New Kid on the Block

[EmmaQ1]

Hi everybody,

I have to confess that like Kate and Bookgirl, I have been lurking for a couple of months now, but recent events and their appearance have confirmed my decision to seize the day!

Unlike my screen name, I am in fact another Gaby, 47 with no children, a soon to be [b]EX-[/b]husband but two wonderful nine year old tabbies. Oh dear that makes me sound a bit like an old mad cat woman......... well if the cap fits

I too am a belated convert to JRT's body of work, in fact I was actually with my mum when she booked her ticket for LWW and didn't get one for myself . I've got TV choice on demand at home so having discovered the unmitigated joys of GW, I was raving to said mum one day about the gorgeous Dr. Mac, only to discover that not only were both my parents GW fans (pretty good for oldies in their late seventies!) but my mother smugly said to me, of course I know who JRT is I saw him the other day at the National.

Well needless to say I immediately did two things the first was to book a ticket for LWW the second was to google JRT hence finding Jools fantastic website. Since then I attended the platform and previously having seen the play booked another seat for the last night. But more on that in another forum.

You all read like such lovely people I'm jolly glad I registered [quote]Have me back!! I'm not a family heirloom!![/quote]

Hi Gaby...you've got a quality name there!
Glad to see you've decided to de-lurk yourself, and that you luckily discovered the joys of Julian before the play's finished its run!

welcome to this wonderful place gaby

hope you have fun tonight! *desperately attempts to hide jealousy*

i wish my parents were as cool as yours.... all they're interested in is football for dad and ireland for mum (hence we spend the whole of every holiday in our house in cork watching the rain come bucketing down....)

[Mac Valentine]

Hi hope you have a good time tonight

[goshandcrikey]

hello it was great to meet you last night even if you did confuse us by making us think you were another Emm when you were another Gaby

She's not officially yet a JRT fan, but I thought you might all like to know that James Henry and Fiona had their Green Wing baby girl yesterday. You can find out out lots more, see pics etc at their blogs.

I don't even like children or babies...but I think she's adorable!

[guyoline]

I saw the pictures on his blog and aww she is too cute I'm so happy for them

Cello - Just think of all the audiobooks that you can now justify buying... you might have to 'test' them first of course!

And yes, she is a gorgeous baby!
