Re: preston guild 2012
Jen - I looked on the website and it looked like a really good day today - would love to have gone. Trying to keep away from crowds and avoid infection at the moment as I'm having chemotherapy.
Glad you had a good time and enjoyed the food! Look forward to seeing the pics.

Re: preston guild 2012
Jen be careful with the number of pics - Mick limited it to ten on the today in pictures thread - he may do the same on here. Frustrating isn't it when you've got so many!
