Bloggers on Tour: the West Yorkshire leg

I am very lucky.  I have wonderful friends.  We’ve met through various press trips and blogger events and have become so close.  We share endless laughs, long emails and silly Twitter conversations.  Less lucky, though, is that fact that we are spread out across the British Isles, so every so often, we get together – it’s become known as ‘Bloggers on Tour’ or BOT for short.  Last year it was Irish BOT, and this year, last weekend in fact, we went up to Laura‘s in West Yorkshire for ‘WYBOT’.  Sadly, we’re a diminished bunch as lovely Linda wasn’t able to join us.  Next time we hope it will be all of us, but until then, here’s a précis of the weekend’s events:

There was amaaaazing food, courtesy of Laura’s hubby Andy, who is a great cook (and also designs this very website):

There were double decker doggits:

There were lots of cuddles:

…a bit of swinging (no, not THAT sort of swinging!):

A bit of culture in the form of the David Hockney exhibit at Salt’s Mill (more of this fab place later)…

and of course there was cackling, drinking and quite a bit of silliness… (this is Erica again, with Laura’s sis, Mrs Worthington, and the gorgeous Fenngirl)

and here’s Ellie, Laura, Liz and.. wait, Erica AGAIN!

And oh, okay, here’s my moustache shot (either side of me are Fenngirl and Tara):

Here we are altogether:

And here we are having a little nap.  Look how well we fit together!  Laura’s niece said it was like ‘blogger Tetris’:

We’re all having a bit of a come down now it’s over.   Next we’re planning on a meet up at Erica’s in Scotland… SCOTBOT anyone?

Oh, and seeing as Tara’s Photo Gallery theme this week is ‘Friends’, I’ve entered. Pop over and see all the other entries here.

  7. I hadn’t even thought to write about the people I have met through blogging – it all seems much too recent. But thinking about it I have some amazing friends because of the blog :)
