Be jealous, very jealous

DD2 (known to some of you as Melb) and I met up with another blogging friend today
I lurve meeting blog-buds!
(Just recently we spent a fabulous morning getting to know Shayne and a couple other bloggers/scrappers at Manuka's)
It's fun to see if they are anything like the idea you have formed of them.
Today we met Ness of Drover's Run - the techno genius, cyber-giant girl.
She always made me laugh with the quick wit and clever writing on her blog, but I was a bit intimidated by her knowledge of all things technical.
As it turns out, all that expertise hasn't stopped her from being a fun and warm person who is really nice to be around.
Our venue was Kirstenbosch gardens;
probably one of the most beautiful places on the planet;
the weather was freakily exquisite - (I had to apply sunscreen twice, and removed 3 of my 4 layers of clothing!);
the lattees were good;
and the kids were amazingly good.
All in all, a great time.
Pics will follow, hopefully.
By the way, is anyone else experiencing a dearth of comments?
Or is it just me??

I LOVE meeting blogging friends. I've missed "visiting" with you via your blog. Hope you're well.

I love Kirstenbosch...haven't been there in ages. Will have to go on my "places to go list" for December.

Oooh!
It sounds as though December might be a good time for a Bloggers-Get- Together in Cape Town.

What do you think - shall we start planning for it?
Kirstenbosch?
With sunscreen, hats, shoe-string tops, and long cold drinks.

No idea why so few commenters -
Must say I hate it though . . .
