I would just like to
thank 'wee Joan' for making tonight such a great occasion. Tommy and I had a
great time and it was nice to catch up with all the Perth "gang" We had an
unexpected guest in my son-in-law Peter who was flying out to Queensland on the
midnight flight after being in Perth for a couple of days on business and while
talking to Marilyn discovered they had a mutual friend in Adelaide ...small
world or what!!! You were quick with the pictures Joan could not believe when I
got home they were already on here. Thanks again for a great night. |

Well back to work for
me. Flew into Adelaide late last night and into some hot weather. Had the
smoothest flight ever but I was crook before I boarded the plane in Perth and
feel like death warmed up. Must have been all that drink I had haha. WeeJoan,
you did a wonderful job with the photos, flags and all, so thank you so much for
all your efforts. Peter and I had a wonderful time and felt we had known you all
for ever ... and we fell in love with Perth! CaltonCuddy, Lisa and Jacinta are
beautiful girls and I have arranged to meet up with them next time I am in
Perth. It was nice to talk with you on the 'phone. Beth, Elizabeth is so warm
and friendly, obviously takes after her mum, and it was wonderful she was able
to make it, in fact everyone had a ball. It's a bit of a let down being back at
work. Thanks WeeJoan for not posting the other photos of me with Webby and
Norrie!!!!! All down to you Webmaister |
as ye kin see there were a few GlescaPals gatecrashed the event,
well done wee joan. |

Australia
Just off the plane from
Melbourne. As the song goes ... oh what a night ... After shopping in Melbourne
we went back to our hotel and Josie, Margaretcr and Jim were in the lounge
having a wee drinkie!
So we sat there for a few hours and then went to our rooms to rest and get ready
for the night ahead. Margaretcr, Jim, Peter and myself caught a tram to the
restaurant and Brian and Terri were already there. Great food, great laughs ...
if you ever get a chance to meet Josie, please do as she is great company and
really funny ... she also has a heart of gold. Although it's mid day I'm going
to try and have a nanna nap as I'm exhausted. I will post my photos tomorrow
when I'm at work.
It really was a very special night and I can't remember when I'd laughed so
much. The only downside to the evening was that Caltoncuddy and Corry didn't get
to Melbourne. Hope you are both ok.
A huge hug to our Webmaister for GlescaPals. xx Now where's
the next swally..... hahaha. |

Poppins and Frank who flew right across this vast continent and Mary and
Helena. We had a brilliant wee GlescaPals Hoose Party.
PiggeryBrae were singing all night and the
Saltire was flying high. As instructed, Toast to absent friends at 9.00pm
and closed with Auld lang Syne. Foties to follow. We got thrown out of the
venue as they wanted to close. Then we sang again at the monument.

just got back to helenas. we were dropping off poppins and frank and
ofcourse being glasgwegians we were invited to their hotel for a wee "cuppa"
guess what the hotel did not have tea/coffee so we had to force ourselves to
have another wee drink (Honestley!!!) THANK YOU to everyone for a fantastic
night. Not been out socialising for a long time and tonight was just
wonderful. How is it that folks you do not know can become such good friends
in such a short time. Only folks from Glasgow thats who!!! It is now 1.40am
and helena is telling me to get to bed. Please dont look too closely to the
photos elizabeth sends!!!! |
Allan, Frank, Mary, Beth, Poppins & Elizabeth

Poppins, 22 Nov 2010, Adelaide, Australia
We're back home now. We had a wonderful time with Mary & Helena, Beth, Alan
& Elizabeth. We sang songs, reminisced and generally had the restaurant in
an uproar. 2 Australian couples at the next table were desparate to join us
I think. The entire restaurant was empty when we were finally reminded that
the restaurant was closed. The restaurant is situated in the middle of a
beautiful public park, so we just carried on our hoose party in the park.
Great night. Beth and I had the C&A in common as she's mentioned, but the
coincidences didn't end there. I mentioned to Alan that my cousin used to
play for Aberdeen and it turned out he knew him quite well and in fact had
played against him years ago. My husband Frank knew Mary's in-laws and other
relatives and last but not least he and Alan had lots of people and places
in common and hardly came up for air all night. It was a scream when Beth
would say " we've been married all these years and I didn't know that". Then
it would be my turn. "Why haven't you mentioned that to me before?" Men!!
Will try to download some of the more 'respectable' photos.
