Got pointed at the side entrance by someone inside, and seconds later I was in! 
....... Once again, a very enjoyable experience, amongst very friendly people. |

Why didn't you open the terrasse ? It was a nice day (cold, I know but bright).
Oh well maybe next time. |
I'm
so sorry you didn't get to come in. Believe me, your immediate impression [discomfort] didn't reflect the goodwill and welcome waiting for you inside. But like you, I was a tad concerned for a couple of moments (as above) there was no obvious "Welcome" at the door, or any door actually. If the two chaps sitting at the front window hadn't been there, I might have left too. [Thanks, euchrid.]

These meets are a good thing, as long as they don't become the sole mechanism that drives one to street heel, they are a powerful tool for overcoming fear. |
Well said!
And the experience at The Miller, led me to walking around the 02 Arena (aka Millenium Dome) today from 2.30pm to 9.45pm, wearing 4" wedge ankle boots. Yes the security men did see my footwear. Yes some (one or two) others noticed them. Yes I did get seen by at least one member of staff and one customer while I walked up an open stairway (and back) to the toilets in a restaurant. Did anyone make me feel uncomfortable? No. In fact the waitress in the second restaurant where my footwear (and aching feet) were quite visible, was if anything,
overly friendly. [Spent waaay too much time at our table.]
Has face-to-face contact helped me do what I actually want to do? Ooooh yes!

Stunning boots at The Miller, BTW. Was really impressed with your walking too.
[And quite envious - if I'm honest. 
] kneehighs: Oops! Sorry, wrong name for the ballet boot wearer. I don't suppose you have a picture of these being worn at the meet?
