Yes, I do think that we need to think of ideas and DFEY-SE would need
ideas for itself, not just be completely identical to DFEY-NW
otherwise, as you rightly said, that is not going to make much sense
as it is in the SE.

Yes, sorry, I don't think I was particularly quick in replying to that email.

I could come to London quite easily I think once I find my feet in
Surrey and get out a bit and know where I am, it's only about an hour
away by train or even by car I think.  Where abouts is Connor in the
SE (maybe off list?)?  I'm looking forward to having regular IRL
meetings if this all works out!

Isabell.
