Mrs Frugal Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I like the feather idea as Ollie collected all Clarry's tail feathers when she moulted and they're in a jug in the utility!! I could come as a squaw as we've got that many ! I'll struggle to find anything green in my wardrobe if I have to match my Eglu! I can match Lesley's new one easily !

The Dogmother Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm glad that they'll be there - I thought that Johannes was still snowboarding. The feather is a good thing, although I'm not sure if I have any left from the last moult as Rosie took them into school - maybe I will have to pull their tails My Omlet t shirt is pink, so doesn't match my Eglu at all (but it will match the new rablu when I get it ) and is far too cold to wear in this weather, so I will just wear what I normally wear, with a badge - have printed the stickers already (Phil says that it sounds like speed-dating!) - and will try to find some feathers in the Eglu. I can't wait now and am getting really excited *bounces up and down* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight away when you get back I am going to wait now before I order my next Eglu so please find out when it will be for sale and what colours , purple would be good It will be very quiet on the forum on Saturday How many of you lucky people are going to Kew?

Guest Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm quite happy to stand in the car park and look at a new-style eglu. I'm sure we'd have loads of comments - is Johannes prepared for that He knows how much we like to talk Not so sure about wearing a feather - what is the general concensus? If Omlet wanted to supply us all with Omlet fleeces to help with advertising, I'd be happy to assist! Otherwise it may just be a sticky label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry you won't be there Ali Hopefully there'll be a get-together nearer you soon. Is there a total expected number KateA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I shall be around Ali, after working out that it will be a 9 hour round trip i think it is too far to go in one day, and we need to be back on Sunday morning........So I will just have to wait until there is another meeting closer to me.........

ali-s Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I would need to take 3 days off. It takes me 10 hours to drive to my parents in Nottingham so probably another couple of hours at least to get to London and then I will have to drive back.......all up hill Please let the next one be in the centre of the UK not just the centre of England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I did a count up Ginette a few minutes ago, after I couldn't remember for Johannes, and I think it was 28 of us without the Omlet guys. But there are still a few people who've not got back to me, generally some of the Londoners or near who are possibly waiting to see about weather or other committments first.

ali-s Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Actually going to London would scare me, I have turned into a country bumpkin Are the streets really paved in gold Edited January 10, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Actually going to London would scare me, I have turned into a country bumpkin That's funny Ali! I just said the same thing in a PM to Nicola! I hate London, tube trains and crowds so will be a bag of nerves and in need of a cuppa by the time I get to Kew !

Lesley Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 .....and me - we're country bumpkins as well . ......and I'm not wearing pink and green for anyone!! We will be wearing badges though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 .... I hate London, tube trains and crowds so will be a bag of nerves and in need of a cuppa by the time I get to Kew ! I'll look after you, Kate! I love London, crowds, tubes and all, I'm like a small child going on an adventure! Plus, obviously I'll join you in a cuppa! Hey, Northern peeps, please don't feel left out, I'm sure we'll have loads of meetings, in many various locations It feels like planning a party but not everyone can come. In the end, you don't cancel, you just have to go ahead. Of course we'll miss our absent friends (I'll raise a teacup to you! ) and would love to catch up with you on another occasion.

Cate in NZ Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 OK, the grief I've had with finding photo's. Had a mini photo session last night but the pics came out terribly, not enough flash and a very odd orange hue to everything. So this is the best I could do, from this Christmas, before I donned the paper hat Not sure that it'll actually help any of you recognise me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks Sheila! Knew you'd look out for me . Kate, if you arrive in black and white, I'll recognise you anywhere ! Off for a lie down! Too much cider ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I think I prefer the black and white option to the orange and green one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Off for a lie down! Too much cider ! Dutch courage, eh? Tut, tut, whatever is she like? Kate A..surely an orange tinge would be most apt! Good idea that we know who to look for now, hadn't thought of that! Hey, forget Kew Gardens; just an Eglu in a car park will do me. My boss phoned this eve re week's plans. "Sorry I won't be in at all Saturday" I said. "That's alright, I understand, I know you've got your chicken convention to go to " he said. Thanks, boss!

Lesley-Jean Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'll be in Birmingham too. My youngest son and his girl friend have just bought their first house there and it will be our first visit to them in their own home. They are very excited. PS not by our visit but by their new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 P PS I hope you all have a good time at Kew and the weather is kind to you. I went there last July and took about a milion pictures of trees. Next to chickens I love trees I'm looking forward to your pictures and want to know what you think of the glass sculptures, if they are still on exhibition Have a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
