I am sitting in the study in Cornwall having watching the most beautiful sunrise wondering how I got here from there sort of thing. What a week this has been. Celebrated Dh's birthday, had hang over from hell (might there be a connection I wonder?), flew to London, went to a book launch, picked up ds2 and drove to my beloved home! I think I may have left my brain somewhere along the way..........
However it was with sheer joy that I was able to attend the wonderful Caroline Smailes' launch of Black Boxes. It was joyful on sooooooooo many accounts I just have to list them:
-Novel Racers (finally meeting in person Calistro, Leigh, CC, Julliette, Cathy - of course I had met the wonderful Kate Harrison before - lucky me!)
-Meeting Caroline in the flesh
-Catching up with the glorious Biddy
-Meeting Judith who in my jet lagged state I couldn't quite place why I knew her (please forgive me)
-Holding in my hands my own - and signed just for me- copy of Black Boxes which in the flesh, so to speak, is so much more beautiful that the image of the cover portrays on the 'puter screen!
-And finally just the buzz of being a part of a friend's success
I, as always, took a few photos so that I could share the event. I haven't outed the people in them.......see if you can guess.

Oh Liz, thanks so much for posting these photos. (is it ok to copy/paste them as I don't have any photos of the night?)
I kept meeting your eye throughout the reading/Clare's speech and your face was covered in such warmth that I thought I'd cry! Thank you so so much for being there, for being so wonderful and for sharing my launch with me. x
It was a wonderful night! And that Caroline is damn talented!!
Looks fab!
Caroline, I was thrilled to be there. Of course you may cut and paste......but if you want better resolution I can email them to you. i have a few more too which may want but may want to vet :-)
Biddy she is indeed!
It was fab Nell :-)
What lovely photos, thanks for sharing them. I would have loved to have been there but couldn't manage two trips to UK in two weeks, such a shame.
I'll bet that sunrise in Cornwall was gorgeous.
Oh Liz, thank you so much for sharing the pictures. I soooo wish I could've been there to meet you and share a drink with everyone. Brilliant that you enjoyed it so much.
Oh Liz! Thank you so much for sharing those photos! I was so gutted that I couldn't be there myself and seeing the photos helps!
Good to see so many Novel Racers together again!
Looks like it was a good night and Caroline looks fab!
I took my camera but was too embarrassed to use it.
I wish you would identify who's who. I can't believe there were so many people whose blogs I might be reading present and I didn't know. Must go on How to Network course one day.
Wasn't it a wonderful evening? And so lovely to meet you at last Liz :o)
great photos Liz but I am speechless at your life. Do you ever know where you are?!!!! Hope you enjoed this weekend in Cornwall - we walked past Bosloe house this morning and I thought of you!
Liz, can you *hear* your hair hurt? I can.
Not such a good reason for my hangover, either!
Congrats to your freind!
What great pictures! I am starting to recognise a few people, but haven't met them in the flesh yet :o)
Looks like it was a great book launch! Thanks for the wonderful pics!
Sorry I am rather late with my comment. It was great meeting you, having seen your name so often in comments.
Following that night I have added several blogs to my reading list, and I am slowly catching up. It is very useful to have all those lovely photos. Thank you for taking and posting them.
Pierre thanks for dropping by and it was a pleasure to meet you too :-)
