A week! You had a week of enjoyment, chat, entertainment, and conviviality? you lucky ladies. It looked a wonderful occasion. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Daisydown. Thank you for dropping in. There was a lot of chatter. Interestingly, I lost my voice the week before the festivities…Laura
Great fotos girls. Yes, its been quite a week for all of us romancers. I was just about dead on Saturday morning. I won’t mention the parking ticket we got at the Festival of Romance as it might take the bloom off the occasion. BTW – was the room really THAT PINK ????
Oh no, Lizzie! I bet the warden just wanted your autograph. Laura xx
The room really was that pink, Lizzie! OK, so where are the behind the scenes pics, girls?

We did that once, after Conference. That may be enough behind the scene photos for one year.

In the main, fabulous pictures, girls
What a week. So lovely to catch up with so many of you. X
Ah Sarah – that book – No Such Thing…As Immortality. It was velvet to the fingertips. So glad we managed to get a photo of you
Laura xx
Love the pictures – worth a thousand words and I’m wondering which book to pitch on the conference day. pamela
Hi Pamela – thank you for dropping by. Hope you enjoyed our pompoms. I wonder if anyone has a photo of that… Laura
It certainly was quite a week, what with the Festival and the Winter Party. I am still feeling rather jaded! It was lovely to catch up with so many of our writer buddies.

Psst. Debbie. *whispers* Thank you for the toothpaste. Laura xx
Bet that river level rose when you lot got there (even I have no idea what I mean by that – a bit like the old cordwainer conspiracy…) ‘Nuff said.
Lol Susan! Nice to see you. Hope you’re keeping well. Laura x
What a great photo album, you must all be shattered after all that fun.
Hi DJ
