I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting some of my friends in the Romantic Novelists’ Association.
Lovely reminders of a wonderful night! Thanks, Liz!
It was a lovely evening, wasn’t it? I enjoyed re-living the party when I sorted out the pics.
Great pictures Liz – a fabulous night – thanks for sharing! X
I note a slight blurry haze in some of the pictures, was that after the champagne?! I’m always so sorry to miss these parties, you all look so happy.
Great pictures Liz, thanks.
Many thanks for your comments, Debs, Sarah T and Sarah C.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the pics. I had fun taking them – except for when I tipped the camera to get it at the right angle, and tipped my glass of champagne down the front of my dres at the same time. Such a waste!!
Thanks for the pics
You’re all looking good.Sorryto have missed the celebrations. See you at the Winter gathering.Leah
I look forward to seeing you there, Leah, or perhaps even at an event before that. All of the RNA parties are great fun.
Great pics Liz!

Liz, Marte, Anita, Lizzie, Jan – many thanks for your comments on the photos. I’ve very much enjoyed looking at the pics taken by others, and I hope that others enjoy looking at my pics. Roll on the next RNA occasions for photos!
What a great night it was! Thanks Liz for the photos-I had my camera in my bag and didn’t take any which is a shame. It was lovely to see you.
Great photos Liz, Its always great to relive RNA events through other peoples’ camera lenses. Thanks for the two photographs. Must let Cathy Mansell know that she’s in one of your photographs. Hope to see you soon.
Fab photos, Liz. Thanks for posting. Always a pleasure to re-live an RNA party. It really was a great night x
Love these pics. Wish I had been there too. x
Many thanks for the comment, Carol. It’s such a shame that you weren’t there – it was a lovely party. The atmosphere in the room was terrific.
Great to see all the photos Liz. Reminder of a wonderful evening especially for the winners
Evonne and Jane. Congratulations to them both. Those who didn’t make it due to Midland train strike missed out on a great party.
Many thanks for your comment, Cathy. I thought it a very nice photo of you, and I’m glad you did, too. At least, I assume that you did – after all, you’re still speaking to me!!
Super picks Liz and a great event. But for anyone who didn’t make this one, they’re all great and held all over the country.
That’s absolutely right, Cara. To illustrate thge point – the next pics wil come from Penrith.
Fabulous pictures Liz! It’s lovely to see them and relive the party.
Hi, Rhoda! It was fun putting them up, though it took me an age. The practice will stand me in good stead, though, for the conference. I intend to take loads of pics there. I love having a pictorial record of RNA events.
Lovely pictures, Liz. Thanks for taking them.
Many thanks, Jane. I look forward to another such opportunity.
