We’ve just returned from a very mini-blog meet (otherwise entitled “getting together with weirdos from the Internet”). We met up with Tangerinecath and her beautiful little girl again and also got to meet up with Apple (of Babies Everywhere fame) and her other half.
A good time was had by all. Food at the The Observatory (Beefeater) was very good, and we even managed to eat a desert this time (although I still think only five maltesers in a maltesers icecream is a bit of a swizz!). Li’l Bhaji in particular enjoyed the extra attention, slurping his melted icecream very noisily as soon as he realised it raised a laugh.
After the meal we got to retire to the pub garden with a pint. Apple looked on with amusement (or could have been abject horror at what she was letting herself in for – being in the final, uncomfortable stages of pregnancy with her first child) while Cath and I chased after escaping children, snatching conversation in the brief moments we got to stand still.
A great afternoon though, must do it again soon. Only next time, don’t let me be the one to work out the bill – Apple, I’m really sorry – I can’t add up just after a big meal and when I’m all sleepy in the sun – I think I owe your other half about £4. Settle up next time?

We had a great time and I love watching the children play in the beer garden. It is amazing how much fun, they had with a ballon and a sunny garden.
No problem with the bill, your company was so worth the money.
Yes, we’ll have to do it again either very soon with my bump or in a couple months with a little baby :)

We had a lovely time too… sorry I had to dash off but I was on a mercy mission to make sure my broken brother was OK (he was!)
Next time I will make sure I have the whole afternoon and hopefully I’ll be less tired :o)
