WH meet up thread

[MrsJonesAndMe]

Here we go!

Nervous and excited. What should I bring? apart from gin

[Spindelina]

Have fun today! Sorry I can't be there - the trains are having a very "Sunday" Sunday.

[Iwantacampervan]

I'm getting ready for Sunday - I'm bringing a constructed blanket and squares to save posting. Looking forward to it - I'll try to move round to talk to more this year (and eat cake, drink tea and spend money!)

I was just looking for a thread about this weekend and saw this one, I thought people might have added to the end of it.

After reading Leslie & TQ’s posts from last Year, I’m now sitting here in floods of tears. They were both so fabulous - life is bloody unfair 😢

[cavalier]

I’ve just come across this beautiful section
How kind you all are ❤️💐
I really feel quite choked reading this xxx

[Spindelina]

... and a glass so you don’t even need to drink it out of the bottle

I'm home at last - not a bad trip home apart from a 30 minute traffic jam around Oxford - some lorry had decided to shed its load/break down/ be annoying .
elephant - ah , at least I now know what drop and Iwant look like :) - at least you didn't have to get wet
I had a great time , and I won the raffle- no surprise a big bottle of gin !

[WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo]

I had a lovely time. Thank you Knotty and Pistey for organising it :)

[VittysCardigan]

So sorry i couldn't attend. Sounds like i missed a good day.

[MadisonAvenue]

I’ve just seen the pics on Facebook, you gorgeous lot! So glad that you all had such a great day

It looked like a beautiful venue too!

[Meet0nTheIedge]

Another traffic alert - if anyone is travelling home that way today the western side of the M25 is already gridlocked due to an accident

[TheWoollybacksWife]

I flipping well hope there is a Hugathon2.0! I'm putting my name down now

I had a lovely dinner and ELO were fabulous but there was no wool. There was gin though

[jetSTAR]

Hi to everyone I met today 👋🏼
I hope K & P were pleased with how it went and hope to do it again sometime 🍸

[DropZoneOne]

book yes we did very briefly meet as I was rushing off! I'm terrible with names, so I can just about manage faces to mn names but real life names have now totally gone. elephant your badge was inspired, so clever

[Meet0nTheIedge]

Yes, a lovely day. Really enjoyed the chat on our table (the Kinship hugs one) and what a lovely venue, well done K&P!

[WhenDoISleep]

Lovely to meet lot's of people today.

Big thanks to K & P for organising a fantastic day!

[elephantoverthehill]

Um that would be the right actually Book, IwantaCampervan was to the left. One day I will know the difference between left and right.

[elephantoverthehill]

Book , Drop was to the left of me on our table.

[bookbook]

elephant - so you didn't swim! -
oh no Drop - I was trying hard to go around and see everyone, but all the names got too much for me - which table were you on ( I just started getting up and forcing myself on people! )

[elephantoverthehill]

on with the square that didn't get finished That's exactly what I am doing Book. It was lovely to meet you and no the hovercraft still wasn't running so I walked to the hovercraft port and had to get a bus back to the FastCast.

[DropZoneOne]

Fabulous day, lovely to meet some of you. I arrived a bit late (uni parking was closed!) and most people were sat down with yarn by that point. Next time I'll be more organised, and that will hopefully give me a chance to meet more people - or I'll just swop tables half way through like some weird woolly speed-date.

No idea what to create with my free yarn so if anyone wants an extra ball let me know and I'll post it on.

[Spindelina]

We still made our connection so it turned out ok - not so sure about the coach me reversed into . Back home very soon.

Lovely weekend! Great venue, so much wool, and lovely to meet some of you.

[Iwantacampervan]

A fantastic day - thank you K&P for organising it and lovely to meet lots of new people (even though we didn't use our MN names!).

[bookbook]

x post MrsJ - - I didn't do anything much at all but chat to folk! ( I don't find that very hard )

[bookbook]

Fabulous day! Lovely to meet so many WHuggers.
Safe journey home everyone , and Spin - hope you are not too delayed.
We do not set off home until tomorrow, so feet up, and on with the square that didn't get finished

[MrsJonesAndMe]

Safely home and caught up with real life. Was lovely to put a few names to faces.

Amazing to see other people's handiwork, way of working etc

Hope everyone got home OK - spin especially, that's really not a good start to the homewards journey!

Special thanks to book for holding my hand (figuratively) and to K&P for all the organising that goes on behind the scenes.
