I find myself at the tail end of a rather interesting weekend.  It started with a lot of well deserved sleep, and then I found myself in the company of a group of people who I had only really known on the Internet.  Yes, i attended a tweet-up as they are known!  This one was not particularly well publicised, and for all the right reasons.  I cannot go into too much detail as to the reasons for the meeting either, but needless to say, some of it will hit the headlines at some point soon.  It was good to meet some like minded people, and chew the fat as it were.  It also depressed me to hear quite how much power can corrupt, and quite how far people are willing to go to protect that power.  Much as I would love to become involved more in this "Project", I also have to realise that this is "Playing with the big boys" and as such, comes with inherent dangers.  I sat and listened to some horrible stories of broken lives as a result of some well known people's behaviour, and it made me realise how careful you have to be.  For my part, I shall be an active, but cautious, protester.  Yesterday we met our friends from Oop North for a quick cup of tea and a catch up.  They also brought their granddaughter, which was so very lovely.  We hope to see them all again very soon.  The weather seems to have taken a turn for the better, and I intend on spending at least some f what is left of the bank holiday in the garden.
