Katiej visits Judydawn with a surprise gift

[judydawn]

Today I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Katie who recently ended up with 2 copies of Quick Fix in the Thermomix by Alyce Alexandra. Alyce was kind enough to tell Katie to give it to someone and not send it back so I was the very lucky and grateful recipient. Thank you Katie and Alyce.  I have only had time to give the book a quick glance but it will be going to bed with me tonight for a complete read.  What I've seen so far impresses me which is the general consensus from those who have this book.
Katie spent the afternoon with Geoff & me and of course the usual forum and TMX conversation took place - poor Geoff - but poor Katie too when Geoff discussed his tank collection with her    Thanks for the visit and gift Katie, with our busy lives it sure took us a long time to catch up when we only live 10 minutes apart.
Photo taken by Geoff, the first photo he has taken with the camera that was given to him for his 60th, 2 years ago. You all know by now that this camera has been used many times by someone else in the family though

Well deserved gift there JD!!  So glad to see you catching up with other TMX lovers as well!

I look forward to picking up a copy of this book though!

I ordered my copy Friday week ago and look forward to its delivery.
Nice to see fellow thermomixers getting together.

It was a lovely afternoon meeting Judy and Geoff and talking about our Thermies and the forum.  I'm really lucky to live so close to our Superhero Judy and it was great to visit.

Judy and Geoff are both lovely and it was so nice chatting I actually stayed for hours 
It was even nice talking about the tanks with Geoff.  My OH has three cabinets full of die-cast buses and cars, so I understand boys and their collections!

I ordered the Quick Fix in the Thermomix book well before Xmas after reading about it on Facebook, but my copy didn't arrived and "seemed to have been lost in the mail".  I emailed Alyce to let her know and she kindly arranged another copy to be couried to me, which I received last week.  This week the "lost" copy of the book finally turned up in the mail  .  I emailed Alyce again and offered to post the book back to her, but she kindly said I could keep it and pass it on to someone I knew who had a Thermomix.  I knew Judy lived just down the road from me and I couldn't think of a better person to give it to! 

Thanks again Judy for letting me visit and thank you for the bottle of wine.  Hopefully we will get to catch up again

We had a good laugh whilst Geoff was trying to take our photo, nothing like a quick snap with him

It sounds as though you both had a great afternoon together.Did you help Judy eat any of that ice cream she's been making Katie :
Enjoy your reading material tonight Judy.

[judydawn]

CC, I didn't even think to offer any to Katie - that would have been a great idea.
