Apparently there's one in Northampton, but it's out on the road, so it's out of Tat's reach.

The NaNo kick-off meeting for Grahamstown will be at Wimpy *is insanely jealous* <br /><br />Jaime, I could definitely have done with some chocolate... or a stiff drink... this week. I loved that building too!<br /><br />Riete, I've come to the conclusion that the governments have bureaucracy to keep the ordinary folk like us on the brink of insanity and thus dependent on them. <br /><br />Kat, wonder if I can step off earth for a few moments while I attempt to regain my ability to think too ; )<br /><br />Kippy, YES! I did write and tell her, but somehow I think she may not know the full impact. And yes, anywhere in Europe would be better. We're working on it. <br /><br />Kimmy, I do... I do! <br /><br />Lois, it turns out that she'd posted another photo too (she invited me as contact, so that I could see it). Having that photo makes the knowledge that I have so tangible and yes, solid and permanent. It is a very impressive monument : )<br /><br />Marianne... do go!! I'd love to see photos. I may just send a shopping list of specifics I want to see haha! I'd dearly love to attend the festival myself. I'll still do that some day. <br /><br />Marty, we go from very non-sun to very more-than-enough sunny. It's definitely sunnier now in more ways than one. The waffle pics I was looking through also made me drool. I haven't had a waffle in... oh... must be about 13 years now. A lilac festival sounds charming! I enjoy festivals too :)~° Tint °~http://tintalasia.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-43722819447209867682010-10-28T15:33:18.000+01:002010-10-28T15:33:18.000+01:00I am sorry that you are having a wadded up ball of...I am sorry that you are having a wadded up ball of paper kind of day-- we have all been there, sadly! I hope by now things are sunnier.<br />The kindness of people above is enough to make you smile though! Wow!<br />And frankly, and I say this as a woman with major hips, you had me at the waffle picture, Tint! LOL I love a good waffle, much more than pancakes! For a moment I was totally distracted and went into monster-mode "WANT WAFFLES! WANT WAFFLES!" <br />One of the things that I love best about small towns are the festivals, I grew up for a while that had the LILAC festival every year and another town with the yearly molasses festival! I love those kinds of celebrations, and how an entire community comes together for that!Marty !http://martthetart.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-37922011773852059642010-10-28T13:33:34.000+01:002010-10-28T13:33:34.000+01:00Ficksburg and The Annual Cherry Festival ............Ficksburg and The Annual Cherry Festival ...........................mmmhhmmm you have now given me an idea for a trip !

Beautiful.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're getting the wadded-up-ball-of-paper treatment yet again. I'm so glad you're getting greetings from Dublin. I just can't help feeling that anywhere European has to be better than where you're at right now.
