......Or In, really. It rained. A lot.
So, what did you do on Saturday? I had the pleasure of spending part of the day in the company of one of my favourite bloggers (and her lovely aunt). And, know what? I'd do it again tomorrow, given the chance. We had such a Very Fine Time.
I've been reading Ruth's Everyday life of a Suburban SAHM since her fabulous photos drew me in many, many months ago. Her cute, train loving, little boy reminded me of The Tall One (before he grew tall and started loving girls, cricket, studying). Now I visit because I enjoy, really enjoy, her photos of everyday life. They are some of the very best 365 pictures I've seen anywhere. Cleverly observed, smartly captioned, right to the point.
So, when Ruth said she was travelling, researching family history, and asked if she could call - I jumped at the chance. She came (with her aunt - if that's the way they make aunts in Ruth's family, we're happy to be adopted). We talked, we laughed, we talked some more. She brought me the most perfect, thoughtful gift (thank you!). She charmed the rest of the family with how much she could remember about them.
And we took photos. Silly, smiley, happy photos because we know this visit was only the first. There will be more. Of course there will. We're all agreed. Definitely.
Shame about the rain - great about the fun you had!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I so love reading about my blog friends meeting up and having a good time together. How lovely that you both hit it off so well - and how even more lovely that Ruth got on so well with your family - and you got on with her Auntie!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely time was had by all and I hope you are right that there will be many more meetings!
Great post, Sian and great photos too.
Sounds like a wonderful day,Sian...and looking at that photo [taken by Ruth's lovely aunt perhaps] I'm wondering if the Small One....actually still is the smallest one!??
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jacky, the Small One needs to be renamed ;-) The youngest one maybe? Sounds like you had a great time, and I love the fact that people are gradually getting to actually meet one another. Maybe it's time for another Skype meeting for those who can't find an excuse to cross the water!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like you had a great time together.
ReplyDeleteHow neat that you got to meet up in person. Sounds like you had a great day.

Sounds like a lovely time was had by all! As long as there aren't too many in a row, I often like rainy days - for card games, chatting, movies, and warm drinks.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to meet another bloggy friend in person! So glad it was a nice visit.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sian, what can I say? It was just perfect and I do hope we can do it again very soon. Auntie is going to cry buckets when I show her what you've said about her.
