When you get the chance to meet !!



The  brilliant opportunity arose for me to meet up with

long time blogger friend/facebook

Paulita and her husband Earl.

 

The short story is that they have sold up in the USA ,

moving to France and they were in England for

two weeks and not far from London.

Paulita's blog is

An Accidental blog.

Please do pop over and read all about her move and much more.

 

A quick hop on the train for both of us.

 

We just had to meet up!!

 

We met in London at Victoria Railway Station

inside Starbucks . Gave hugs and set off..

 

Quite amazing really as we only knew each other from our blogs.

We didn't stop chatting :-)

So wonderful that we hit it off , straight away , like we have met before.

 

 

Here we both are at the

Admiralty  Arch gates on The Mall,

this is on our return to Victoria, having walked

miles , I think Paulita said 7 miles.

What I can tell you that it

We all met at Starbucks (the easiest) at around 11.30  

and then went for coffee, which turned into

lunch ..... and we left our seats (same cafe) at just after 3pm!!!!!

Brigitte, Jennifer and Barbara had to catch up with other things ..

and we rounded our day off with .......

An excellent day with wonderful company ....

we had such a laugh as usual..

THANK YOU to my FAB FRIENDS...

Bloggers meet up .. and wonderful goodies....

Back in September I wrote

about a lovely  lady named Diane

whose blog is called

My life in the Charante.

Diane splits her time between

Fance and the UK, until the

time that her husband can retire,

and the move will be permanant

What a shock and surprise

to find out that we live in the

same English Village.

And we met today!!!

Diane has a  very interesting story, so why not

have a read from the start!!

Look at the wonderful goodies

Diane brought for me..

An assortment of homemade confitures  and a ..........
