I bet Kate Winslet and co don't have that problem after the Oscars!<br /><br />Thanks Christy - the daughter is a very talented poet. (I like to think it's because of all the angst of having me for a mother.)<br />The goody bags were a very pleasing addition to what's always a fab occasion - although of course the best bit was getting together with everyone. (Did that sound convincing? Don't want it to look like I'm all about the chocolate and champagne... though probably everyone who reads this blog will know the truth!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072783485818273641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045808112442355708.post-48466965793561125332012-09-23T08:36:57.075+01:002012-09-23T08:36:57.075+01:00Hi India

The lovely message Mark Grist wrote in her poetry notebook was the highlight of the event though - better than first prize!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072783485818273641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045808112442355708.post-38433263457452630922012-09-18T01:13:48.487+01:002012-09-18T01:13:48.487+01:00What a brilliant weekend.
