Popcorn Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 It was lovely to see you all at the herb centre today. I just wanted to say a belated goodbye and apologise for our quick exit as we had a very tired, restless little boy on our hands and he was getting a bit upset. I'm sorry I didn't get round to speaking to everybody (Annie!) but I hope you all have a lovely evening. Trish - I hope you had some company in your field Andrew - you were fab. Really got the party started Johannes....yellow is definatly your colour! I'll look forward to the photo's and hearing all about the rest of the evening. Lots of xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Gina! I didn't see you! What was I doing? (don't answer ). It was a lovely afternoon and evening and the rain didn't spoil a thing: Just perfect British weather really! Actually, there were loads of people I never got to speak to properly..... Kate, Kannie, Paola, Claret.... hey, we need a whole week! Andrew: Loved the shoes Dan: Enjoy today.... No doubt we'll hear all about it! Buff: You did a wonderful job, and Juliette and Rosie were such fabulous assistants! Hanns.... the equity card is in the post... Anyway, thanks to the Omlet team and everybody for making it a great evening.... we must do it again...soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Lovely to see you Gina, Stefan and everyone. Wasn't it great and Jane, plus sister Ann, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm the mouth of the charity...did you guess . Hanns, well apart from terrifying Daisie with the chicken suit (she thought the chooks had come for revenge) nice moves and great sport!! Got some good pics and nice video. Andrew is probably still out clubbing (ah the young) so expect a sore headed Molly later Wasn't Andrew a dish and fabby BBx Oh and Annie, sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Well what an evening! Didn't get to say hi to nearly as many people as hoped but was lovely meet those that I did see. Sadly I fell asleep in the car so no night of clubbing for me! (not so young you see Buff!) Thanks for your praise for the evening and I'm so glad you all enjoyed it - I was VERY nervous as it's so hard to sing in front of people you know but I would like to put a special thank you out to my glamourous backing dancer The Funky Chicken, my backing troupe Dan, and of course, Ollie who managed at one point to run off with the feather boa! (he did ask first kate, a good boy really!) Glad we all had a good time but did anyone else notice how time flew by?? Anita had a great time and says thanks for the raffle prizes she loves them but is wondering about the waiters asking everyone if they fancied some sausage The staff at the Herb Centre were all very helpful, even getting me some trolley's to save carting all my stuff by hand! Now this is rapidly turning into an oscar speech...I'm going! Thanks again all and see you all at the next one! A xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 You were fab Hon, and really helped to make the evening the fantastic event that it was!

Muppet81 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sounds great! Maybe next year the West Yorkshire contingent could make it down there. Really pleased that you all had a good time Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 It sounds like a good time was had by all And not too many reports of sore heads etc Lets hope that the Omlet team enjoyed it too, so much so infact that they feel compelled to make it an annual event.... in which case I shall certainly try my hardest to get there next time.

Mrs Frugal Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 An overjoyed Dan! Yes, they are LADIES pants he's wearing on his head ! The fabulous Andrew entertaining us. Not even the rain could spoil the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Wasn't Andrew a dish and fabby Ooooo I do agree Buffie Andrew you were amazing. Give up your day job! Had a really fab time. Shame I had to leave early (little man not happy being out past his bed time Will make sure he stays with OH next time ). Well done Buffie for arranging the raffle. How much did it raise?

Trish Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Gina I was fine, as it turned out there was some one else sleeping in their car so I had company after all. My tent is waterproof as well which was good as it rained very hard during the night. It was lovely to see you all and well worth the journey for such a great party.

kannie Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I agree it was a lovely evening! I found it much easier to talk with people than the last do because there was a good chance to mingle before the food was served, and then sharing tables was an opportunity to chat too. Easier than sitting in a circle with individual picnics! The food was really good, and loads of it. I was amazed by Andrew: I'd picked up something about a performance on some thread or other, but thought it was a 'wearing the big pants' type tease - I was not expecting a whole act - let alone such a professional one! Andrew you were fantastic! Great voice, you looked really good and confident: top marks! I loved the pink shoes, and did wonder if you were going to get progressively more pink as the act went on!!! My only regret is not to have spoken to more people, including AnnieP, Wendy and Richard (who we shared the Urban Chickens experience with) and AuntieE, a fellow Londoner. I should have printed out a list of who was coming to start with and then I could have searched people out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you made it back home in one piece Trish, and bone dry too! A tent sounds like luxury compared to sleeping in a car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Was aunty e there then Kannie????? I was trying to remember who was on the list so that I would go and find them, but I don't remember seeing anyone wearing an 'aunty e badge' Honestly, we would need a few days to talk to everyone I felt bad for missing some poeple out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Oh Clare, I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling bad tonight. I think with all the sleep deprivation I've had, my memory and brain has all but disappeared completley, and I just couldn't remember who was who on Saturday. I felt particulary bad as so many people asked how Stefan was, and I was finding it so difficult to keep up, I think I might have looked a bit of a bumbling fool out of embarrassment ( I do get quite shy too believe it or not) I'm especially sorry for not recognising Jackie (purplehen) and hope she can forgive me for being so vague (I've PM'd you Jackie!) Was good to get a big squeeze from you though Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
