So excited to meet up with @maggiemae today.
We have followed each other for must be almost four years now & did feel we knew each other pretty well on paper but was still a little aprehensive about meeting someone actually in the flesh.
Needn't have bothered of course as she was exactly as I thought she would be a perfect warmhearted interesting person and John her husband was very interesting & good company too. Their daughter Kerry drove them up so much thanks to her & them for sparing a good part of the day trekking up to our part of the world.
I will look on maggiemae as a friend on paper & in flesh & really will make a good effort to meet up when in NZ next time.
Love to you both on your journey back home, we loved meeting you so much!
Thanks to John for the photo taking!
Three good things:
1. A world opened up by 365 and new friends to share it with.
2. Harry & I shared our 52 year wedding anniversary today.
3. Two lovely bottles of NZ wine sent by our DIL...thank you so much. X
Shewood Estate Pinot Noir Waipara Valley & Sherwood Estate Stoney Range Sauvignon Blanc for Maggiemae's information.
Got to be a fav. The power of modern technology. Not all bad. Got to be a fav for wonders of 365. Got to be a fav for 52 years of marriage. What a mile stone. Congratulations.
What a lovely pic and how fantastic that you 2 have become friends through 365. Happy anniversary and a fav for this gorgeous shot of 2 beautiful ladies.
@newbank@jesperani Thank you thank you both....so exciting meeting up.....we had a very nice lunch out, a couple of glasses of wine & chatted about this & that......not long enough really , would have been good if they could have stayed over but grateful for the time we had. It was a very nice way to spend our anniversary! Thank you both for the faves!
Well I should fav twice for two of my favourite 365ers. Alison and I were just talking about you meeting up today and saying we thought you'd have a laugh. And congrats on a big anniversary!
@judithg Thank you Judith , you were mentioned too of course, very favourably I might add........we had a ball! Hope you & @fueast had a great day catching up!

Thank you for your kind words.....we enjoyed a very pleasant lunch....it's an amazing thing meeting other 365ers from around the world.
Great for you two to meet up, you getting quite a list of 365 peps you have meet in flesh.. you will have a friend in every town of NZ soon.. such a great community for building friendships.. and great you are enjoying some good kiwi wine...
Well, here we are with a full face portrait of us both! It was so nice to be with you Pat and hear and see you in the flesh! We had so much to share and knew so much about each other - not always with any friends! Photographs share more than technology and good settings!
How wonderful for you both to meet up like this , this is a beautiful shot of you both, and a double whammy to be also celebrating your wedding Anniversary . Congratulations on the latter and many more Happy years ahead !
What a happy shot and lovely to meet up with other 365ers. Hopefully you will meet up again in NZ one day. congrats on the wedding anniversary. What a milestone.
It is so neat to meet up with friends, and in most cases I have read when this happens, friendship is just what it is, and whether it is on paper or in person, the hearts have already met and bonded.
incredible , two 365'ers from across the world meet up together. You hear stories about the internet and the bad side of social networking, but this image proves that social networking does work. Two beautiful 365 friends
What an occasion - sorry I missed this one earlier. Such a warm photo of you both. How lovely that you met after 4 years of getting to know each other via 365! Congratulations on the wedding anniversary too. 52 years - wow!
