Edinburgh meeting / confirm numbers.

baubles aww dont be nervous

You've met five of us already, baubles, (well, it would be five, only absent can't come now ), and you were a new lassie then! Are you driving through? Have you got directions from*Gally*?

Must admit I'm feeling a little nervous.....looking forward to it though.

Is it a lovely hat, Bags? All soft and Fair Isle-y?

soop, guess what I've just been trying on, with a scarf I found.... Seems suitable for Wednesday.

You couldn't do that if you tried, soop!

Are we to wear wee badges? I get a trifle muddled [name-wise] when meeting lots of people for the first time. As I won't have a hearing aid by Wed, chances are that I shall miss some of the background conversation. If I appear rude and stand-offish, I apologise in advance.

We'll all have to have a great big group hug!

Good description marelli

Marelli...and I shall get to hug you again...

It's going to be so good!!! I'm so excited! Yatter, yatter, yatter! It's going to be like a henhouse at Gally's!

A bit like anticipating a forthcoming primary school outing. Yes, I remember them well. The sort where you eat the entire contents of the lunch box before the bus sets off for the treat.

soop I am so excited

We've a date, glass...looking forward to meeting you.

soop I cant speak for the rest, but I am slightly potty to so we will keep each other company.

GillieB and grannyact...I can't stop giggling at the prospect of meeting up at Gally's. Mind you, I am possibly a trifle potty...but harmless with it.

I'm flying up with Grannylin on the Tuesday, so will probably pick up a bottle of wine at the airport. Sooooo excited I feel like a schoolgirl looking forward to an outing.

Getting so excited about this all - glass - I am very good at map reading - we never have a sat nav when we go away and I have taken us all round America and France without getting lost (much!). My DH even tells people I am good at map reading.

We shall leave Kintyre at eight sharp. Three and a half hours to Glasgow and an extra hour to Edinburgh and Gally's pad [providing I do the map reading ]...so, if we stop for half a dozen wees and a visit to M&S, I should arrive wearing an enormous round about 1-ish.

I had a look on Google maps at streetview level, which gave me an idea of what the route looked like from the station to Gally's. That is all I need. It is only the last bit, but if you knew what turns to look out for once you hit Aberdour it might help. Aberdour is not all that big (unless it has expanded a lot since I was last there) dificult to get too lost in it.

Okey dokey

Brilliant - will defo bring the sat nav anyway - we'll have all bases covered. Let me know sometime what time is best to meet

moomin I was going to do that as a back up. We will find it

glass it might be a good idea to get a Google route or AA route online and print off? So far the sat nav has behaved itself! But it's probably best to be prepared for the worst (not that I'm a pessimist at all )

Marelli welcome back from your holidays, hope you enjoyed it

moomin there will be three of us with gillieB I am waiting for gillyBob to get in touch to see if she is still coming. So 3 or 4 of us. I will ask Gally for the postcode, are you bringing your sat nav mine as kaput takes you the wrong way, or we might get to gallys for Christmas
