The meet.

I know I had a lot of fun. I know I laughed a lot. I know it was lovely to put so many smiling faces to names - or, more accurately, to avatars.

I know it was great to see those people I'd met before: Nick, Mrs F, Shipscook, Rubychoo, TKK, Louisa, MJohnson and of course the ultimate international hostess, Meno herself.

But I also know that I so wish that I'd taken more time to overcome the nerves and the noise in the pub to talk to more of the new faces: the warm and funny Faffajane (and her hubby), the very cute and aptly named ChynaDoll, the sweet-smiling Jacobite, the gentlemanly NotBob and the lovely ladylike Jenray.

Perhaps the person who I felt I really met properly for the first time was Mistress Eggbod. Who, I have to say, was utterly fab, incredibly glamourous and fantastically bonkers, in equal and generous measures. Exactly what I'd expected, then :)

Anyway, I hope you all had fun. Until the next time, folks.
