No one else will be up yet, let alone have access to the internet, so let me be the first person to thank Englishman and her Ladyship for being WONDERFUL hosts, at what was the event of the year.
I met so many brilliant people and had a fantastic time. Englishman has a lovely family, and shame on him for tempting an old lady like me with such handsome young sons.
Crumpet is a charming, beautiful, lady, who just needs a mum to love her like she deserves to be loved. I applied for position as big sister, and ive got my fingers crossed, I think im a pretty strong candidate. Will let you know if I get accepted.
Of course im not going to spill the gossip, because im having a rare discreet moment, but BOY was there some gossip to spill!!! The only thing I am willing to reveal is that Englishman can ignore the telephone message I left him at 4pm Saturday afternoon, but YES I did go to the wrong house, and YES I did leave three bags of groceries and drink in someone elses back garden, and YES I did have to go back later and collect it when I finally realised where Englishmans house was.
Thank you so much to everyone who entertained me, and humoured me, and put up with me, and got bored of listening to me, and still smiled and made it such a fantastic day.
And thank you to the person who gave me the 'trench back and sides' joke. I promise to pay royalties if I ever use it on the Working Mens Club circuit. Big sigh.
