    • Hi Sophie – it was quite something, but very good. Thank you for dropping by and hope this week is good for you.
      Laura 🙂

    • Morning Elle – I think some of us may still be in recovery, but it’s heads down and back to the wip 🙂 Laura x

  1. 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 🙂

  2. 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 ????

  3. The room really was that pink, Lizzie! OK, so where are the behind the scenes pics, girls? 😉 xx

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

    • 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

  4. 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 🙂

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    • Hi DJ
      It was full on, but a great experience and we met so many wonderful people. Laura 🙂

      • So glad to see the photos! You all look FABULOUS ladies. Hope to be partying with you all next year.
