I’m meeting one of my fellow bloggers .
It’s Libby and she’s on holiday in Llandudno .
We are meeting at Osborn House , the boutique hotel/ restaurant where I was married.
It’s ok, I’ve been once before and that visit didn’t trigger any sentimental reactions .
Now I don’t go out of my way to meet my fellow bloggers. Blog friendships are odd and often just one sided as perhaps they know all about the you, well the you want them to know and you often don’t them as much.
Having said this , all of the bloggers or followers I have met have been delightful characters, David Travel Penguin , Steve ShadowLight, Ilona Meanqueen, Diane and Gary who came to my biggest Open Allotment days are just a few that spring to mind and I have around five or six others that I just know I would get along with very well if they turned up in Trelawnyd with a few beers and a scotch egg or two .
There are also a couple I’d dearly like to meet over a glass of wine and a romantic meal but that would be telling lol
Today’s cooking
Spiced Korean pork, wrapped in cabbage leaves and homemade mini pork and herb patties
Have a lovely chatty time -You are quite safe from me John - though if I lived nearer and bumped into you with my dogs - you'd hear us coming - there would be such a commotion with all the furry ones I'd have to hurry away x ☕ 🍰
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the meet-up. Visiting with you was one of the highlights of that adventure.
ReplyDeleteHope you both have a good time.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! Of the ones I have met, all too have been swell and just as they appeared on their blogs...I sensed no difference..
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and let us know how it goes.

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time. I sometimes wonder if I'll bump into you some time in Liverpool, but I'd just say hello and be on my way! 😁 xx
ReplyDelete. . . . . . . .and I'm still trying to fit in a side trip to Wales to see you when heading home to Devon! That Atlantic 'pond' just gets wider and wider to cross, and I'm getting older and older. One never knows though - may surprise you yet John.
ReplyDeleteMary (and of course Bob will be with with!)
It would be lovely to see you...and all the Manleys...a return trip to North Wales is seriously overdue.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Llandudno day out x
John and Libby, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to meet a fellow blogger, but yeah, there's a certain surrealness (?) in knowing so much about them while actually knowing very little. If that makes sense. Hope to see you in London again one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI've only had terrific experiences meeting fellow bloggers.
ReplyDeleteLast night I dreamed I met up with you and Meike from Germany!
DeleteI wish my travelling days and my blogging days had overlapped more....and those cabbage/pork rolls look delicious.
ReplyDeleteHope your meat-up with Libby is a delight and I seiously envy those delicious pork diishes your made .
ReplyDeleteSafe jouney there and back again.
Hugs!
You're anyone's for a Scotch egg x
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about fellow bloggers meet ups. Your dishes look great.
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a lovely day with Libby! Your cooking for today looks scrumptious! Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
ReplyDeleteBelly rubs for the Dorothy, Mary & Roger, and a head-butt for Albert.
Please post a photo of you and Libby! Yvonne
ReplyDeleteI have had a couple of blogger meet ups. I was anxious but they were wonderful. I hope you and Libby had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteAn arranged meet up is lovely but not those who appear on your doorstep unannounced!
ReplyDeleteI have only once met a blog reader. I was working at Haddock's when a couple turned-up on bikes and asked if I was Cro. They later said they'd have known Haddock's anywhere! They were very nice people. They didn't stay for long, and didn't say who they were or how they'd found me.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks tasty! Hope you enjoyed your meet up too.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you. I knew you would be a nice bloke, and I was right. xxx
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great rendezvous with Libby.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was a great time and I hope to be lucky enough to meet you one day soon!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the meet up, and you will be in our favourite place, Osborn House is lovely isn't it. I always find it a much more balanced meet up when it's with a fellow blogger. I've been surprised a few times when people start reeling off to me what I've done and when I did it ... and I know virtually nothing about them!!
ReplyDeleteOf course Scotch Eggs are a way to many a bloggers heart. ;-)
I would love to call in on you John - we have been blog pals for so many years. It won't happen now but I can dream (especially when I see that food you have cooked.
