I think I have a jinx.<br />I could almost believe we have been at different conferences Gill - due to different talks of course. I am struggling to keep up - even less follow all the good advice on marketing via blogs and twitter. I did enjoy the talk on family trees though and think I could find inspiration there. In fact I did try some time ago and may try again. <br />Jenny if I have a strap line it would have to be "characters who rise to the occasion" because mine come up with so many problems without warning me first.Gwen Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201272628774727921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-42513198691018467682012-07-24T21:05:25.485+01:002012-07-24T21:05:25.485+01:00Alison - Daniel Craig didn't feature in our co...Alison - Daniel Craig didn't feature in our conversations, fortunately.

Daniel Craig scored highly in the romantic hero conversations I was part of, but I really don't see the attraction myself.<br /><br />I also learnt that wine is not my friend... there was probably other stuff too, but the wine made it hazy ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-60948632853943282742012-07-23T18:13:53.494+01:002012-07-23T18:13:53.494+01:00Were you only there for the day Gilly?
