Lunching with |Dame Vera in a couple of weeks at a 'signing'.

Much thought on how to catch her eye.

Dame Vera?

Miss Lynn?

We dismissed the idea of Aloe Vera!!

Oh lucky, lucky you. Can you put me in your pocket please? Certainly one of my parents favourites and mine. When I saw her on television few months ago she was addressed as Dame Vera. Apparently it was 10years ago when she last sang in public. Wonder if you will be able to take any photos.

Being a Rochdale lass, i am sure she will be happy with whatever one prefers. ;D

I am sure that she will be comfortable in the knowledge that you are :)

Have a fantastic day Tim!

I thought seeing as she is a Dame you should call her Duck's.

Aha! A voice from space. Hope all's going well.

I even had a haircut this am. Now got to decide whether to wear blue or green!!

Not just the person or the voice but, for one, the White Cliffs of Dover were what made our hearts return to normal when returning from a sortie over France.

What a great experience Tim. I'm sure you will have no trouble at all in 'catching her eye'! ;)

An easy way to spoil the illusion (& who cares??) is to view the check list:

1. Clean hankie.

2. Camera batteries.

3. Hearing aid battery.

No - just a damned good hug from all us oldies.

And she's VERY huggable!!

And outlasted me after some 5 hours of chatting & signing.

Two lovely ladies there and half a man, is that you Tim? I am pleased the day went well. I was wondering when the Dame Vera occasion was going to appear again.

Me? No, I was in green & behind the camera! Maybe they'll send me one.

Enjoy? Great to meet Vera - a bundle of fun - but a very long day, with 3 hours driving & 4 hours signing.
