Coffee and cake meetup

I don't think it is St Cuthbert's, Newleaseoflife The cafe is under St John's, right on the corner of Princes St.

My lasting impression of St Cuthberts came from the wooden pews - very straight and hard, despite the long cushions, which were about as thick as a table runner.

Hello, newlease. I've never been in the actual church, only in the crypt cafe. There was a book shop there for a time too, I seem to recall.

It will be good to meet you in May at the Nat Gall gransnet cakefest

Bags- A dear friend of mine in the minister for St Cuthberts and a couple of years ago he gave us a tour of the church. Impressive I would say - part of its claim to fame is the chapel within the church which is said to have been the place where Agatha Christie was married. Hope I have got that right. I should love to see it again.

And yes please I am very interested in meeting up ( coffee and cake)

Date now fixed. Saturday 11th May at the cafe in the National Gallery of Scotland at the Mound, 3 pm. It would help if GN members confirmed online that they will be there so that tables can be booked.

If you are not a member, but would like to join us, email [email protected], If you can't email - turn up anyway and introduce yourself.

depending on the date I would love that. I love edinburgh. think this local forum is a great idea

I am happy to go wherever is chosen.

PS Haven't been there for... um... about twenty-six years!! They were very tolerant of pre-schoolers, so I guess they could cope with gransnetters

Add me to the hopefuls list, please! Is that lovely old church crypt cafe still open at the other end of Princes Street from Waverley Station? Wouldn't mind checking that out again.

I'm up for that - depending on date decided. I'm away the last week in April.
