Your nerves were understandable, I would be just the same. I would hate to disappoint too, so far I have relied on the anonymity that the blog gives me! I don't know Emma but I know Michele through her amusing posts, friendly correspondence and thoughtful gestures. What a fun person she is and surely a joy to meet. xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.com
