I am to - at last - meet up with Took and Lilybelle  (Florian and annie~) on Saturday, in Vienna.

I have been waiting for this opportunity for a verrrry looooong time and I only have 3 days to go before this dream comes true Cool

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! to meet you Flo and annie~ my teabags and my jar of marmite are packed already!

We are going to have a great (flame red) weekend!

Hi Africam addict

We have a private game reserve in South Africa near a town called Hoedspruit, which is called Vienna, you would all enjoy that Vienna as much as you enjoyed the real one.

Tabs,where is my cake???

In my tummy Roy..... sorry mate, it was too much of a temptation

However, take comfort from the fact that  this decrepit old hobbit really enjoyed the (most delicious) slice of cake (would you deny an old woman her simple pleasures?) and that I will make it up to you one day...... if you are nice to me..... maybe! Cool

I had to leave something behind me to remind you of me - and this  seemed to be the perfect 'something'.....

Dark and sour yet with a certain 'something' - tasty and nourishing maybe? lol

Keep the jar in a very safe place..... it is more powerful than you realise and is sought-after by men of the south, amongst certain 'others'.

You never know when you may need to wield the power, or use the temptation of ....... a jar of marmite!

Thank you so much for the nice words. (I guessed the right amount of bribe money then??) You were a delight to meet, a pleasure to have with us (but you REALLY shouldn’t have left the marmite) and everything we hoped for in a “real life” friend.

Took and Lillybelle have not been able to stop talking about and praising their “Auntie Belladonna” and her wonderful stories of faraway lands. Remember you always have a blanket by the hearth here. Willie sends his fond regards and says something to the effect that it (???) was all a misunderstanding??? Very sorry to hear about the marmalade. (((Hugs)))Tongue out  Cool  Innocent

Hmmmmmm........ did I have a good weekend with Flo & annie~ and Took & Lilybelle????

Nope!

I had an awful(ly)

FANTASTIC WEEKEND

I tried to imagine, before I went to Wien (Vienna) how the weekend would turn out

I knew already, what Flo & annie~ looked like (easy to spot at the airport) as I have visited their photo pages so often and, vaguely, their characters (as I have 'known' them so long via Africam) but..... there is always the 'will we get along in real life' factor to consider!

No worries! Flo and annie~ were the perfect hosts, catering for my every need (including the 'fun' factor'!) and, as for Took & Lilybelle......

After doing the essential 'Touristy stuff' with Flo and annie~, Took, Lilybelle and I stayed up until 2 am every morning re-living Took's adventures with Frodo in Middle Earth.

I even got to meet Gandalf and the Witch King of Angmar in person, though they never acknowledged my presence Frown

It was great meeting you Florian, Annie~, Took & Lilybelle and it was also great (I think?) meeting you too Willie - in spite of your obvious, noisy, disdain for me! Tongue out

( BTW - those horrid airport security ppl made me dump all of my marmalade!)

Dear Roy,

Thank you for the 'heads-up' about the cake in annie~ and Flo's freezer - I found it this morning just before heading to Vienna airport and..............

 ........ it was still fresh as the day it was baked and still as delicious Cool ----------- far better than the airline food!

Sorry Roy Embarassed but the temptation was waaaaaaay too much!
