What a lovely write-up. You have many talents and your writing is one of them. So happy you had the best time with the best people. Great photos too. X
A brilliant indepth and funny description of the birthday weekend Abi! There were so many different people to talk to.They are a fabulous bunch of like minded people.
Ledbury, and The Barn venue, is a special kind of place too.A very quiet town with an old soul atmosphere and an undercurrent of something mysterious...The magnificent Malvern Hills nearby have a strong dominating presence all around there.
I'm so glad that I got to the Birthday Bash and to that part of the world.It was a fabulous weekend😎❤️Xx
Thank you, dear Catherine! Delighted you and Clodagh enjoyed the weekend. Ledbury is indeed a magical, mystical place. It’s a beautiful part of the world. No wonder Elgar wrote such magnificent music. Xx
Abi, you get us out and about. I'm ashamed to say that we haven't been getting out there as much as previous years.We now have the confidence again ❤️😃Xx
Abi- an excellent description of Saturday night and your birthday weekend-I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed chatting to all the gorgeous, interesting people celebrating with you. I look forward to next time and a year of hearing your honest commentary and thoughts. Anna x- shouty’s friend
Sounds like the best Abi and thank you for your vivid description. What a great friend Jules is too. So pleased your birthdays have become a proper rightful and real Celebration 🤗✨💝🥂
Will says THANK YOU for the shout-out 😉. You have made his day/weekend/year. He thinks you're even more cool now, Abi! When he went to school on Monday his mates asked what he got up to at the weekend and he cooly said he hung out with a famous comedienne & podcaster, a political cartoonist, and a photographer & photojournalist! They looked at him with perplexed expressions and said "haha, in your dreams!". He replied....."I sh*t you not guys!"
Apologies Abi for our verbal diarrhoea on Saturday evening - a mixture of excitement, nerves and too much caffeine. I'm afraid we bent the ear of the lovely Bob too long as well. We had a great chat about our political system being two cheeks of the same arse and it was brilliant to see his cartoon in the week expressing this.
We watched Bob's brilliant show on Sunday 'on the big telly' - it was fantastic.
We don't meet many 'awake' people, so it was a pleasure to converse with other members of the Abi Daily Fam in person and look forward to doing it again one day maybe.
Best wishes,
Jen & Will
P.S. hope you liked the card of our cathedral, Abi.
A great write up of a great day (and night). So good to meet so many wonderful people. Me and Bear had a blast. Thanks Abs for making these wonderful gatherings possible 🙏😘 xx

Thank you, Lesley. Really glad you enjoyed reading. I’ll give much more notice for next year. 🥰
>Even if you’re a bit of a cunt, I’ll still probably invite you. This year there were several young people there...
Abi I genuinely expected you to write "This year there were several cunts there..."
(and then list their names).
Looks awesome. Thanks for the write up.
There were lots of good cunts there. Nobody committed the cardinal sin of shitting in the soufflé. 😁
Sounds absolutely wonderful and the photos are amazing 🍾🌞🤗
❤️🙏
