HSMS Meet

in 2007 i was introduced to a website called HerSpaceMySpace, and i became addicted.

the basics A daily prompt was added to the site and you did your own version and i played along on and off til they disbanded the site.

I only every did basic point and shoot a bit of editing using free internet programmes, but through it i met the best bunch of people, gradually we all kinda became friends on Facebook and we chat and there is a mini version of HSMS known as ourspace. i don't really do that anymore but i am still friends with such wonderful people.

i kinda feel like a fraud as i'm not a crafter and not a mum and not a photographer yet they have accepted me into the fold and today i met them or at least some of them for the 1st time and i don't know about them but for me we all clicked there was no-one i didn't get on with they were all as expected.

i took my mum with me, for no other reason than she loves manchester. we only live a few miles up the road but hardly ever go.

2 of the women travelled a fair distance once from wales one from newcastle. in the end i booked into their hotel. i though someone else was staying but they had to pull out for medicational (not a real word i know) so i felt a bit bad about leaving them too it. i'm so glad i did stay there was no way i could have gone home at 5pm like i would have had to if i hadn't been staying over.

this photo is being posted as one of the women, who is an excellent photographer (a freelance photographer and runner of courses - i've not been on one as i have point n click and she is into these posh cameras i could never afford) anyhoo i diregss. she looked through my pics as she met us later and said she loved it and for me that is the biggest compliment. and it was (i hope) genuine praise so thank you my lovely friend.

sorry this is babbaling along i got hardly any sleep last night traffic noise, and a strange bed mucked me up.

i did so much walking today 11th sept and the day after as i didn't have interweb access i'm back blipping (did i mention that)

right i'm going off to blip the 12/9 in a mo hope that post will be a little easier to read
