Dear Heather
Please thank all your team for the support, commitment and dedication in supporting and introducing me to some interesting men.  It has been a very good learning curve experience.  I think one has to be rather brave and work hard and keeping a good positive kind attitude.
Gerry is taking me to see French Opera  (Tristan and Isolde)  the Bastille.  His huge passion is Opera and his on the Paris Opera Foundation.  He adores his music and culture so you can see he is looking after me beautifully.  One of my friends is a famous musician conductor which is why we start chatting in the first place,
I do not think I would have had the confidence to feel comfortable if you had not keep introducing me to the different gentleman. Thank you for all the confidence and support you gave me.  I must admit his French manners are a real joy! With much thanks  Helen

Dear Lucy

Roger was actually the first man I was introduced to by the County Register. As I said if I wasn't well brought up I would not have gone to meet him after seeing the photo he sent me! We met in the July & saw each other off & on for about 6 months before it fizzled out. Then in June I rang him to see if his son could get me two tickets for the Leander Club at Henley. He said yes & that he would like to see me again. Since then the relationship has changed so we have now got to a stage when we want to be together.

He has moved from his remote house in the south west (I could not have settled there) to the outskirts of a larger town.  Although I didn't have anything to do with the choice of house, I love it!

Apart from finding a man I want to spend the rest of my life with, I'm not only just an hour away from London where my sons live. They will be able to come for Sunday lunch!! Also I'm less than an hour from my old home, which is beside the sea & where my lovely sister lives. She is 16 years older than me so it is fantastic that I shall be able to visit her more frequently. Our children are all very happy about the new arrangement. They have not yet met each other but I'm sure they will get on.  I couldn't be happier. Thank you for making it possible.  Regards  Mary

Dear Geraldine and Lucy,
Just to say a most sincere thank you for your work on my behalf during the past year.  I have been entirely satisfied with the efficiency and discretion of the firm.  My membership has been an interesting experience, even though it seemed at times to demand quite a lot of emotional energy!  I think I need a bit of a rest now, so please do not include my profile in portfolios for the time being.  If I change my mind, perhaps I may get back to you on that point?
Once again my best wishes to you both, Janet

Hi Geraldine
Thank you for contacting me.  I would like to say thank you and also that I would not hesitate to recommend your company as I have found you 100% professional. Thank you  Kind regards  Norma

Dear Geraldine
You're wonderful - thanks so much.
Have just spoken to Huw, and we're phoning each other next week and meeting for a late lunch on Maundy Thursday.  Yippee.  He sounded so nice..................... Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Yours  Angela

Dear Geraldine, just to say a warm hello and to touch base and to say that I am living so very happily with my darling Andrew at the farm in Hampshire nowadays. I quite often tell a friend about the County Register and so hope that others will find love and a true companion and best friend through your excellent personally-honed service. Life is good and I really appreciate it and each day, and it has been a joy introducing him to my family, who are all v much Andrew fans! warm wishes and I hope life proceeds happily and warmly for you,  I think TCR is an excellent thing to have in this modern world. You are doing great and meaningful work!  Please send my warm regards to Tamara, who I met in the summer of 2005. warm regards Sally

Dear Geraldine-thank you!
I have become so very happy in my new relationship that it's easy to forget how I go here, so I wanted to thank you whole heartedly for introducing me to Peter.  I could never have met him without you.  Of course he isn't perfect, but he is all I've every wanted and I feel so lucky.  Peter feels so right I don't see how anyone else could have matched him.  Thank you everyone at County Register and Happy Valentine's Day!!  With Kind regards, Sue

Thank you, Geraldine. Also many thanks to you and the girls for all your help over the past year. I shall leave things for a bit as you suggested and perhaps get back to you in the summer.  Best wishes Victoria

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for letting me know that my membership will come to an end in April and for sending me another Portfolio.  Although I haven’t met any ‘special’ through The Portfolio Connection I would like to thank you for giving me back my confidence.  It was very difficult to get out there and meet new people again after the death of my husband.  With grateful thanks, Mary

Hi Geraldine
What can I say - you are a star!  Thank you so much for all your trouble. Marianne

Hello Anna,
Just to let you know that James and I got in contact, and met up for Sunday lunch yesterday. I really enjoyed his company and I think we got on well for a first meeting and seemed to have a fair bit in common, and I did find him attractive. When we parted company, he said he'd call so I'll see where we go from there.  Sue

