Many thanks Paolo.

Some great pictures, and the quality of your camera does show! :)

Let's hope Ming's Mum has a good memory! :D

Wonderful pictures, everyone. I really hope now that I'll be able to come in the near future; after all, it comes only once a year! 8)

That's a bit like meeting Enid and saying, "Great books, and the quality of your typewriter does show!"

I know what you mean, though, Rob! :D

Oscar very kindly gave out yellow and black badges depicting the Spanish Famous Five, if that's what you mean, Sue.

Strange, it was not until you pointed this out Sue and I re-studied the photos that I noticed this. It seems that half the Loddon Hall was wearing an Oscar badge! :lol: Alas, he must have ran out of supplies when we were introduced! :wink:

They are really nice badges, and I wish I had one too! :cry:

Great photos - wish I could make it to a Day. :( Looks like you all had a smashing time. Maybe I should hint to my family at a holiday in England in the month of May next year? :wink:
