Yesterday I went up to London to meet up with Liz, Moira and Jo. Liz had invited me but failed to mention it was their Kinky Bee meet up. I am afraid that I gatecrashed it (actually I'm not sorry at all as it was a great day). I got to catch up with Amy and meet new people too. We all met up at the cafe in Liberty's.

After cups of tea and coffee, fabric stroking, shopping and chatting to Pennie and Annie (whose shop it is) we went back down the hill for pizza. I travelled back to King's Cross with Moira and then caught the train home.
Thank you to the Kinky bees for having me and if anyone else wants me to gatecrash their get together just holler!
Amazingly, my younger son had no idea that I had been to London - I think that he lives in a parallel world!

That looks like such fun, I bet it was great to see/meet everyone in person.
ReplyDeleteYeah - you are a bit of a nomad!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun gatecrasher you would be too! There are always Bee Blessed Saturdays that could be gatecrashed you know (just saying so you can log for future) and I know a homely little B&B you can use for the price of a few giggles! BTW I love how pretty you look in your yellow dress!!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun!! How much Liberty fabric did you bring home?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous day. I was in London as well yesterday. Funny how your son didn't even realise that you had gone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand day out xxx
ReplyDeleteFrom what I hear it was a good thing I didn't go to the VH with you guys as lots of money was spent!!! It was so nice to catch up with you guys and meet some Flickr people in the flesh :)
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you Di! You should be an honorary member of every bee! XXX
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely day out...when do we get to see what you bought?!
ReplyDeleteooooo it sounds like there have been several fun bloggy days out this weekend, I am enjoying reading about them - yours sounds great fun x
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I could have gatecrashed too!! Sounds like you had lots of fun :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like loads of fun, but you really will get a terrible reputation for gatecrashing! ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see you, Di, and meet the Kinky girls. And you're welcome to gatecrashing the LMQG any time :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a brilliant day out!
ReplyDeleteAll the ingredients of a perfect day - jealous!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are certainly getting around the bees!! Whose is it next week! LOL! Jxo
ReplyDeleteOh how fabulous! I met up with another Aussie quilter on Sunday who'd come across to tassie for a holiday, it's so great to meet online friends in real life!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun.x
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have come too! I will be at the Retreat with whistles & bells, trust me x
ReplyDeleteGreat day out! Glad you had such a good time, and Annie's shop looks lush.
ReplyDeleteHey cheeky! watch it, you'll get me in trouble!! :0P
ReplyDeleteMe and you are a bit like Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson in the Wedding Crashers, only with sewing bee meets ;0)
So glad that you came along.
It was such a fantastic day.
