....and the friends I have made here!

Yesterday I met up with Grace who has been reading and commenting on the blog for a long time. (I hope I won't embarrass her if I say she is as lovely as her name.) We met in the Botanic Gardens (see this post). I carried a copy of the New European newspaper so that she would recognise me! It seemed a fair assumption that she would be a European at heart as she lives in Paris. I didn't have to brush up my French though as, like me, she grew up and studied in Glasgow.

We had a delightfully long lunch at Kember and Jones in Byres Road (an old student haunt for us both) and a coffee sitting outside in the sun in the Botanic Gardens.

Whether here on the blog or in person I do have fun in the company of my blog friends....thank you all so much.

I think it would be a dream come true if we could all meet...a reunion of sorts.

Freda! How absolutely wonderful to meet, at last, an internet friend... I am with Cathy in wishing we could all meet...Cathy and I have had that pleasure...:-) Turns out we live only about 60 minutes apart and have had several lovely Sunday lunches, and shared many book "reports" with each other. All because of YOU, Freda...

It was wonderful. I also met a couple of years ago Vivien from https://wherethejourneytakesme.wordpress.com/about/ who came with her husband to Open Studios. Love that you and Cathy met via the blog Julia!

It was such a pleasure to get to meet up with you on Thursday in my favourite part of Glasgow Freda. I had such a lovely and memorable afternoon. I do hope we can get together again. In the meantime, I will continue reading your lovely blog!

Wonderful that you had the opportunity to meet up with Grace. As one of your "across the pond" people, I, too, would wish for an opportunity to sit down over a nice cup of tea. Fun to hear that some of your other commenters have been able to do just that with each other because of their link to you.

And I have a great friend, met through her blog, after which she encouraged me to get started; have had lots of lovely days out together (including the Botanical Gardens in Basle!!) :)

This is the first blog I turn to each morning and you are a joy to visit. Also very reliable! Even having the courtesy to say you are pushing the pause button which is absolutely fine too. I have met one transatlantic blogger, Frances of City Views Country Dreams and one English one who seems to have stopped blogging now sadly. I hope to meet others and of course you if you should ever chance to come way down south with time to spare.

Thank you Lucille, and the same applies should you come north...