Dear Geraldine
I thought you would like to know that Rob and I have just celebrated 4 years together. We have recently bought a house together in Gloucestershire and plan to move in together in March. Both families get on well and we have had some wonderful times and are all very happy.
We are both so very grateful to you for introducing us. 
Best Wishes Ann

Hi Geraldine
Just wanted to share our news with you and thank you for introducing me to David.  We have decided to become engaged and we are very happy together.  So, thank you for being the introducing agents for us.
I hope you are all well and I will let you know of future developments.  We hope to marry in April but do not want to impose change too quickly on my children, who like David also, thank goodness!!  Good wishes to you all,   Joanna

Hi Geraldine
Jeremy has just phoned - actually he also tried me yesterday evening and I thought it was the other Jeremy!  We're going to have a chat Thursday evening.  He sounded very nice and interesting on the phone and will be coming to Oxford next Thursday.
You have no idea how glad I am that I joined the County Register.  I'm seeing Anthony probably on Saturday in Norfolk - another very interesting man.
My friend Liz will be joining (possibly not until the New Year) and will chivvy her up a bit when I see her. 
Yours  Angela

Dear Tamara
Thank you for your letter I received today. I have nothing but praise for the introductions you have given me during my membership. However I have yet to meet that special person so please keep me on your register and think of me from time to time.
Kind regards  Frank

Hi Lucy and Geraldine!! 
Whew it’s hot here in the Med, not only is it 40 degrees of heat, but steamy in passion!!  Mike and I are blissfully happy here, and 'thank you' seems hardly enough to say!  We met somewhat romantically on Platform 3 of Waterloo station in a wet and drizzly London some time ago, and here we now are!!  Your two square pegs are well and truly rounded off!!!
Your perseverance with me more than paid off, I had totally given up, and possibly was not believing that the system works, but, be honest how on earth could Mike from UK, and Jillie in the Med ever have got together without you............bless you, and enormous, THANK YOU!
Love from both of us (he's leaning over my shoulder as I type) and yes, please, take us both off the files, and notch us up on your Success List.
Jillie and Mike.

Dear Lucy
Many thanks. It’s so nice to get such friendly emails from you!
Sarahxxx

Hello Lucy,
Just thought I would update you on David and myself. We are getting along SO well and really enjoying one another's company to the extent that we are thinking a long-term relationship, which makes us both feel very happy indeed. So, unless anything goes horribly wrong, I cannot foresee any need, (touch wood) for future introductions or membership. What happens now?
However, please pass on my good news and happiness to Geraldine and Heather who I initially met. Thank you all so much for being so nice and professional and for introducing David and I. I will let you know of any changes as and when they occur.
Good wishes to you all,
Joanna

Geraldine
I have just recommended your services to a great friend by the name of David. He is a very kind and thoughtful man who I have known now for over 30 years. He is a professional person of great integrity who finds himself on his own and in need of female friendship. Like many of your clients he has found it difficult to meet new ladies so needs the help you gave Liz and myself.
By the way Liz and I are still carrying on our romance and enjoying each others company more than ever.  I hope you can help my friend.  John

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for your support during my membership and the introduction to Johnny, our relationship is getting stronger every day.  We have so much in common.  With Kind Regards, Valerie

Dear Lucy
Somehow, this Michael sounds more 'me', but lets wait and see. 
Again bless you for all your efforts on my part, must give you top marks for persistence!!  Cheers, Gillie.

Dear Geraldine
Just a note to tell you that Liz and I are still together and planning a future together.  She is lovely and I find it difficult to believe in my luck. And you found her so quickly for me.
Regards and a big thank you  John

Dear Geraldine,  It is so kind of you to check out the amount of suitable candidates for me!  I do greatly appreciate it. You have been a kind friend over the last year.  I gather that my membership expires on April 7th. The County Register has been good for me.  It's got me out of my ivory tower and given me the courage to get out there and meet people. 
My best wishes, Carolyn

Dear Geraldine,
I was just thinking it was time to contact you - and, yes, every time Michael are together I feel so fortunate to have met him and I feel I owe you and Anna a big 'thank you'.... 
I'm sure he will agree that you can add us to your 'success statistics'...!  He's a wonderful person and has been a such a support all during this, rather difficult, year - and now we are starting to plan things together for the future. 
Hope things are going well for the organisation and you have lots more successes.

