Wow - that was the event - that was!!!! Carry on here.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

35.... you have the best bit ahead of you Nicola .... Really!

[Emma]

Glad you said that Simon. I am 35 this year too :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Simon even makes me feel young. . .

[Lorraine]

Simon is young at heart and it's all that matters, love him really !

[Lorraine]

Lol, 2 hours later I'm still getting notification emails from the chat (forgot to turn them off)... Ian 1 - Goodreads 0 lol

[Patti (baconater)]

Wow. Just wow.

I've just spent the past 45 minutes savouring and enjoying the posts in both threads.

Posts 148 and 149 in the live event thread gave me goose flesh, I must say!

Ian and Lorraine, thank you.

Simply brilliant. This discussion added even more dimensions to the wondrous enjoyment I've gained from reading Abide With Me.

I'm sure it will do so for many, many others as well.

I'm disappointed I wasn't able to be here during the event itself but glad to know I can pop into Ian's author thread at any time for a chat.

Again, thank you.

Hi Ian, sorry I missed your big night. Had a hectic week and fell asleep in the chair! Old age is a terrible thing.

Hope everything went well.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Yes thank you, I had a lot of fun. A great event from Ian and Lorraine!

[Philip (sarah)]

Thanks Ian and Lorraine for a terrific night,you must both have typist;s cramp.

[Aunty Janet]

Thanks for the live event last night Lorraine and Ian. It's the first one I've participated in and I really enjoyed it. x

[Lorraine]

Lol, thanks everyone :)

I'll only take so much credit for it, Ian's delivered some great answers, and you've all asked some fab questions.... the event wouldn't be the great evening it is without all of you, you know?

So THANKS EVERYONE :)
