Could you send me your mobile number? I'm 07531469637. If that's OK I'll give you a call when I finish up at the embassy to let you know how I'm going....and to get instructions for finding you! Ta, Rachael

Great to see you yesterday.

Thanks for the update on Tuesday. I hadn't realised it was a bit out of London so I suspect I won't be able to get there for 11.30am: my appointment is at the French Embassy and I've been warned that it could take hours! Could you let me know what time you think the session itself will start (sounds like you were having lunch first?) and if time goes well and I can get there before you start I'll jump on a train? Rachael

I am away on 26th Oct as it's half term.
Do keep in touch.

I'm waiting on a number of opportunities to find out the outcomes - holiday time is always a bit frustrating getting hold of folk. Still, gives time for loads of other things!
I'll need to let you know whether I can make it on 21st.
Kind regards,
Petra

Replies are (confusingly) interspersed with your text.
Apologies for disturbing you in France. I rang on the off-chance you were goung in for Amed's writers group which at the last minute I decided to attend. Was going to see if we could train in together.
OK.
Re next st albans group.

Will post date as Mon 21st as no one's objected.
FINE
Re venue - I looked at the Quaker's library (Upper latimore Road), which is perfect but like everywhere else has no nearby parking. As quite a few people will drive I'd like to suggest we meet at my house 104 Gurney Court Avenue. Will be cosy, but free and easy parking, which is more important. David B. and Beryl said they thought my sitting room would be OK, and since then I've moved the furniture to make more room. Please tell me how you feel about this suggestion asap so we can post as EVent on website.M I haven't found anywhere else to meet with free, available parking.
OK WITH ME
Have fun, Deb ps would value your thoughts on process, but understand if you're busy. Did you read David Shepherd's excellent suggestion?
YES, LOOKS LIKE A GOOD START
CHEERS,PZJ
