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

Anno Yes I have GA and Grannylin staying for 2 nights so I am sure they will want a shower at some point - if not I shall force them into it grin. They arrived this afternoon and we haven't stopped talking since 2 o'clock. Just off to early bed so we are ready for tomorrow.

Fruit salad made - hope it survives the journey wink, madly putting bits in my bag ready for glass!!

Elegran Wed 03-Oct-12 08:40:43

Will anyone else be on the 11.05 Waverley/Aberdour train?

Can't find anything purple or green, nearest is a mauvish scarf.

baublesbanglesandb Wed 03-Oct-12 08:48:53

Help ma boab! Did I miss the bit about a dress code? I'm wearing a kind of heather coloured sweater, will that do?

Butternut Wed 03-Oct-12 10:42:01

Have a fabulous day you lot! sunshine

So there I was peacefully rolling yet another coat of claret-coloured paint on the dado in the hall and carefully steering the senile cat away from paddling in the roller tray when I heard such a hubub. Then I realised – of course, it's the Scottish and North-eastern grannies having a chinwag and a knees up. I hope you're all having a splendid time. I'll wine to that. smile

Marelli Wed 03-Oct-12 17:56:34

absent, we missed you - really wish you could've come! We had a wonderful time! Gally made us all so welcome - in fact grannyactivist and Grannylin are still there. They leave again tomorrow to fly back to Devon. There were 14 of us and it was lovely. We chatted, laughed and ate non-stop (not all in that order)! Can't wait till the next one! smile

numberplease Wed 03-Oct-12 18:08:07

Sounds like you all had a brilliant afternoon.

baublesbanglesandb Wed 03-Oct-12 18:33:21

Thank you Gally for your wonderful hospitality. It was just lovely to see everyone today, let's do it again. How about a Yuletide gathering?

baublesbanglesandb Wed 03-Oct-12 18:34:33

Safe trip home to all of you sunshine

whenim64 Wed 03-Oct-12 18:40:13

Great to hear about you all having your lovely get-together. smile

Elegran Wed 03-Oct-12 18:56:55

Safe home exhausted - particularly the tongue.
Three cheers for Gally.

Bez Wed 03-Oct-12 19:13:28

grin lovely you all got on well and had a great time

Marelli Wed 03-Oct-12 19:32:13

Elegran, I'm going to have your lovely bread for my supper! (You should taste this bread, by the way - delicious!) Elegran had made a lot of lovely little loaves - all different flavours. Gally had made a great lot of delicious lasagnes and along with all of the other contributions from everyone...well, the tables were groaning! baubles made this gorgeous chocolatey, nutty traybake....and moomin had brought lovely fruit salad....glass had brought a massive apple pie and carrotcake...oh - the list is endless.....! But I must just have a wee bit of *Elegran's bread for supper...[greedy emoticon]!

whenim64 Wed 03-Oct-12 19:40:08

Oh, how fabulous! What a great time you've had. Do tell us more, I'm enjoying hearing about it smile

Elegran Wed 03-Oct-12 20:09:01

I rather overdid the quantities - forgot that there were so many lovely things that no-one had room for much bread.

Never mind - now I will have a stock in the freezer.

A very good time was had by all. It is so nice to put faces to all those names.
