Blue Cavern

Well I'm shattered! Not only was yesterday great fun if exhausting but I've just edited all the photos! Duckie and Denise are lovely, lovely people and I had a wonderful day! They have quite a smurf collection too, not to mention Sylvesters and I wish now I'd taken pics of the Sylvesters and Tweety Pies too. Never mind, there are loads of pics for you to see anyway.

After fish and chips we opened my birthday pressies. It's my birthday next week in case I haven't mentioned it. The ladies gave me this lovely selection:





Then there was chatting and gossiping and ebaying and cheesecake and, of-course, the smurfy tour! I was impressed! You can see why:



































































Unfortunately I couldn't fit this mirror under my jumper.

And here are the ladies themselves.

Denise:

Awwwwwww seems like you had a smurfy day, Hilary!!! Wish I had been with you!!!

Man, Duckie's collection looks fab.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Awesome collection, Duckie and Denise....it sounds like you three had a great time together. I wish I could take off in the middle of the day in the middle of the week I especially like Duckie's apron too....did she cook a smurfy meal, Hil? How many smurfs did you make off with? I'm sure they would never notice How far away do you all live from each other? Thanks for sharing too!!

that is one amazing collection, DD...and great to see a picture of the two of you Where is the picture of Hilary though?

It looks like you had great fun..thanks for sharing it with us

did she cook a smurfy meal, Hil? How many smurfs did you make off with? I'm sure they would never notice How far away do you all live from each other? Thanks for sharing too!!

erm Staci I am glad to have taught you well....firing off questions in the best Mosey fashion It really warms my heart

and saves me from asking a lot of questions

Duckie, i love your collection, very nicely displayed ! And its great to see Denise getting involved too !

Glad you had a nice time Hilary, but that was always going to happen with Duckie, she's a corker

It is great you had a nice and funny day at Duckie´s!!!!!!Great collection, great pics and great smurfers!!!!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

I would like to have collectors near home to share our experiences, but at this mment only JON has seen my collection!!!!!!

Wow, that sure is a lot of smurfs.

That is a fantastic collection, I'm in awe

Great to read of your outing to Sharon & Denises house..they have a great collection..Happy Birthday for next week (I like to get my congrats in early)

I'll be in touch with you to come see some of my collection (the rest is in Nottingham)..we can have a smurfy evening with DVDs etc..I've been waiting for a few 'special' things to arrive before I invite you properly

I wish I could take off in the middle of the day in the middle of the week

None of us work due to ill health so finding the time to meet up isn't a problem. Finding the money, on the other hand...

I especially like Duckie's apron too....did she cook a smurfy meal, Hil?

She does a great fish and chips from the local take away and a great cheesecake from Sainsbury's!

How many smurfs did you make off with? I'm sure they would never notice

I did make off with a couple of history smurfs but she wing slapped me till I paid for them. The feathers tickled!

How far away do you all live from each other? Thanks for sharing too!!

Not sure in miles/kms but it took about an hour to get into London by train (Liverpool Street) and then another 20 mins for the connecting train to Duckville. Not so far that we can't meet up again but not so close that we can do it every week. They're driving up to see me in a few weeks.

Where is the picture of Hilary though?

I had control of the camera!

That would be awesome Steve! Duckie's Smurfy DVD hasn't arrived yet so we couldn't watch it yesterday. Not that we would have had time!

Glad you all enjoyed the pics folks. Don't where Duckie is - I must have worn her out!

Great pictures Hilary

And a great collection too Lots of nice things there I spotted

WOW , what a beautiful collection Duckie !!

Thank you for the pictures Hilary !!

I love the black shelf!! wonderfull collection and so nicely displayed



gerda

wonderful pictures Hilary! and a great collection Sharon!!

Hello everyone - I am back!!!! Unfortunately, I have had a bad migraine most of the day. Therefore, I have been out of action.......BUT, you can't keep a good smurfer down......so here I am!!!

First of all, I would like to thank Hilary for posting all the pics of our collection - thanks, Hilary! I would like to add though that I am totally 'un-photogenic'!! The smurfs look good though! But, they always do!

Thank you for all your nice comments.

@ Steve, spending a smurfy evening with you would be terrific!

Great photo`s! And I love that smurfy apron!!

None of us work due to ill health so finding the time to meet up isn't a problem.

Awww, I wish that weren't so but it is great that you all were able to get together - I think you could do it every two weeks then since it's not that far but too far for once a week

Great idea Staci! And you'd have been proud of the Duck. She didn't leave me alone with the main collection for one second!!
