soop Now I am contrite. At the time I was definitely tipsy.

soop Fri 07-Sept-12 15:31:58

absent...what are you like? wink

absentgrana Fri 07-Sept-12 15:21:59

soop I didn't lose it. I dropped it down a stone staircase and I thought it was completely smashed to bits so I threw it away. That's why I'm in disgrace.

absent Bless you. I'm delighted to hear that, in spite of losing your phone, your meeting-up went well. Look forward to the next getogether at Gally's place. smile

How nice to hear you all had such a sunny and sunshiny day. sunshine

It was a lovely afternoon and it was great being able to meet the other grannies. Yes, I did get home safely but parted company with the mobile phone en route. As Mr absent usually has the phone and I only take it on rare occasions, he is very cross with me and I am in disgrace. blush

moomin pleased you managed to find your way back to the station its straight forward, about 30mins after you left I did wonder if you had arrived. I got home around 8pm shock and have yet to hear if absent got home!

I had a lovely afternoon I enjoyed meeting up with you all and look foward to Edinburgh, we were so busy chatting we didnt take any photos for the GN meeting photo collection. It was a breezy afternoon sat on the terrace of the Tapas restaurant but so nice to be out in the sunshine after such a miserable summer.

No prob harri, the exercise did me good! I'm pleased you managed to link up eventually with DH smile

harrigran Thu 06-Sept-12 21:43:51

I assumed you were walking back with absent and glass you could have come with me and got a lift, DH had just been off to the wine merchants to stock up.

Good to meet glass absent jane and harri and looking forward to meeting up again for the Edinburgh jaunt. We enjoyed a breezy but sunny lunchtime on the Quayside with plenty of wine and tapas! I even managed to find my way to the station on my own grin (can't go wrong really as it's well signed!!)

Moomin - feeling even more deprived now as I think I would have had time to have joined you. I hope it all went well - do let us know how you got on when you get back.

moomin Thu 06-Sept-12 11:20:04
