On Wednesday evening we became nine: the final piece of the BlogCon25 jigsaw - in the shape of Khayem - dropped into place. Nine good bloggers and true (we'd been eight the previous night) met in one of Bristol's oldest hostelries and thus we etched, indelibly, our imprint upon the South West; we'd conquered Newcastle & the North East the year before, now it was time to carve the name of another unsuspecting city on our collective headboard.
Due to the anonymity of my fellow scribblers I'm sworn to secrecy regarding the identities of this year's cohort. Suffice it to say, if you look carefully at the above photograph I'm sure you can deduce the runners and riders. And if you're still struggling then I suggest you trawl back thru my pre-convention Delegates' Q&As.
What I can tell is that my three favourite taverns in the town were: The Bridge Inn (three dark beers, two types of pickled eggs, great music and original framed gig posters on the walls - including Generation X at Chutes in June 1977), The King's Head and The Cornubia.
I can also advise that my favourite breakfast caff/cafe was The Crafty Egg (very Omelegg, Amsterdam), and (wait for it) I walked north of 30,00 steps in just two days. In other news, Ernie, newly christened Ernesto Del Fuego III, is in need of a new gag writer.

Thank you to everyone who made the pilgrimage and I look forward to seeing you all next year when BlogCon26 will be pitching up in Amsterdam. Oh, and a final thank you to C for the fabulous BlogDolls and Alyson & Roddy for the equally fab key rings.
