Greenfinch, how lovely to have had such an encounter. They truly were your guardian angels today. ? I do hope that you enjoyed your meetup, albeit slightly delayed, and on a scorching day too. Thanks for sharing.

That is lovely! Young people get a bad press but often are really lovely!

It was so good to meet you Greenfinch. Yes I can vouch for the angels as they came into Cafe Nero to check you had met your "friends". Its so good that younger people were prepared to help an older (sorry!) person. A lot is said about the younger generation but these ones showed that "one size doesnt fit all"!

I am usually on top of things but today was a bad day.

I was due to meet other GN's in Staines and had got it into my mind that we were meeting in Costa.I got to the station and asked for advice only to be told that there were three but none was in the High Street where we had agreed to meet. Undaunted, I visited two of them and asked various people who were wearing pink and black with glasses (HAZBEEN's description of herself) if they had come to a GN meet up. Stupidly I had forgotten to take anyone's phone number. One of those dressed in pink and black and looking much younger than a GN member was sitting with her friends and they took pity on me after I had wandered up and down for twenty minutes. They said they would keep an eye open and what did my friend look like. I said I had never seen her before. They asked me what her name was so I had to explain about GN and said I did not know her real name only her user name which I did not reveal. They asked me for my name which I told them.

Another twenty minutes passed and when I returned they called me by name and said that I was in the wrong place. They had looked it up on GN and found that I should have been at café Nero. They told me where it was and I set off. Twenty minutes later they appeared to check I had met up with the others.What kind young people there are in Staines.

I call them angels (messengers) as without them I would have missed out on the meet up altogether.blush
Has anyone else met any angels recently ?
