As time is galloping on could you please add your name to the thread if you are coming to gally's on the 3rd of October. Then we can talk about the catering once we have established who is coming. smile

Granny23 Thu 27-Sept-12 01:03:03

Not sure about Granny23 Quite Right - Often not too sure about myself either! I will be coming, have PMed Gally for address. Do we have an ETA? I will bring a cheese free (I have a severe intolerence) substitute for the lasagne. Off early tomorrow to Boat of Garten to meet new Grandcousin, back late Sunday so probably Monday before I check in for any updates.

Shall I make a fresh fruit salad? Could bring cream also?

harrigran Wed 26-Sept-12 19:21:31

I am travelling up the day before, can I please bring wine ?
I will PM you Gally because I have not heard re address, I did PM you it last week.

glassortwo Wed 26-Sept-12 19:07:20

How about I bring a carrot cake?

soop Wed 26-Sept-12 18:27:28

Mr soop now considering travelling by bus to Glasgow and then boarding bus to Edinburgh. He'll look into matters tomorrow. I shall confirm arrangements when he's mulled things over. A crescent moon to you all. I'm away to look busy in the kitchen. grin

Gally Wed 26-Sept-12 18:25:11

Oh crumbs - sorry Baubles but I did ?mark Granny23!!So that's at least 14 so far.........

Bags Wed 26-Sept-12 18:18:09

Don't forget Baubles and Granny23!

Gally Wed 26-Sept-12 17:59:37

So far I think the following are coming:
GA
Grannylynn
Harrigan
Soop
Bags
Marielli + 'her friend the Lurker'
Elegran
Moomin
Glass
GillieB
GillyBob
Not sure about Granny23 or Blackbird
(I assume GillieB and GillyBob are not one and the same - I get very confused at times!)

I will do the lasagne so that leaves salads and puds (and wine for the alcoholics among us! wine)
I would suggest that those arriving by car could bring puds and those arriving by train/plane could pick up a bag of salad or wine to make life easier to transport. I will leave it to you to decide! However, pleeeease don't worry too much as I will have back-up here. If I have omitted to give anyone the address details, please PM me.

soop Wed 26-Sept-12 16:08:52

Thanks Bags...I shall be there. Mr soop will drop me off [he may pop in to say a shy "hello"] and he'll be back to bundle me in the car after a few hours merry-making. Are we making a list of goodies [other than ourselves] to take to Gally's ?...best if Gally tells us what would be useful. smile
