BABEs in the Park

[enitharmon]

It was a speculative idea to invite bookcrossers to meet for a Bay Area Bookcrossing Encounter (BABE) under the Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park, Lancaster, and right up to the stroke of noon yesterday, as I shivered in a chilly breeze, I was wondering if anybody would turn up. But they did, and the day must be counted a success.

The Ashton Memorial - which I like to think of as Lancashire's answer to the Taj Mahal - will be familiar to travellers on the M6 and the West Coast Main Line. I'd never seen it close up before but it is pretty impressive.

Round the table, clockwise from left: Alison (Blaze30), her partner Chris, Jenny (Jalna), Willa (the younger of the two Mouseorganmice), Claire (Clairemagnolia), Norm (Normy). Not visible in the picture are Owen, the elder Mouseorganmouse, Claire's partner Steve, Norm's partner John, and the dogs Sally/Pog and Feisty the HonoraryBCDog, who was busy flinging herself at everybody in the park in hopes of making friends.

I think I can just see Feisty under the table!
