Looks like you all had a fantastic time, my mouth is watering looking at all the pics of food, especially that fabulous afternoon tea.
Look forward to sharing some of that gorgeous Qld weather with you tomorrow, Gert!

emerald Sue those photos are gold. So wish I could have been there. What a lovely arvo tea for CC Aussie style. Thank you JO.

Is everyone one their way home now?

Deedub you will love the sunshine and warmth up here. Are you packed?


Had to make scrambled   eggs  to eat as there is nothing else. Could  have gone for the baked beans but saving them for breakfast! Shopping  tomorrow and back into the hum drum after an exciting fun filled weekend.

Thanks Sue for the pics. Djinni be sure to pick up some French Earl Grey from T2 before you leave. Katie and Karen thanks for bringing your cuties  last night. Thanks uni for sharing  your "moves". LOL!

CC and Judy get some sleep! You have  worked hard enough.

Anyone run into Kevin?

Only 1920 and I am ready for bed.

Cheers,

You all look and sound like you had a wonderful time. Wish I could have been there, hopefully next year.

Thanks for keeping us updated and thanks for the laughs but I'm pretty sure that a lot of what happened in SA stayed in SA 🙈🙉🙊
I do the best I can

Hi forumfesters and all our followers - we had a great weekend in spite of the weather conditions.  If it rained heavily we stayed in a coffee shop otherwise we managed to get out and about and buy heaps of stuff wherever we went.  It was an absolute joy to finally be part of a forumfest but by golly CC and I are tired little ladies tonight and food is the last thing on our minds.  Still have some unpacking to do but thanks everyone for all the lovely items in our goodie bags, the loads of laughs we had and the wonderful companionship from you all.  I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at Jo's today to finish things off and those who flew out today, I hope you all had a great flight home.  Off to look at my photos to see if there is anything different to post.

Everyone seemed surprised at how small I was, must admit I was too whilst I was amongst these much taller ladies.  Had to have this photo taken to prove how short I am and one with my DD to show that she is 'normal' height  ;D

Judy there is nothing "normal" about DD. She  is  stunning. You and I however, are pretty normal. ;D

Thanks Gretchen, lovely thing to say about Jo.  Thanks for the goodie bag for the GKs, they were very pleased to receive their own special little bag and were also very interested in what came out of the big goody bag too.  We missed you there today.

Would have loved to meet them . Hope they didn't drive you nuts with the thingy's !  Hope you can spend  more time with them now that Geoff is settled.  I am sure he was on all our minds and wishing him the best while wishing you,the time to share yourself with us.

CC and I called in to see Geoff on the way home.  He was happy to see us, had not had any visitors today according to the book but no complaints from him.  I showed him a few photos and he offered CC his tea because he didn't want it  :D

I've had THE most fabulous weekend with all the Forum Fest 2013 girls.It was a great privilege to spend time with you all.I laughed so much last night that my mascara ran.Although the weather was showery I felt right at home :D :D Sorry that I got emotional saying good bye to everyone at Jo's .I'll probably lose it again on Tuesday when I have to say goodbye to the lovely Judy at the airport.
Thank you to Jo for the delicious High Tea this afternoon.The best scones ever!!
