Oh no, we were upstairs still, sorting out the bill. We left at 3.10pm. Sorry to have missed you. Knight N. was still there as he had his young family with him. His children are so lovely! We are enjoying cakes and coffee at the Sky Garden now. What a lovely day! Thanks for coming everyone!! Even ejwrank! Good to see you!

Hope all enjoyed! Until next time....

We all had a great time, lots of food and tombola presents, plus PXC held an impromptu film quiz, asking questions she didn't know the answer to. :giggle: Thank you to people for turning up and bringing things along. Time flew by, and the Sky Gardens were a worthy ending for most of us. OH and I took the places of people who had booked but not come. It's an impressive building with an even more impressive view over London. Sorry we missed you, vealster!

Lovely to see everyone and glad I was able to make it. The quiz was great -- especially when the wonderful pxc didn't know the answers even though she was asking the questions. Thanks for all the arrangements and for letting some of us just turn up!

Well, I had not really prepared for the quiz part (where was yogi/steve when we need them, I think they did the last ones!), as I had lots of prizes to give away, so thought the best way to get rid of them was to do the unprepared film quiz, which was so much fun as I was making it up as I went along! ;) And the time went ever so quickly. Hope everyone enjoyed the lucky dip and went away with something they liked. The Sky Garden is so beautiful. Love, love it! And even chelle's mum who normally has height anxiety enjoyed it too!

It was so good to see everyone and catch up o/ And even the weather was good! So sorry, steve9872 and vealster. You were really missed.