Hi Geraldine,
Thank you for letting me know that my membership has come to an end. In the nicest way I hope not to have to contact you again but it is reassuring to know you are there! All is going well with Bill, and I do thank you very much for introducing us.
With best wishes,
Gay

Dear Anna, Tamara and Penny,
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed meeting all of you yesterday.
I left the office feeling very positive - and very brave - and would just like to say thank to you all for putting me at my ease and making it all very comfortable for me - and thanks for the tea! Re Paul - I would be very interested to meet him, but equally if you decide that I am not the right person for you to put forward then I quite understand and am totally relaxed about it.
I look forward to hearing from you - hopefully!
Thanks again.  Isobel

Dear Tamara
So hope to put a second date in the diary to see Robin again soon (the sooner the better as far as I am concerned!!). And will let you know how I get on with Michael. Thank you for all your encouragement and hard work. I am so glad I joined The County Register.
Jill

Dear Lucy
I had a date with Roger on Monday. Nice man, but I am not sure we would be right for each other, and he probably feels the same way. Hope you enjoy your new job. You sound wonderfully friendly via e mail, which is a an absolute bonus.
Regards & thanks,  Caroline

Dear Tamara
Peter is a total sweetheart and a gentleman. We had a lovely evening, and I really enjoy his sense of humour. I scolded him for not calling sooner, telling him that I had complained to you. He has called again, and I look forward to seeing him when I return. So, thank you for that.
Ann

Hi Geraldine
Hope you are well.
I met James a couple of times over the weekend and we are getting on wonderfully. To this end I'd like to put future meetings 'on hold' for now and see how things pan out.
Best wishes,  Pam

Dear Geraldine and the team at The County Register
Mary and I  are now very close. We are both enraptured and feel it’s  likely to be THE ONE
Many thanks  to you all
John

Dear Heather
Just to let you know that Ken and I are marrying in December - thank you. I enjoyed my contact with all your clients and wish you all well.
With love,  Penny

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for the note. I'm delighted to say I am completely in love with my gorgeous man.  We have just come back from a wonderful weekend away in a country house hotel.  We are both certain we will be together for ever and working out the details is going to be such fun. I am a very lucky girl.
Thank you for all your support.  With best wishes, Jane

Dear Anna, Geraldine and Tamara and of course Heather,
Thank you for all the work you have done on my behalf and all the people you have introduced me to, a couple of whom have become friends. I really appreciate all your help, generosity and patience. Alas, I didn’t find my Prince Charming but there we are. Thank you so much.
Kind regards to you all, Caroline

Dear Tamara
A very happy New Year to you.  You asked me to let you know how things went, well:- If you take the Times or Telegraph today you will see my engagement is announced.  It has been a whirlwind of a romance with Naomi and as we both feel so happy and comfortable about the relationship we are getting on with it wholeheartedly.  Lots of decisions to make now though including where to live etc…With kind regards and many thanks
Malcolm

Dear Zara
You have been in the press a lot in the last couple of weeks - The County Register I mean.  That's great and I hope it generates some good business for you.  What I have read has all been very complimentary, and think you all deserve it, as I think you offer a great service.  Just thought I'd say so!
Best wishes Vanessa

Hello Geraldine,
Many thanks for all your help, I have really enjoyed my membership.
Best wishes, Kate

Hi Anna
Hope you're well and that life is treating you kindly.
John and I have decided to walk off into the sunset together.
Please may I freeze my membership?
Love and smiles  Anne

Dear Tamara
I thought I would drop you a line simply to say hello.  I have been meaning to drop you a personal note for ages and ages and ages – but I have no excuses – simply life is hectic.
Robert and I now have clocked up nearly three years – how about that!  We are so happy and doing well.  We just click – simple as that......  His children are adorable and we have the kindest relationship with his ex wife.
Life is fun and very happy.  Thanks to you!
With love from Dee

Hello Geraldine
I am meeting two people in London next weekend which I’m really looking forward to. So thank you for getting me started so quickly! 
Regards Sue    

Geraldine you are a genius! I tell you what I have had more than my money's worth from the County Register in chatting to you, and all this photo nonsense! Forget photos, they will just have to meet the real thing, for better for worse! Anyway, I remain open minded!!!
Best wishes  Gillie

Hi Geraldine
God willing, Charles and I will be married in September. All is going well, and I have been pleased to recommend The County Register to several friends.
Thank you for all your help and support
Margaret

Dear Anna
I thought I would let you know that I have relaxed into this now, have had some interesting meetings and am enjoying myself! 

