Back in June (
on this post, if you're interested), I made the point that I'm somewhat of a documentarian and love taking photographs and keeping a visual record of family, friends and events that link us. What kicked the post off was finding a load of old Convention pics, which all spoke volumes of camaraderie and good friends and they seem to have made a lot of people smile.
So in a similar spirit (and because I'm off to FantasyCon next Friday) and as this is Flashback Friday, here are some more Con pics featuring good friends and good times.

What a great collection! And Ruth Booth is a fabulous name. Wish I'd thought of it for a character.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad to have you in there too! Ruth could feature in the next book - if she's at FCon, I'll introduce you!
