Indeed the pub was the 'Sherlock Holmes'-a nice touch really-and it is near Hungerford Bridge. A photograph of the two GMG members was taken by a kind passer-by on the bridge. I hope that it has come out well :)

A nice pub - in a quiet, very narrow street but very close to Charing Cross station. The pub features a mock up of Holmes's room at 221b Baker Street, complete with wax figures.

I hope that my photos will be back by Saturday. I have not yet reached the digital age  ::)

Upon my meeting a GMG member face to face, I discovered we looked very much alike.
Is that their ears, for real?  :o

You really should give away all these digital cds that you have been smuggling into your house over the years, Jeffrey ;D

There are one or two of us who would happily relieve you of all this new-fangled technology and allow you to stick with your LPs ;D ;D

Good point Colin - the CDs though do have their advantages, as they are easier to smuggle into the house than LPs  ;D

BRAGA SANTOS EXPERTS IN LONDON!
Here is a photo of the famous meeting in London last Saturday. Left to right - vandermolen (Jeffrey - looking cheerful), Katy (vandermolen's wife - clearly enjoying the discussion about Arthur Butterworth's First Symphony) and Dundonnell (Colin) in the Sherlock Holmes pub, near Charing Cross. Happy memories - More photos to follow.

A pity that the fellow customer who took the photo did not centre it better ;D A potentially good photo of the Dutch Braga Santos experts and guests taken in a restaurant in Amsterdam was spoiled by camera shake :(

Still.......a nice record of a very pleasant meeting :) Look forward to the other photos :)

As vandermolen was the photographer with this next one it is obviously a more sophisticated 'art-type' photo ;D

And here we are again - another off centre photo taken by a kindly member of the public. The London Eye and Houses of Parliament in the background:

Excellent!

(Now must rush off to begin preparing a dinner party for tonight :) I have never cooked partridges before and am very conscious that I must not OVERCOOK the birds ;D)

Bit dark, but nice atmospheric sunset over the Houses of Parliament with Colin.

Interesting.  The books say more about you than the cat does.

No doubt true (although some are my wife's). What do they say?