Thanks for your help. 

Yvonne

Dear Tamara
Just got your letter today reminding me that my membership has now  expired and I thought I would drop you a line to say I am still very happily dating John and I believe he is still happily dating me! So thanks it really was surprisingly easy! I won't, hopefully, need to consult you again so thank you.
Regards, Lucy

Dear Geraldine
I have seen Ben and we got on very well and will be seeing each other again this week. Also met Chris who I found quite cute (if you can say that about a 57 year old!) I will phone Keith next week and then I need to see where I am and how I feel. Obviously I will keep you up to date. I feel quite lucky that I have met some very nice men.
Regards, Dorothy

Dear Geraldine
Let me start with wishing you a happy New Year and a successful one for The Portfolio Connection.  Although 2004 brought me happiness and fun, thanks to The Portfolio Connection, I decided to break my relationship with Anthony just before Christmas.  We both would have loved for it to work permanently but on my part I finally had to acknowledge that I could not go on.  A pity but I know I have made the right decision.
I am now ready to meet other people and know that through you I will find the right person.  Best wishes,  Debbie

Dear Geraldine
I met with Mary last night and we had an extremely pleasant evening having a pre-concert dinner and attending a sold out recital at Wigmore Hall. I found Mary an delightful person, a good communicator, with an exceptional breadth of knowledge and experience. We even had common ground. I hope Mary found the evening as interesting as I did, and I look forward to contacting her soon to arrange another concert, opera or recital. I hope she is not put off by the fact that I am well past my sell by date.
Many thanks for the referral.
With kind personal regards,
Denis

Hello Geraldine
Hope you're well and that life is treating you kindly. Just thought we'd let you know that we are still together, living in Hampshire and enjoying each other. Life is wonderful. We are off to spend the winter in South Africa returning in April to enjoy the spring flowers and the English summer. After that? Watch this space!!!
Fondest love, smiles and many thanks for our happiness.
Anne and Anthony

Hi Geraldine
Hope you're well and, also, that you remember us – Ann and John. A quick message to let you know you have another success. We're now engaged and plan to marry sometime this year.
Thanks a million.  Ann

Hi Geraldine,
I just thought that I would tell you that I had a truly wonderful date with Nigel yesterday.  We must have spoken for at least 6 hours before we ever met, so we felt extremely comfortable with one another.  Lunch at the Ritz, dinner at Brasserie Roux and in between times, a walk in Green Park (we were going to the Titian exhibition but we talked too much)!! We ended up walking over the Thames, past 'The Eye' and around by the House of Commons. We are meeting up again this week-end and he was perfectly charming.  Probably the best date that I have been on, since my divorce.
Suzy

Geraldine
Had a truly wonderful day yesterday with Sally and we have agreed to see each other again this weekend. I am sure that she will provide her own feedback, but for me it was without question a very special day. Many thanks to you all.  David

Dear Tamara
Just a note to thank you and your mother for mentioning Simon to me. You were absolutely right that we would get on well. We met each other yesterday and had so much in common. I believe he and I are going to see each other again. Thanks and kindest regards, Anna

Hello Geraldine,
I have been corresponding with Neil. We get on very well. He has style but he is also extremely honest. We both have sons and have had similar backgrounds. He actually gives me 1st. night nerves and it’s a long time since I have had that! I shall give you an up-date. I don't know whether other people do that but I feel you put so much hard work and effort in to the business that you need to know!
Hope you are well.  Susan

Dear Geraldine
Whatever happens to my life in the future, I can vouch for the fact that joining The County Register was been a really good thing for me, and I have had a lot of fun!  As ever  Veronica

Dear Tamara
Audrey and I met yesterday afternoon in London, and I think I can say that we were 'suited', even 'eminently suited'. We seemed to hit it off very well indeed. I should like to thank you for your kind and efficient and graceful work on our behalf. With my thanks again, and my very best wishes, to you personally, as ever.  Roger

Tamara
I cannot thank you enough for putting Richard’s profile in front of me. We get on SO well. He has just been here to stay for a few days and it was magic. He got on so well with my friends (and dogs!) and we had a wonderful time. I am not interested in meeting anyone else and would like to put my membership on hold for the time being. I will keep you informed about progress. Please thank Heather and let her know progress. Many thanks.
Hannah

