snuffle groan - am actually feeling better (well, physically at least, won't even begin to start on the work situation ...

)

Here here!! And a day when we're all in good health too. Achoo!

blackcat · « **Reply #186 on:** March 11, 2008, 19:44:06 PM »

dang, and i thought the RSPB's site at Rainham Marshes was that!!! Sound like a day I would enjoy, don't know about others. Do they have a centre there that does food? (my other priority for entertainment, lol)

How about the London Wetland Centre at Barnes? Easier to get to than it sounds and a brilliant day out

Is that a place that requires swimsuits, or one where wildlife hangs out? If the former, you can firmly count me out!!!

It is reportedly the best urban site in Europe to watch wildlife: http://www.wwt.org.uk/centre/119/visit/wetlandcentre/.html and I am a member so can arrange group rates

Defo no swimsuits here either

The more the merrier

Hopefully the next one will be when its much warmer, and the day much longer, so can take it more sight, maybe even a gallery, go for a mooch around Covent Garden, loads of possibilities

Sounds like you all had a good time - I couldn't make that date but would love to join you when you next meet up.

It might have looked it in the photos but it was wet. And cold. Ergo our escapade in Garfunkles to get out of the cold

Hey Jo, that's usually my line!

Actually, it was brilliant fun, I thoroughly enjoyed the day - was great to spend lots of time talking cat with a bunch of like-minded folks. Was soo good to meet you all, some for the first time, some once again after the National.

Thanks for making the bus journeys enjoyable Ruth, hope you feel better soon and please give Princess Lexy a chin tickle from me.

I think we must have eaten and drunk all the healthyfood in Garfunkels...

Hope I managed to purrsuade some of you to come to Cam Cat in Stevenage on the 29th.

LeighK · « **Reply #172 on:** March 08, 2008, 21:31:54 PM »

Hi folks,

I really enjoyed meeting you all earlier and had a fun time chatting with you all. It could have been a bit warmer but what the heck it's England and it's March so what can one expect? the conversation was warming

.

"Petunia"! (Clark)

, wish I had her money and her voice for that matter, no one's ever called me that, well in the week that is but I supose it is the weekend

, oh you mean the flower!

Great pics, we shall definitely have to do that again before too long.

Thought I should introiduce myself as I was ~~in cogneot~~ ~~5n cogneto~~ ~~incornetto~~ disguised

All the best

Leigh

PS. Just got a spam e-mail inviting me to "Become more elegant" these pics posted on the internet get everywhere don't they?!,

cheek! that was my best "man about town" look!, oh well back to the drawing board.

Fab fotos we look cool

clarenmax · « **Reply #167 on:** March 08, 2008, 19:24:46 PM »

Hope you're feeling a bit better now Ruth, you didn't have much voice left by the time we all said our goodbyes !

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #166 on:** March 08, 2008, 18:47:47 PM »

Evening all.

I had a bit of a snooze when I got home, my chest was pretty awful, as poor Witty could see, and it had nothing to do with chatting away for hours!!

I had such a fun time meeting all you, so bring on the next one!!!

Another photo, in front of the London Eye, since Jo took the ones with me in them, I took one with her! (you thought you could get out of that! Ha!) And you shall pay for the photo of us eating.. didn't even see you take that!

L-R: Clare, Sharon (back), Lucy (back), Witty (front), Tessa, Jo and Leigh.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #165 on:** March 08, 2008, 18:46:59 PM »

Glad everyone had a good time.. Nice to met everybody and good turn out as well

Got home around 5.30ish.. Now off for a cuppa!

blackcat · « **Reply #164 on:** March 08, 2008, 18:05:16 PM »

see if this works - not sure if the font size is large enough ... nope, not big enough - back soon with another version ...

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #163 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:58:52 PM »

Glad you all had a great time

Who is who? Can you do a L to R on the second London Eye pic perhaps?

maryas · « **Reply #162 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:56:42 PM »

Pity it was so cold BUT here in Yorkshire it's also been raining and very windy all day too.

Glad you all had a brill time - was going to ask if it was Leigh in the cat suit BUT then I saw him in the other photos!!

Mary

lucy · « **Reply #161 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:37:41 PM »

I really enjoyed meeting up and chatting! Nice to see there are real people behind the computer screen.

Hope you all had OK trips home. I can't believe the pics were up before I got back!

clarenmax · « **Reply #159 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:31:26 PM »

Well done Jo, great piccies

I just knew I was going to regret that one when we were eating

blackcat · « **Reply #158 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:29:25 PM »

Hello all, we had a lovely (if chilly) day in London, taking in all the sights and having a good old natter. It was soooooo good to meet some of you and to have chance to put faces to avatars and to get to know you as people rather than as entities at the other end of the computer screen!!! We even had a small supporter who got dressed up especially for the occasion!

we arrived at Waterloo and managed to find each other easily and then off to the London Eye, where we paused for a photoshoot

and another one with less of the Eye and more of Witty

and so on to Eat at Festival Hall, where we had to take an outside table as it was so crowded. Here we all made complete fools of ourselves

before crossing the river to Trafalgar Square where we found somewhere a little warmer to sit and enjoy some particularly ravishing desserts. But not before another photo opportunity

all in all a great day out in beautiful frozen London!

clarenmax · « **Reply #157 on:** March 08, 2008, 17:17:42 PM »

Hellooooo, just got back

Had a really good time today, lovely to meet everyone new, and to see Leigh and Witty again

Jo took a few photos earlier, so hopefully they'll end up on here later

Hope everyone has a safe journey home
xx

maryas · « **Reply #156 on:** March 08, 2008, 12:02:17 PM »

Hope you all have a PUUUURRRFECT time. Wish I was there too. Not been to London for about 20 yrs and only been twice in my life! Too busy going to Italy.

Mary

clarenmax · « **Reply #155 on:** March 08, 2008, 10:17:30 AM »

Sorry to hear you're not going to make it Lyn-Su, rest up today and hope you feel much better soon xx

blackcat · « **Reply #154 on:** March 08, 2008, 09:54:52 AM »

just heading out the door (much to Shadow's disgust) - see you all soon!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #153 on:** March 08, 2008, 09:46:09 AM »

That's a pity Lyn-Su, maybe another time. Hopefully others will see this, but if not, I'll let them know when we get there.

Hope you feel better

Lyn-Su · « **Reply #152 on:** March 08, 2008, 09:45:21 AM »

Sorry Guys I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm having a bad chronic fatigue day and I really need to rest today.

I don't have anyones mobile number to let them know I'm not coming so I'm hoping someone might see this.

Sorry again
