Friends

I met with Jan, Rosie, Ami and our friend from across the pond, Minelle, in London last Thursday and what a time we had. The poor waitress kept coming over to see if we were ready to order lunch but because of all the talking, laughing and gift exchanging we kept having to say no, sorry not ready yet. She was lovely and patient with us.  The time just flew by and before we knew it, it was time to head home.

I was given lovely gifts (thank you) This is one of them.

Isn't it lovely. Minelle is one talented lady.

I think you can guess what I gave them.....

You guessed it -  a small OTK cane. 

I hope they have fun having it used and find out that not all canes are evil:)

They are all terrific ladies. Smart, intelligent, caring, friendly, funny, really very very nice. Thank you ladies. I hope it won't be too long before we get together again.

Have a good week everyone.

Love,

Spanko Ladies

You may have read an earlier post about me going to meet a group of spanko ladies. Jan, Rossie, Ami, DF and Ella. We met in our capital city. It was a delight. They are a great bunch of women. Ella came from across the pond and it was her who organised this lunch. Thank you for that Ella. We're all thinking of you.

Ami took some great pictures which I enjoyed showing to P and would so love to share here in blogland but of course I won't. We talked and talked and all got on so well. I felt like I'd know these ladies for ages. Time went far too quickly but before we left, when there weren't so many people around us we exchanged gifts, laughs and thanks followed.  I bet you can guess the gifts I received ......and as you can probably imagine many were related to our shared interest:)

Not one 
(perfect size for your handbag:))

not two

not three

but four kitchen implements

One even had my name on it which was lovely and thoughtful. 

I  mentioned that I was tempted to give each a gift of a cane and one of the girls told me that she had said to her husband if I gave her a cane she would refuse it. How ungrateful would that have been:) 

We don't generally use kitchen implements for spanking in our house (except for the odd opportunistic swat) so I added them to the stone jar we keep on the kitchen counter with other regularly used kitchen implements. My husband, who does more than his share of the cooking and has an eagle eye, soon spotted the newcomers and has already tested a couple of them 'out of interest'. His favourite so far is the long lovely wicked wooden spoon which he tested on me in the kitchen and declared worthy of a place under the mattress after he heard the yelps it produced with hardly any effort. I never realised wooden spoons packed such a wallop, perhaps it's the extra long handle with the added leverage or maybe it's the type of wood or the sculpting of the bowl, I honestly can't say. But it's definitely severely ouchy! So you won't mind if I take back my 'thank you', Ami:)

Jay Peaches gave us a copy of her book.

If you haven't read any of Jaye's books I suggest you remedy that straight away as she is a very good writer.

It was a lovely day and look forward to meeting up again.

Have a fun weekend.

Friends and Holidays

I had the most amazing day yesterday meeting up with Jan, Ami, Ella, DelFonte and Rosie. Shame it wasn't a longer meet as time just flew by. They're all terrific ladies. Smart, intelligent, caring, funny, really very very nice and just so lovely.

Thank you ladies for such a wonderful and special day and for the gifts.

So today - depending on what time you're reading this post....

I could be up in the air on a Ryanair flight 

maybe having a little outdoor fun

or cooling down with a dip in the pool

See you when I get back.

Short Break

Just wanted to let you know I wont be around blogland for a couple of weeks. No problem just that I am out today until late evening. Tomorrow I am going to London to meet five bloggers for the first time and then early Wednesday we are off on holiday.

I have scheduled posts so keeping fingers crossed they work.

See you when I get back. Hope you wont miss me too much:)

Have a good week

Welcome - Love our Lurkers 7

Welcome one and all. Come on in, grab a chair and join me. 

Today is the 7th Annual Love Our Lurkers Day - a day just for you our wonderful lurkers.

I love comments, both giving and receiving.  Sometimes I can't think of anything profound to say, and that's OK.  

We are a friendly bunch of bloggers and were lurkers ourselves so we do know how hard it is so please, don't be bashful, de-lurk, no names, no long story just a simple hello would be nice but I know that some of you for one reason or another will never leave a comment and that's fine by me as well. 

So I raise my glass to toast you, my unidentified readers! I am grateful for your visits and appreciate the time you spend reading this blog.

Now pop over to Bonnie's. She has a list of bloggers who'd also love to hear from you.

Have a fun weekend.

Spanking Parties

Spanking parties have always interested me and I've enjoyed reading the recent reports on the Shadow Lane party. I was going to email a few bloggers who attended to ask a couple of questions but then I thought others might be interested too so why not post. 

Now my questions may sound silly but nevertheless I'm going to ask and would be delighted if some of you who attended (or anyone who has attended other events) would have time to answer.

I am of course asking as a newbie (which I would be), wanting to attend (which I might be) :)

1. If you've never attended one before - do you just go along and go up to the.. Maitre d'..?../organiser and introduce yourself.  Is there any protocol?

2. How do you let others know you would like to spank or be spanked? Do you just go right up to them and ask? Do some wear badges with their name and preferences, specialities  experience etc? 

3. If you've agreed to be spanked by someone you've never met until that day - how do you go about letting them know how much you can take/what implements/ safeword. With so many different preferences, tolerances etc, do you go off and agree more or less what's on and what's off (might be a bit clinical) or do you 'trust' someone you've maybe never met before (might be exciting dangerous) and also what about the safeword, who chooses it, is it a prerequisite, is it sacrosanct?

4. What happens if you're OTK and someone goes a little too far and doesn't stop even though you want it to, by safewording or some creep lets his hand wander where they shouldn't?  Is there a referee or do you give them a kick and tell them in no uncertain terms what you think of them?

5. Can you attend and not participate?

I'd love to know, I really would.
