If you knew somebody was going you'd rush down and see them quick whatever it took, and give them a big hug and say don't leave us! There's never enough time and you never know when the last moment will be so we should treasure all the moments. We'll miss you Pokerkitten you clever, funny person who always appreciated my daftness and doings. I will miss you loads. Does this mean I can post any pics of you now you can't complain? (((belated HUGE hug))) Hope you are in Heaven, if so save me a place.

That's such a lovely photo and with PK right in the centre as she should be.

Was that really 2005?!
I loved PK acerbic wit, and the way she managed all our diversity and different views with the firm but fair guidelines for the forum which allowed us to have completely different views but respect each other. We came together because of the James love but that was a smaller part in the end
PK was so supportive and encouraging when l was going through some very difficult personal times and l was really hoping to be of more help to her if she had been able to move to Sussex

I was looking at some older threads, specifically Farm Town. PK really enjoyed 'farming'. We had such a good time visiting each other's farm. It all seems so long ago now but happy memories remain.

I've got to look out for some of the pics I have and share them. She was an important part of all of our lives, we love her and will miss her dearly. Ditto, remember when she first started this board she was very particular about everyone posting in the right thread, and you and I would comment on something, but then start talking about something else, and she would come on, and with her 'broom' sweep away our naughty posts, and fuss us for not using the proper thread. She kept us in line, for sure, and we enjoyed it, the belonging somewhere that you knew you had friends that would be glad to see you post, and hear about your day, good or bad. And that's a wonderful thing...

Coming on here is the first thing I do every morning. It's my quiet time before the house awakens. Everyone on here has been part of my life for so long now. We may not see each other but we are all still good friends and PK made that happen. It's a lovely feeling to have the close connection we share.

It's the first place I come to as well P. I wonder what happens to PKs accounts now, like LiveJournal and her Farm? M I do remember that, for ages I couldn't for some reason get onto the forum so I think she got this one that I could get onto. She made me feel really wanted.

What a smashing photo Deedee 💖 I was remembering the first time I met PK, which was at Milton Keynes just after that photo was taken. Funnily enough D actually met her before I did as he’d picked her up at home to bring her down to MK, I’d traveled down a day or two before by train. It was like I’d known her for years and her friendliness and humour was second to none. D and PK got on like a ‘house on fire’ and she took a liking to his liquorice ciggies and the pair of them would often sneak off for one and a good blether. Thank goodness we have each other to talk to and that’s all down to PK

Remember when she went to Las Vegas? She bought me a bag which I used for ages. I first took it to the Blackpool con and Twisty said that's how she recognised me. I look so happy on that pic. I was happy...best year ever. I wish we could do it all over again and be fit and healthy and go to all the cons and gigs.

I didn't register until 2004 so sadly missed a lot of the cons when PK was more active. I think I first met her in Milton Keynes. Is that MK in the photo? . I wish I'd met you all earlier. Thank goodness for gin and tonic and Night Nurse in the bar of the Brighton Centre.

It was the first time we met, it was my first time away to a con 😊. I’d been in London with NN and Pix before we came down to MK . Jings was it another year before I met you Rainbow I thought it was sooner.

I liked how we used to meet new peoples and presumed we'd known them forever.

Yeah I met Ditto and the sistas in Berlin 2014 , coming back from a con and we started talking like we'd known each other for ever and they told me about BS I was a bit shy in posting and PK was great when I posted on the board and it was as though I'd always been here Love that photo Teebs

Did you mean 2004 DeeDee? I wish I'd been to that con. What a great meet up for you. I love how James has brought us all together and the forum board has made it possible for us to keep the friendships going.
I can't believe that I was shy about posting and lurked for a while before registering. Best thing I did was to take the plunge.

I don't have any photos of PK, so, I'm loving reminiscing vicariously through all of your pics. As I said in the Prattle thread, I stayed with PK in 2007 and will treasure the memory. She was a true individual with a great sense of humour. I bet, wherever she is, she is keeping those around her entertained!
