Thanks Mo!
ReplyDeletewhat a great picture. Curious George is certainly a beauty!
I am planning to go down to Dublin on the 8th by train (probably the 10.30am train leaving Central) - any other Northerner coming?
I am quite excited about this - let's give Liz a very Irish welcome, shall we :)
And thanks for the plug - Jacob was roaring to come in looking for articles, but he's happy to stay snoozing on my knitting basket...
I am trying to make arrangements to be up in Dublin on the 8th too. Am dying to meet you all!
ReplyDeleteGreat news - I'm definitely on board for the Dublin meet-up.

Me & little Charlie will be doing our best to be in Dublin on Oct 8th. Time to represent!!! ;D
ReplyDeleteI got a message saying it is moved to the Saturday at the usual time of 2-4pm. That would be great to see you and your little man Tanya! Hope you are both well.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Anne-Marie, The dates in this post were provisional but with people working & coming from far afield the Saturday is probably way better.
