Back from a lovely weekend in London to meet Deb and Carrie, and Alison and Mel. Such a strange mix of familiar and unfamiliar – known lives in previously unheard voices; conversations using real names rather than blog pseudonyms; chat in real time on several topics.
I met up with Deb, Carrie and Alison for breakfast at the hotel and then a wander around Covent Garden market as it awoke. Plenty of chat and touch and laughter and of course photos of everything, including some up and downs. So refreshing to be around other scrappers when whipping out the camera to take photos of everything.
Then the number 9 bus to Kensington for lunch with 7 more scrapping bloggers. Again plenty of camera action amongst the chatter and laughter.
Indeed the novelty of all the photo taking inspired my first layout of the weekend.
the bottom right photo is Ruth doing the series of photos of each of us with Deb and Carrie – and here is mine
We did take a group photo in the restaurant – but took pity on the helpful waiter and agreed to share the image rather than pass him 11 cameras.
So lovely to meet blogfriends who have been part of my life since Shimelle’s blogging class in 2009.
