Latest weather report from sunny Oxfordshire - it's raining!!! We were forecast buckets of snow from 8pm Friday to 2am Saturday. It's currently 10.10pm and pouring with rain! Never thought I would be so pleased to see rain.

Hopefully that means trains will be running, and buses too come to that, so see you all tomorrow.

pouring with rain here in the chilterns too 🙂
 
Update at 4.50am - no snow whatsoever! That's the last time a trust the BBC to get the weather right! Most of what we had has been washed away with it, so there are certainly no problems here for travel, just hope it's ok wherever the rest of you are coming from. See you later!

Great news Tina! 🙂 See you soon! 🙂
 
Yawn! Just had breakfast and about to leave to get the bus to the train station. Little bit of the light snow we had last night still on the ground but just checked the train is on time.

See you all later!

Ah, good news Marg, I was worried when I saw the news about the M6 overnight! I'll hover near the ticket barriers and keep an eye out for you and Di 🙂
 
Just waiting for train to arrive!

See you in a while x
 
I will be with you in spirit = have a great, and safe, day. xxxx
 
Hope you're all having a good day 🙂
 
Hope you are all having a great time!
 
!!

I had a very pleasant time! And a hug from Gail was the best bit... :D
 
Lovely day 🙂 great to see everyone again. Hope you all got back safely and Gail hope you enjoy the rest of your bargain break in Oxford 🙂
 
Wish I hadn't had work :( oh well, I will try to get to the York and Birmingham ones.
 
Thanks to everyone who came along, it was great to meet you all again 🙂

Gail, I hope you enjoy your stay and get to see a bit more of Oxford than The Four Candles! 🙂
 
Home and enjoying a cuppa! Lovely to meet people but the day went far too quickly. Pouring down with rain here at the moment. Ah well.
 
Though we only had a relatively short ride home on the bus after our shopping trip, the driver seemed to take a very interesting route, completely off the normal route, no idea why. Kim said she thought the way things were going the driver would do a 3 point turn in the road - he did! It was most strange on a double decker bus, and very funny! Still, after probably a 15 minute deviation we made it home.

It was lovely to see you all again. I was just thinking how lucky Alan was for most of the day, having all us ladies to entertain him! Good job Tez turned up to save him! Sorry we didn't get to talk much Di, but really wishing you well for little Harry's imminent arrival.

Thanks everyone, and see you again sometime.

Tina

Pouring with rain here too the past couple of hours, but it's getting tropical! It felt significantly warmer at 8pm than it did at 5, bizarre, but lovely for a change.
 
Had a great time everyone, the day definitely went to fast.

Hopefully see you all again later in the year xxx
 
So sorry I had to pass on this one. Will definitely be in London for the next one. On the plus side, Eleanor was her usual delightful self and we had a great time making cakes for her to take home to Mummy and Daddy.
 
A few pictures from yesterday. A little thin on the ground this year compared to last year, but very good company and a lovely time nonetheless!
