New Friends

One of the joys of blogging is that every now and then
somebody you have never met stops by and says 'hello'.
And then you go to visit them and before long
you know about their children,
and their hairdresser,
and even what they are having for supper.

And sometimes I wish that I could have a little drinks party
and wander around and introduce people.
I would say "Monica - have you met Tracey?
You are both quilting artists so you might already know each other."

Eurolush
(who will be escorted by her husband,Mr Lush,
and her chimneysweep)

must meet the entrancing Maryam.
They are both Americans abroad,
far away from Target and Reese's Pieces.

I feel sure that Vanessa would enjoy meeting Florence.
Florence will love Vanessa's books
and Vanessa will be charmed by the stories of the little Teacakes

Readers Guide is a sailor
and so she can talk about boats with GMS.
I won't let him monopolise her all evening
because she might want to discuss books with Ali.

Lynn and Val have both got three year olds.
Lynn will be fascinated by Val's Science for Children series

Does Alice know Fifi?
They are both wonderful Australians with special writing styles.

I am going to keep Sarah all to myself
Is that selfish?
I want to know how many brothers she actually has...
every time I leave a message there is a new brother.
Perhaps she lives in a monastery...I need to know.

Here are some late arrivals straight from the sports fields:
Anne and Amy who can compare notes on sporty daughters.

And now, while I go off and find the cocktail umbrellas
and maraschino cherries, just make yourself at home.
If there is a new friend that you think I ought to invite
just let me know - the more the merrier!
