Coffee and mince pies

Met up with Jane in Boston on wednesday had nice Coffee and festive mince pies, and got to know each other a bit better. We had a little look in next at the suits for some ideas. Will get together with Michele and hopefully chose something in Grantham after the next meeting. The black silk mini skirt jane choose and my input of a little sparkly top should look good and of course it will be a bit warmer when we go to South Carolina . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ha Ha joke !!! On a more serious note there was a few nice to suits to chose from well within budget. I look forward to meeting up with you all our next meeting and wish you all a lovely christmas with your family and friends.

First Meeting

A few wrong turns later and I have finally made it the first meeting with the group I will be travelling with to South Carolina. A warm welcome from Rodney and his wife followed by a great opportunity to meet everyone and have the chance to go over the detail of the trip. Having Colin there was a good opportunity to ask questions, having taken a group to Norway recently. The presentations gave us a insight into information we need to include and some of the interesting facts we had gathered will no doubt be an interesting talking point on our trip. Left the meeting looking forward to the next.

First Group Meeting

After a long drive and then having to navigate my way through the centre of a big city with only a Sat Nav for company i reached my destination. Full of apprenhension and excitement i was warmly welcomed by Rodney and his wife into their home and was offered a very much appreciated coffee and biscuits. The other members of the group started to arrive and it was nice to put faces to names. We were finally ready to start our first meeting, covering a lot of ground. It was very informative and was great to be able to see previous GSE presentations and speak to Colin who had previously taken a group to Norway. As the meeting progressed i felt so very lucky that i had been given this wonderful opportunity. Looking forward to our next meeting and getting to know the group better.

First Group exchange Meeting.

After a busy morning of christmas shopping at Highcross in Leicester it was great to be welcomed into Rodney and Pam's home where we met for our first Group Study Exchange meeting. After a great cup of coffee and biscuits it was down to buisness and all our questions and anxieties were reassured by Rodney and Colin. It was great to see previous groups presentations and what a great experience they had making me even more excited than before! It was nice to put faces to names in meeting the group and to realise that we all had something in common, and were all really looking forward to going to South Carolina on exchange. I look forward to our next meeting.
