London for the YouTube Meetup

My family travelled with me to London yesterday and we visited the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels!

Then I went off to the YouTube meetup at the Dicken's Inn with AndyMooseman. We had a superb time which is why I forgot to get my camera out and take more footage - sorry! I haven't put the names on for everyone 'cos Smithysrat was recording everyone there and he'll have some good footage.

Thanks to everyone who was there for making it such a great first meetup for me. I can't wait to do it again! Cheers, Lesley

Terry is such a warm guy I was amazed by how down to earth and friendly he was. He kept getting up and clearing tables of glasses LOL! Paul was fab too, I had to sub on the strength of the meeting, it's the cheeky grin. Cheers, Lesley

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Lesley! I would love to see London some day. :)

I haven't been to the Tower of London since I was a kid and half the crown jewels were out on loan or being cleaned that visit. This visit was one of my best ever, though the venue was great, it was the people making it really special. One day Betty, you never know what life will bring. Cheers, Lesley

Glad you enjoyed it Lesley:)

It really exceeded my expectations. I was amazed by how relaxed it was and also how everyone got along so easily. I watch vids from many of the people there so wasn't surprised it was like meeting up with old friends. However, there were a lot that I got to know for the first time there, yet still felt like I'd known them years! Kindred spirits. Cheers, Lesley

I have to admit Lesley that the meetup looked a bit nerdish during the earlier part of the vid, but your comment at the end was so warm and so glowing it convinced me that the meetups are worthwhile. I wonder if it would be possible to arrange them nationwide so that every You Tuber can attend meetings in their own area. Or does that sound too much like Alcoholics Anonymous?

that would certainly be an interesting chat...hopefully at the next one.

I'm not sure my carbon footprint is anything to be proud of...i drive a big van all over the country every day!! :s

Darn it's eating comments again! They do seem to happen quite often in the UK but the crowd who go seems to depend on who organises it, so I wouldn't want to go to just any event. All the nuances of conversation like tone and expression show on video. It's not like meeting someone you've only had textual communication with! Andy and I both feel our gut instincts are still working with video contact. I had so much fun. See you soon, hug your doggies from me. Cheers, Lesley
