They had a carvery lunch first and there was lots of talking and laughing going on. When they had finished, they went out into the garden to carry on talking and to take photos.This is the view of the back of the pub and restaurant taken from the garden. It is called the Highwayman's Haunt and is very old.
Alfie took Milo off checking out the gardens while we relaxed on one of the tables with GJ for a while.Eric: I really must tell mum that I think she is overdoing my diet. Even Skinny Flynnie is bigger than me now.
GJ's dad did an impression of Harry Hill and made everybody laugh.
Then the Beans joined us by the table.Back row l to r GJ's dad, our dad, Milo and Alfie's dad.
Front row, our mum and Milo and Alfie's mum, and of course us.
Then we got a bit of cuddling for the next photo.L-R Our dad and Eric, GJ's mum and GJ, our mum and Flynn, GJ's dad.
Then Milo and Alfie came back from exploring the gardens and joined us all for a group photo.
Then we said that is enough of having the Beans in our photos, we wanted one on our own.We didn't get a kitty bag from any food they left but we did get a goody bag each from Milo and Alfie with yummy treats and lovely woolly balls. Thanks Milo and Alfie. Their mum pawed forward the original Dewey book to our mum and when she has read it, she will paw it forward too.
Ginger Jasper's mum knitted a gorgeous shawl for our mum which she said will be ideal for cooler nights on their cruise. (Oh, did we forget to tell you, we are being locked up again in just over a week's time.) And she got a lovely scarf with lots of kitties on it. Dad got a mug with us on it and he loves it! We will show those pictures later because they are on the other camera.

Oh my goodness. What a great meet up! Where is your Mum cruising off to? Would you like to come stay with us?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like every one had a nice time!
ReplyDeleteYour humans certainly had a great time (and my human is envious)! Funny, though... GJ is so much bigger than you two! I thought it would have been the other way 'round.
ReplyDeleteI knew everyone would have a great time and I am so happy that the Flats got to represent you all!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very sweet meeting~!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to know!!!!
We often meet friends here in Taiwan as well, it's always a great pleasure sharing information and funny stories about us with each other.
What great photos~!!! It's wonderful~!
What a wonderful visit, we wish we had "flatties!"
ReplyDeleteLooks like everybody had a good time and got along swell. How nice to meet other super bloggers face to face.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fantastic afternoon, sound like everyone enjoyed themselves very much! Love the flatcat pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful weekend you all had! And in such an historic spot, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was like meeting old friends even though it's the first time you've met in PURRson.
Poor old Eric and Flynn, though -- getting locked up again, already! At least this time it's only for a week.
It looks like your parents had a great time! Our mom is a little jealous - that place looks so beautiful. There is nothing that old around here.
ReplyDeleteWe think it's so wonderful that all your beans got to meet and hang out!
ReplyDeleteA Carvery lunch...Mommy is imagining huge haunches and roasts!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that your Beans got to meet up and the Flats, too! You all look lovely together.
Pee Ess: teleport on over when you get locked up...Daddy won't notice and Mommy won't tell.
That looks like everyone had a great time, including the flat cats! I do think you should have all received a box of food from the restaurant. I wish we could have been there too!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous and so is my mom! I'm glad that at least the flat kitties were able to socialize while the beans were visiting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great get together!
ReplyDeleteWow we wish we could have been there - and gotten the catty bag.
ReplyDeleteAww!! So many cute flat friends!!
ReplyDeleteWe can see everyone had a fabulous time! We're a bit jealous too, we confess. But at least we get to see your photos!
ReplyDeleteSo your mum and dad are going on another cruise? You didn't say where and of course we curious cats want to know!
Oh My Cat(S)... we heard you were all getting together! How totally, absolutely FABULOUS.
ReplyDelete(PS... our ZH was green with envy over this... and has so we're gonna make a FLAT ZH so she can come next time). So glad you all got to meet & have fun together...
That is so great that you all got together. What a great bunch of beans to meet up and have a good time. We love seeing the pictures. Hope all of you have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWe think it's so great that your beans got to meet up with some of the other beans. And how nice that the flats got to go along too!!
ReplyDeleteNow what's this about being locked up again?? Don't your beans like staying home??? ;-)
It looks as though you all had a great time meeting up with each other. The weather was kind to you all as well so we got lots of photos to see. Eric - we are worried about you - do you want us to send you a food parcel cos we think you've lost too much weight now!!
ReplyDeleteluv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Eric and Flynn!!! Your mom is so CREATIVE and funny!!! MOL/LOL

It's so wonderful that all of your beans got to meet. And thanks so much for the photos. You know how much all of your visitors wish we could have joined your mums and dads at the lovely inn.
ReplyDeleteDid you read the menu? It had us meowing with delight! Good food and good company. What more could anyone ask for! (Yes, we know: a kitty treat bag!)
We followed your link to the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIt dates to the 1300's!!!!!!!
The oldest restaurant in our town dates to 1950!
I can see what fun that was! I wish me and my 'rents would have been there!
ReplyDeleteSmoochies!

I think it is so great that you all got together. And in the last photo, the sign says Dogs to be kept on leash, which I think is a very good idea with all you Flat Cats around.
ReplyDelete--Jasper

ReplyDeleteMomma is going on a blogger's cruise in February... she wishes she could cruise every month!
