germany v Argentina? And are pickles a good accompaniment to penalties?

I look forward to this week's coffee morning.
