Visit to Leyland

[noel]

I'll be there Linda but it may be a bit later than 12. It was 12 wasn't it? how long are you expecting to be there for? It might get 12-30 or possibly a bit later depending on meeting. All being well I'll cut it short and be there 12-12-30.
Gables wasn't it? 8-)

I thought it was the Eagle too, Bill - where we met at New Year, yes?

[William R]

That`s where we are going to go, I`ve looked back through the postings and it seems to be the venue. See you there. Bill.

They're all ignoring you Caroline. When are you back "in town?" By the way my friend is in Vitre now, got a 3 bedroom house for not a lot of rent with a massive garden as well.

I wish I could be there too... Caroline, Let us know the date and we'll try and make it.

[William R]

Caroline, I`ll watch this space to see when you are thinking of making the trip. I have to rely on the kindness of my daughter to provide transport, and as she is a professional child minder, it takes a bit of organising, she`s a very busy lady, believe me. Cheerio, Bill.

I've just returned from the meeting at the Eagle and Child. Meeting people whom I knew in name only was a bit of an adventure for shy little moi, however I plucked up courage and as I walked in the Pub there they were in the corner trying to hide from me, the 2 Lindas(LG and t'Wiganner) Bill and his daughter . We chatted for an hour or so then I had to go back to work leaving the 4 of them about to start eating a sandwich ( one sandwich between 4, you could tell a yorkshire man was buying)[] . The sun was scorching down it didn't seem fair having to go back. A lot of the time was spent trying to avoid being photographed--- I don't like being photographed , I'm not photogenic ( which is a euphanism for "I'm ugly" )
Bill presented LG with a home made wooden egg with initials on it. A very practical man . We spent some time examing fingers he'd injured during his time with a circular saw and discussing his frequent visits to hospital to be patched up . He'll have to pack in this hobby soon, he's running out of fingers. And LG presented the others with token gifts, the other Linda also gave out gifts. I sat in a corner trying to be avoided as I'd come with nothing, except my charm and my brilliance. But I couldn't escape without being presented with a gift from the "Make Dentists Rich League" a bag of Uncle Joe's see their web site at www.uncle-joe.com.
Linda LG is staying until May 9th in this country . I was sorry to leave after such a short time, I would have liked to have heard more stories about Balshaw's and of life in New Zealand, a country I have always wanted to visit , however Tempus Fugit and all that.
It was a pleasure meeting you 3 forum members and your daughter Bill. I look forward to hearing more on the Leyland Forum.

Thanks for the feedback Noel

I wish I could have been there to experience it. However, if there are some photographs of the occasion, I'm sure we could load them onto the forum for all to see.

Now it's Lindas turn for a write up of her day.
