Numbers keep rising and the car packed last night we are ready to go.

Just ordering the pizza for lunch.

The biggest surprise ever ... endless phone calls and one from Bindi

Yippee

Another excellent meeting - cakes were delicious as usual!

Good meeting, very well attended and I would say informative.
Very many thanks to Wendy for organising it, Chris Newman for presenting a fascinating subject.
It was also good to see a representative from Peregrine Livefoods, who was exhibiting some excellent products applicable to the Hobby Chelonian Keepers.
With our resident Metropolitan Wildlife Crime officer also in attendence, the whole afternoon was a very worthwhile experience.

Yes, an excellent meeting, and as expected, very well attended.

Thank you Wendy, for organising a very busy meeting and of course to Chris Newman for taking the time and trouble to present his findings of the farm in Slovenia. I'm wondering if there is a written account of Chris' talk anywhere, as I afraid I missed some of it - hearing must be going in my old age

I could have spent an hour looking at the products from Peregrine foods alone

Definitely worth battling a hangover for, even if my eyes were hanging out of my head by the time I had negotiated the M25 and the M3 traffic on the way home

It was, of course, great to see everyone there, a special mention to Clare who worked like a trooper, was one of the first helpers to get there and one of the last to leave...again

A fantastic meeting Wendy, all your hard work pays off big time.

I agree. Great meeting. Well done Wendy, Clare and all. Nice to meet some Shelled Warriors people too.

And theres nothing quite like Walnut cake for breakfast on a Monday morning.

Funny you should say that about cake for breakfast! Stephen had his share of the leftovers before he went in for AS Mocks

Yup, a trail of cake crumbs from the kitchen to the lounge awaited me when I was dragged up this morning...bad children

and bad mother, should have hidden it better
