@Matt I want to add my sincere thanks to you and Katie for everything you did to bring us together again for an amazing few days. It was incredibly special, and a real eye-opener to discover Baltimore, an amazing city! Great to meet your lovely girls, and exciting that Imogene now has her first pair of Iron Heart jeans, a new generation spreading the love! It was wonderful to spend time with everyone who came. And we raised our glasses many times to absent friends we hope to see at the next gathering, or here in Gosport (or who knows where?!)

OMG, I am getting so excited about this trip, I've actually started reading the thread on the forum

Seriously excited to see so many of you again and meet lots of new folks

@Twistlock thank you! I managed to fracture my wrist during our recent visit to Tromsø which is making life a little tricky right now, but Giles is taking good birthday care of me

@twin thank you - it's been too long - hope you and Bobby are doing great x x x

@Kasi thank you dearest Mo! x x x

Thank you @goosehd - love to you and all the beautiful girl geese x x x x x x

@Giles doesn’t Paula take care of everything for you?

Yeah, but even I can sort out which flights are the best.

Yeah, by asking me to research

@ROman - Yay!

Wow, this is so exciting! Well done @endo and @Daniel-San the plans sound super. And (I'm sure I speak for @Alex too) it's always such fun to come to an Iron Heart party as a guest and not an organiser

Yes, we're flying into Hamburg on Thursday 12th (BA flight ETA 15:55) and will get the train to Bremen, so should be there early evening. Bremen looks lovely so wanted to make sure we have plenty of time to explore.

We will leave on Monday 16th (flight from Hamburg at 14:25). Very excited, thank you for organising @Daniel-San and @endo

Flights are booked for me and G

@endo I hope so, too

Yeah, last night's match was truly painful to watch, I had to go to bed soon after it finished I was so exhausted. I woke this morning with a strange feeling of disbelief that England had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, usually it's the opposite...

@Madame-Buttonfly she absolutely got more of mama’s genes thank God

She actually looks a lot like you...

@twin said in Cheer for P:

@Madame-Buttonfly So nice to hear from you. We twins are doing well. Remember the twins that gave you that big hug at Shady Maple. They are now 91 years old.

Wow, that's crazy - are they doing well? I'm delighted to hear you twins are both doing great, and hope our paths will cross again before too long

Thanks, all for your lovely comments and good wishes - we're having the most amazing time so far, can't believe we're only on day 6, it feels longer (but then 6 days on my own with Giles is bound to feel like a long time, hahaha). Giles has taken the dinghy out fishing, so I will sit in the afternoon sun and read my book and try to recover from the England game last night - was like watching a horror film, I could barely watch! Looking forward to setting off for France at first light tomorrow...

@motojobobo they are truly spectacular - thank you very much for sharing

@mclaincausey - can't believe how grown up Hattie is, she is BEAUTIFUL (must take after her Mum, hahahaha). Lovely young lady with lovely flowers - thank you. Sending love back from Guernsey across the oceans to Colorado

@twin I am sorry it's taken me so long to go back to this thread, such beautiful pictures - thank you. Miss you! Hope life is good for you and Bobby x x x

Alex and Sam taking their pool contest very seriously
