wish you were here too

I went to Kew today
with Kristina and Tracy
and we had a lovely day
walking in the sunshine.

We talked about all our friends:
Ali, Monica, Val, Gina
Emma, Driftwood,Diana,
Coffee Lady, Helen, Jackie,
Cathy, Lucille, Amaranthine,
Pomona, Trash, Rachel and Sue;

we thought of Nancy in France
getting ready for her wedding

and we remembered friends far away
Mary, Tracey, fifi, Suse,
RW, Lynn, Eleanor,
bb, Paola, Scot, Christy
Zephyr, Kathe, Bobby, Ginnie,
Ellen, Readersguide and Baa-Me knits

Aaaarrrghh...why did nobody mention
that I had missed JEN off the list???

and all you lovely people
who leave comments without email addresses
Toffeeapple, Janine, Jane Gray,
Lilli, Amy, Laura,
Melanie, Iris, Ruth,
planetcoops and Hairy Puffball

and we wished you could all be with us
(except Nancy who needs to be in France)

*****

Please forgive me
if I have missed your name
you were with us too!

I plan to put links to all of your blogs
but I have run out of time tonight.

    Just the thought! What a treasure trove of blogs I have been led to through the comments and links on your blog Alice. I have had so much fun and I do believe am saving money and eventually trees buying less magazines, who needs them? Driftwood left me birthday wishes!! And so did your Mother (Hi Alice's Mother) no magazine does that, tho the dentist does. I would so love to meet everyone.

    I hope there were a lot of ears burning!

    So lovely to see you - it had been Far Too Long.

    Kew (if one looks past those concerned about the botanical aspects only) is one of the loveliest places to meander.

    Always a joy to be discussed, thanks for including me.

    It sounds like the perfect way to spend a day. I really wish I'd been there too - it looks as beautiful as ever. A full day of decluttering has left me rather cabin crazy.

    Oh, how kind, thank you so much for including me, I feel very honoured!
    I've no idea why you can't see my e-mail address, it is firmly set on my profile.

    It has been almost 45 years since I was last at Kew. I wonder how much it has changed?

    What a kind thought you had to remind of us all in such a gorgeous environment. You're a gem.

    MrM: you have a spot in her heart, let us have our 5 seconds and dwell in them while she admires such beauties and thinks of us. You won't mind, will you.