Dear Geraldine,
I must say I found the agency fee to be a little steep but your dating service is really IMPRESSIVE – please pass on the genuine compliment to Heather. WELL DONE – if I can’t find someone suitable it certainly won’t be for lack of help!!!!  Kind regards,   Florence

Dear Tamara -
Thank you for your letter today.  I would rather have written to you than e mailed this, but I would like you to know asap how much I appreciate your help, your kindness and your care.  Ailsa

Hello Geraldine
I met Peter yesterday – delightful man.  We met up for dinner last night and he is charming.  We got on extremely well and both enjoyed one another’s company.  We are certainly going to meet again. We had such a lot in common and talked non stop for 5 hours (in between the red wine, the seafood and spaghetti).  We both felt as if we had known each other for years!.  Hope you are well,  Kind regards,  Sarah

Dear Tamara
Wow...things have been moving here!! Thank you for your lovely email. Robert and I are getting on famously and.........in fact going to view a house together on Monday!!! There is a distinct possibility of my selling up here and going to live with him. I just cannot believe this is happening! He is a treasure and we have such a load of fun together and he is super with the boys. I will continue to keep you informed as to what is happening. My life has certainly turned around since those desperately sad days last year. Thank you so much for the introduction, we just clicked immediately, it is so easy and wonderful to share a life again with someone so kind, caring and - special.
Lots of love and thanks to you all and I will keep in touch.  Helen

Hi Geraldine
The County Register has been great. I would be interested to talk it over in the New Year about the possibility of joining up again. I must say I have met so many colourful characters this year. It is bad luck that it has not worked for me but I have had a good time.
Best wishes  Jean

Dear Geraldine,
Having met Julia now some six times I am happy to ask to suspend all further contacts, hopefully ad infinitum. We seem to be well matched, happy in our company and ready to make a go of our budding relationship. Many thanks for your kind assistance during the last months.
Sincerely, John

Hi Tamara
Just thought I'd let you know that James and I are getting on famously. We just enjoyed a romantic trip to Venice and are planning to go to India in Jan. I would have never gone out with him until you gave me a gentle push and all is working out great. Thanks to you I now am enjoying the country at weekends and a happier life all round!
Kind regards Jane

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for your help over the last 15 months. Even though I have not met anyone special I have enjoyed the experience and some of the men I have met. Thank you for your help and I think you are most efficient and have always responded quickly and kindly to any request.
With my very best wishes to you for the future.
Kindest Regards, Elizabeth

Hello – Guess what ....
Glen asked me to marry him on December 6th !!! Anyway I have the most beautiful engagement ring and we are planning to get married in May. Thank you so much. Helen

Dear Tamara and Geraldine
I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I am very happily dating Jason and have positive thoughts for the future. Thanks for making me take another look at his profile, will be in contact if it goes pear shaped.
Lucinda

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for sending the profiles. I've looked through them but I'm not selecting anyone. I'm still seeing Chris and we'll see how that goes otherwise may I thank you very much for an excellent introduction service and I hope you continue to thrive. Best wishes, Marilyn

Hi Geraldine,
I met John yesterday as we had arranged it a few weeks ago, we shall be seeing each other again!! I had totally given up! We met close to me and immediately hit it off. I will keep you informed.
Felicity.

Dear Tamara
Joining The Portfolio Connection has been a good move for me. It has made me realise how much I enjoy and want to have the company of men, how pleasant it is to have even a good friendship – if not a companion for life.  I would be most grateful for your reaction.  Hoping all is well with you, and with thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Mary

Dear Zara
I am very impressed by the organisation! It must take the most methodical kind of system.  Maria

Dear Geraldine
Norma and I met yesterday and spent the afternoon in each other's company. I can't honestly declare that sky rockets went off for either of us but at the same time we enjoyed the day sufficiently to want to arrange to see each other again. However, certainly at this early stage, should you have other clients whose profile matches my own, I would be grateful if you would forward them. Should the new friendship between Norma and myself develop sufficiently to exclude the desire to meet others, I will, of course, make that situation known to you. I am encouraged by The County Register's careful vetting which produced this first suitable introduction.
Best wishes Robert

Dear Geraldine
Thank you for letting me know that my freeze time has now come to an end.  I hope that I will not need to come back to you again.  Both John and I are very happy - we both joked that we should ask for a refund as it was our very first introduction with the bureau.  My thanks to Zara for her help.  With Best Wishes Liz
