The Dogmother Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It really is great fun - I'm scared of heights, but was all right so long as I looked out rather than down. You have to get a move on to get onto your pod as it is continuously moving and doesn't stop for you to get on. Rosie was smaller then, so Phil carried her on so she didn't slip.

Mrs Frugal Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 (I've been 'encouraging' Kate to 'encourage' her LSH - OK - I'm a bully ) Poor boy will be white haired by the time we've finished with him!! I've been "encouraging" him since he got home from work.... ...funny but he calls it nagging ! Might get my way though! He's looking more positive!!

Lesley Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Oh good! (We don't nag do we Kate? ) I love the London Eye - I've been on it three times already. They can slow the pod down if you have any disability, as long as they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I don't like high things! Think I'll give the London Eye a miss!! I think I've got too much Lemming blood in me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Me too, if I am able (havent got my 2006 diary yet!) Can you PM me with the details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) Will do Mel, & everyone who's put messages on here. I'm a tiny bit overwhelmed with the response at the minute- it's going to fantastic to get the opportunity to met so many of you, but I'm ever so slightly overloaded right now- will do PM's this evening when I get the chance. And when I've had more info through from Kew, it seems that the info I was given last week, and which is still on the web-site is ever so slightly wrong, and prices are going up on Jan 1st, but they're being ever so slightly vague about it . So watch this space Edited November 29, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 We could always organise our own one Shona Do you think they are organising it sooooo far away because they don't like us, Louise?? Do I smell?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 No Shona it is just where they live I went to Lesleys in the summer because I had a do in London the following week so I could be there and I wish I could go to them all but my work just aren't that accomodating But seriously why don't we have a think and organise one round here there are quite a few Edinburgh Eglus and some others nearby we could get something organised I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Oh, no Shona, don't say that... and of course you don't smell.... ummm... well now you come to mention it... didn't like to say... faint whiff of chicken poo Sorry, that really was a joke- please don't take offense, couldn't resist I picked London, because quite simply, it's easy for me, and I thought it was easy for people to travel to, and also because there are a lot of Eglu-owners down here in the South East.

Guest Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think it's a great idea - apart from little n, I haven't met anyone from the forum, and you're right, there seems to be a fair few of us up here now. Perhaps we should arrange a meeting the same day that the rest of them are meeting waaaay down south! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
