Via Vladivostok...you bring the plastic sheets and I'll bring the baby oil.

Questa & Cheery ~ I moved y'all's last two comments to a new thread (called "Till We Meet Again") here in Free Trade Zone. It is really Questa's thread, but because of the way the moving process works, it shows as mine. Anyway, huge thanks to Questa for boiling down the conversation so far to a manageable version. anyportinastorm.proboards.com/thread/8707/till-meet-again

I was hoping the summary might entice others to join the group...I'm looking at you, Mossie.

I am tempted but now have mobility and confidence problems, my accident has set me back a lot. Hopefully I will recover but it is too early to be positive. Unfortunately am not getting any younger. Thanks for the thought.

Dear Mossie, I understand it well. I am in the same boat...had a couple of falls and now every move has me thinking, "Will this step trip me up or not...can I reach that paper without over-balancing...I can't hold a cup in each hand and walk into the next room." I have managed a broken nose, 2 broken ribs and 2 fingers. My confidence has taken a dive but I don't want to cotton-wool myself yet. If the GTG goes ahead and I do get to UK I will phone you if you would like that. We revolutionaries have to stick together

Be careful questa. Not everything of Mossie's has stopped working....

Mick, Are you suggesting that Mossie is getting around with 4 X 500lb of ordnance still in the bomb bay?

Mick, Are you suggesting that Mossie is getting around with 4 X 500lb of ordnance still in the bomb bay? That’s one way of putting it...

However could you think such a thing!
My intentions are almost honourable

By the time anything happens, we should have duty free between the UK and France again. How about a meetup on the ferry between Dover and Calais?

I will have a look at the other thread Bixa mentioned , would be up for a meet up depending on dates / location and if so can maybe help others in UK get to it, re transport etc. Mossie - I had missed the news re your accident ( apologies) but its clear your sense of humour is not diminished. Questa - go girl, inspiring words.

Well, the 24th of January 2020 the lockdown was happening in Oz. We are lucky we hadn't gone ahead with our incredible get-together plans. The rate the virus has taken over our lives would have led to all sorts of complications. Somehow I can't see us travelling to any rendezvous for a couple of years ...not until a vaccine is available.
I'm so disappointed...I had read up on Mossie's city and found it very interesting, I was going to con Mick to show me where Lords Cricket ground is and would have loved to sit outside Patrick's place and watched the River traffic. Cheery could show me all her beautiful things she has made and maybe the Euro group could come to tea with me. You can tell I have itchy feet again!

All of the British members were even planning on paying for our accommodations in lovely B&Bs if they didn't have space in their own homes. Or did I misinterpret their intentions?
