Lots of lovely people in the world.

And I met lots of them today.

From the fabulous team at blogcamp who set up a great free conference for bloggers. (Thank you Sally. Great cake. And I love my new Cross pen, from the lovely sponsors. The Yoomoo frozen yogurt was good too.)

Although there were a lot of people I was sad to miss, there were lots of lovely bloggers to chat and eat cake with. Particular thanks to Mummylimited for navigational skills in the morning, Maggie from RedTedArt for fetching me food and drink, and Another Goldfish and MummyGadgetGeek for company afterwards.

Nice to see Estelle who remembered me from a Build a Bear trip a good couple of years ago, and was on a thought provoking panel discussion in the afternoon.

And then thank you to the people who offered to carry my bag, stood up to give me their seat on the platform, were friendly on delayed trains, and cold platforms. A long day made longer by a broken train, but bearable by smiles.

A smile goes a long way. Smile at someone unexpectedly tomorrow. You might make their day.
