Glass and I were talking the other day about arranging another get-together in the near future in Newcastle upon Tyne (or thereabouts). The weather seems so miserable at the moment (it's snowing heavily here) that it would be a good idea to have something to look forward to.

Add your name if you're interested and suggested dates - I think a month or so on from now would be good.

Finally arrived home after sitting on the "broken down" Metro for what seemed like forever! It was so good to meet everyone and to finally put faces to names. Thank you all for such a lovely afternoon. ......No Moomin we weren't thrown out as such... Just politely asked to leave ! grin

Yes it was a good get-together! The time flew by and the talk was non-stop smile. It was great to meet pink and gillybob for the first time and to renew acquaintance with jane, harri, glass and absent - quite a lot of wine was drunk!

Hope absent, glass and gillybob weren't thrown out of the venue for being drunk and disorderly after the rest of us left at 4:20 and have managed to find their way home grin

Looking forward to the meetup in April to say a sad farewell to absent - btw, hope some photos will find their way onto GN!

Oops slips, absent and moomin have become one smile

harrigran Thu 28-Feb-13 18:39:00

Great day,I have a dry throat with all the talking. I think the music was a little too loud even though it was nice 60s stuff.
Took me 40 minutes to get home Jane, I mistakenly thought the rush hour didn't start until 5pm.
Lovely to meet pinkprincess and gillybob for the first time and to remeet glass absentmoomin and jane
Well done glass a successful afternoon wine
