I guess i'm still on a high from the BBQ at the weekend, I really feel i've made some new friends, so thanks to all who helped and encouraged me go. Although we might not all live near each other, the beauty of the internet makes friendships possible over long distance. If anyone has seen the the topic on the BBQ and hasn't been before, I would say don't hesitate to go to a meet up like it. You really do feel you have a connection to those who attend. Although our lives may have gone down different paths, we all have this in common. I'm so glad I went and met so many great people, it will only grow as more and more come along and friendships deepen.
