Thank you Karl
It was a very nice day despite the appalling English weather.

I have been told such a phrase is redundant!  ;D  ;)

I haven't met anybody in along while  :-[. In past years I had the privilege to meet and/or attend concerts with Gurn, Dr. Henning, Jezetha and Brewski. I hope I'm not missing anyone. If so, it was an honour to meet with you, too  ;D.

And a scrumptious meal at the restaurant, too  ;). My daughter almost fell asleep during Madama Butterfly... She says she enjoyed every minute she was awake  :laugh:.

Haha - now it is quite sunny over here and I hope that Johan had better weather for the rest of his visit (including Canterbury Cathedral).

It's important for the Europeans to make the most of this brief period before everyone is expelled from the country!

It's one of my biggest wishes, too. 15 years of correspondence is a good preparation for that epochal event !  8)

I may go on a book tour and if I do, I hope to come to a town near you!

Hmmm, if memory serves:
- Senta (who was the first "internet person" from any website that I ever met in real life!)
- Papy Oli
- JZ Herrenberg, vandermolen, Luke Ottevanger, Dundonnell (at the Gothic Symphony live in London)
- poco (Sforzando)
- Brewski
- EigenUser
- Dancing Divertimentian

In that order, too, chronologically. Hope I am not forgetting anyone!

Yes, the Gothic meet-up in London was a happy memory for me too.
