Meeting Up.

Hi maggie just posted similar on what I've been doing today...lovely meeting up and I also would love to meet with others in our area,enjoyed our tea and chat and we were so good virtuously refusing cake and muffin...I afraid I spoilt it when getting my shopping and ate a flake on the way home,and I don't really eat chocolate you must have been a bad influence on me....

It was great to finally meet up with nelliedeane today over a cuppa in Swaffham. We had time for a chat and thanks to GN for giving us opportunities to meet other Gransnetters!
We look forward to an Autumn gathering with merlotgran, GrannyHaggis and any other newcomers who live in East Anglia.....

Nellie was very that she couldn't make it today .
Glad that merlot,Maggiep,granny all had a good time today.
My son is home now after his surgery his wounds required over 100 stitches .
I am looking forward to the next lunchxxx

Thanks to you both, GrannyHaggis and merlotgran for your company at the Cutter Inn in Ely, such a delightful setting with the boats in the river just outside the open doors. Nice to have met you,thanks to GN, we had a good lunch and were sorry that nelliedeane was unable to join us as she had family things to sort.
We hope to meet again!

glamma Bainbridge and Fenwicks are the best places in Newcastle, yes I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason.

Just think glass my life would have been completly differant,we even got as far as getting the carpets measured from a store called "Bainbridges" is that the right store ? but never mind everything is for a reason isn't it.

green I have not lost my marbles, I am not as good as I used to be a multi tasking and trying to have a conversation with DH on the phone and type a message is obviously to much for me should have said

green well shh I dont think anyone is listening

glamma can you imagine how different your life would have been if you had ended up in Acomb, you could have walked into Hexham from there for school I drive through there quite often on the way to my sisters. In fact its a great place to park up and watch the Hexham firework display on bonfire night.

glass well shh I dont think anyone is listening

glass, I was going to keep everyone in the dark about your zit!

glass just remembered the reason why we didn't go ahead with the purchase of the property in Bishop's Hill in Acomb (just outside Hexham) in 1999, the snow is really bad and transport dire during the winter and I had horrible thoughts of the DCs not being able to get to school (shock horror)lol I would have been just a short distance away if we had moved,we decided on Spain instead (bit of a differance eh?)

Just got in from having a drink and natter with Lyndie.

glamma right we will get this year and Christmas out of the way and we will see what we can sort.

I wish too glass we could certainly put the world to rights couldn't we,maybe arrange afetr I get over the rest of this year,4 birthdays ,1 big wedding,another appt.at hospital in Sept,then xmas on top of us its all go at the moment,I don't know how I managed to go to work full time.

glamma I wish I was closer to you

So so of you lot and your lovely days out chatting to each other,by the time I travelled anywhere it would be time to come home

green we wont tell them all about my zit!!!

glass !!

absent you were supposed to keep that under your hat
green sorry it just came up in conversation

I had a lovely trip down to see absent and we did talk for England and look forward to the return visit up here in Newcastle, and anyone else who would like to meet up.

I'm sure many of us are feeling very now!

I cannot tell a lie, 'twas I, who texted glass, absent! Merely to put her at her ease.....and not to plant a spot upon your nose, by way of spells....! I met up with Gally again today - we had lunch and a good old gossip. Hope to met up with more GN's as time goes on.

It was lovely to meet you both,GrannyHaggis and thank you, MaggieP for organising it. Lovely lunch and plenty to talk about. Here's to the next time.

Just back from a lovely lunch in Ely with MaggieP and merlotgran. Thank you for your company ladies and looking forward to the next time!

Met up with glassortwo on Monday for lunch when we talked for England. Thank you greenmossgiel or whoever it was who texted glass while she was on her way to suggest that I might have a giant zit on the end of my nose. I didn't, but a small spot appeared this morning – witchcraft or what? I'm looking forward to the next time and to meeting any other Gransnetters in North Yorkshire, County Durham or even Northumberland who feel like a day out somewhere.

I would like to meet up but Ely is too far away. Anyone for a meet up in Kettering or near to Kettering?
