It's not an event I'm ever likely to forget.

It disrupted many people's plans, but it also made some good memories...
Best wishes,

Indeed! We really enjoyed our extended stay in your lovely country. Our hosts were unbelievably welcoming. The guided tours we had were equally brilliant.

We're away at the moment, but within the UK so if another Icelandic volcano goes off, we'll be OK.

And yet, did we forget 15 years since Eileen's Lounge was founded?

I may have missed a celebratory post, but the earliest post I can find is January 2010.

Correct - Eileen's Lounge was created on the 15th of January 2010, and it went public on the 24th (or one day earlier depending on your time zone).

I admit we forgot to commemorate this in January. :sad:
Best wishes,
Hans

As I recall, "I'd like another yoghurt" is quite close!
