I met a fellow BDer!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A very good one. I had the pleasure of meeting her for breakfast this morning as she passed through London on the way from Scotland to moots with Nordic Downers. Sincerely worth getting up a stupid o'clock to get the first train to London and have breakfast at Victoria Station. It was lovely to see her again and I hope fate will allow our paths to cross again.

Edit. Just in case anyone concerned it was a different part of London to the incidents last night and I was home and Galadriel was due to fly out long before.

So sorry to have missed you, Galadriel.

But very glad that you met three worthy Downers, and that everyone is safe.

(Edit: more than three, and rising!)

Galadriel55 · 06-11-2017, 02:07 PM

Yes, rising and to hopefully rise some more still. I have finally made my way past Rune, and then to the legendary land of moots where I met Agan, Lommy, Legate, Greenie, and Nogrod. When I was there I kept accidentally calling them by their Downs screen names, and now I've almost called them by their real names. I have now been properly initiated into the world of moots.

Are you back home now? I hadn't been visiting the Downs until Mithalwen alerted me to movement on the Password thread, so I missed your travel plans, unfortunately.

Not quite, but I won't be in the UK again.

Don't know where or when, but we will meet. Some sunny day.

Indeed, we have had the chance to host Galadriel55 during the previous week for several days and it's been worth the wait

Or, okay, not saying it wouldn't have been nicer if it had happened even earlier

But we've had fun, it was really nice to meet her and now her collection of 'Downers she met has just grown dramatically, I therefore feel safe to claim that this has been a successful 'Downer meeting. Well, I certainly hope this trend will continue!
