[Joinee Dave]

Ok, here goes.
I've not been on the forum for ages. Not because I don't like people, or because I've had a falling out with anyone.
It's simply been because, well, I don't really know. I needed a break, and then that break just became longer and longer, and before you know it, I just wasn't bothering any more.
Now I don't particularly think this is a bad thing, but I'm not saying it's the way to go either. I had a break, that's pretty much it.

But on Saturday, within 5 seconds of turning up, I knew just why Joinees are the best people I know.
As I try to sidle up unnoticed, I see a giant man, a Wilf shaped silhouette, point at me, and shout my name.
Before I know what's happening, another load of people are shouting "DAAAAAAAAVEEEEE" and I am being hugged more ferociously than I think I have ever been hugged.
Without meaning to sound all soppy and crap, I honestly felt so thrilled, so welcomed, and so genuinely liked that I didn't quite know what to do.
You guys continually amaze me, much as I amaze myself, but that's because I'm ace, and you know it.

Anyhoo, I took some pics.
They are here.

I also took some photos at the Childrens Hospital, when we went to give the presents. Thans Rach, for asking me to be the official photographer. I felt all special, and not in a bad way. I hope that some of them are to your liking, but I've PM'd you with details of those.

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of a job well done, as last Saturday firmly planted Fab Feb at the top of my fave meets list.

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

We love you, Dave!

Well, I know *I* certainly do. I think the others probably do too. I strongly suspect that they do.

It was BRILLIANT to see both you and Clare again. Hopefully see you again soon...!! xxxx

Twas lovely to meet you - hopefully next time I'll get to talk a little more with you. I feel I need to, after the talking up that Lou has given you for, well, forever.

It was actually brilliant to see you, and I'm sorry I didnt get a chance for a proper chat.

Hi Dave. It was great to meet you. I didn't realise you were there with Claire, I just kept looking at her and thinking she looked familiar Of course she looks familiar we've seen the wedding photos haven't we! I can be a bit dense sometimes.

You will deffinately both have to come up to Halifax sometime. If I manage to get the lovely big house I want I'll be able to put you up in comfort.

[Silver SV Joinee Jo]

I miss you Dave! Curse having a job that intrudes upon weekends.

Are you coming to GGF?

Oooh and what marvellous photos!

[Fab Loud SMJ YDMFreshmaker]
