Thank you so much everybody for all your compliments and also to those who have sent me emails, I too enjoyed the day very much and love putting faces to these funny names on the Forum ! I hope with the help of my family and "the Friends of the Collection" (they are the ones that do all the hard work, I just enjoy chatting) we will have a 2008 event. It was such a shame about the book incident, particularly as one of the books involved was on sale by its author Jan de Lange who was our very first foreign visitor , who had brought the books over at my request. Which as you can understand makes it all the more embarressing for me. So much against the grain next year there will have to be much more supervision which I feel is insulting towards all of you who I like to count as friends to be treated as such. Hey ho water under the bridge, I suppose it is the sign of the times when with too much publicity you never know who may drop in !
By the way Ferdie, I know you live a long way away but I understand you do have connections with Ewell which is quite near us so if you have time you can drop in for a visit any time, just give me a ring.
Thank you all once again for coming, I am glad you had a good day. Jean
