...Caroline forgot to mention that. She bought space dust. So there was that wonderful moment when she, Liz and I were sitting together, all with our tongues out, feeling the space dust fizz and pop and crack and explode on our tongues...sorry, there is no photo of this bizarre moment..... you had to be there....
It was the best weekend I have had for a long time. Sitting down to chat and catch up, starting at 6pm Friday night, and finishing at almost 5am Saturday morning..that's almost 12 hours non stop talking, and it was effortless, simply effortless.
We ate a lot, lovely food, talked a lot and slept a bit. The sky was vivid blue, the sun shone, the hotel staff were more wonderful than any I have known (the difference between Gloucester and Cheltenham?) The Cotswold countryside was beautiful and stunning.
Did I mention that we laughed? Can't remember what about (and if i can remember, I'm not telling). Sorry to the blokey who rang to complain about the sexist nature of the weekend. It was just about spending time with people you want to spend time with, and don't often get the chance. Did I manage to shock Liz? If not shock, worry a little anyway... and she didn't make me cry once.
I drove home feeling peaceful. I slept well. I had a good day today. I talked about the weekend in bereavement counselling and smiled and didn't cry. You know, good friends are so good for one's mental health...even if someone did wake up on Sunday morning shouting, 'It's Christmas! Happy Christmas.....'

Excellent Sally :-)
mmmnnnn :-)
I kept on finding odd grains of space dust in my pocket today, and being returned to that happy madness which was Saturday as it fizzed gently away.
Thanks so much...all so lovely.
I didn't make you cry, but I did make you.......
No would I be that cruel?
Missing you!
in my defence your honour....my voice does not function in shout mode until after at least two cups of strong black coffee, so I think 'pathetic little squeaks' about it being christmas would be a more precise description.... ;)
oh - it was so good.......
So I presume we should be meeting up this coming weekend to celebrate New Year then?
yes please Liz! can we? where?
