Glad to see the back of you

Oh I would so love to come, but am afraid that from North Devon it would be a bit too far! Feeling quite and a bit but every good wish to those that will be there.

Sounds fun. GD's childminder is on holiday 15th April to 1st May and will mean some babysitting for me. If date fits, I would love to come.

Thanks.. will look out for dates

Hope you'll have me too absent? But like Gally will try to fit in with your date of choice (Easter hols = some grandma duties on certain days of the week!)

Would love to come absent . Not sure of movements so will have to see which date is chosen and try to fit in.

gilly we had already added you in.

I would love to be part of your farewell tour Absent if you will have me?

I would love to come, I'm away 6th -13th April and 19th April.
Hope you can find a date that's ok for everyone absent, will understand if it has to be when I'm away.

Not that we want to see the back of absent but it would be lovely to see everyone.

Me please, I really want to come along. Are you thinking weekend or weekday? I work Monday to Friday but could possibly arrange time off.

@Absent* I'd love to come? go? too but 25th April is DGD2's birthday so it is a no-no for me too Marelli. I notice that 23rd is St. George's day - perhaps a good day for a cross border foray?

Oh that's so good of you, absent! Please don't let it affect anyone else's plans though, if a heap of folk can only make the 26th or something!!

nanaej No, no, no – if you would like to join me, I should be delighted to see you. Revisiting Darlington could be interesting for you.

Marelli That's why I've started posting a bit in advance. So – before 25 April.

Hi..just seeing if the get together is open to anyone or just those who have met up before in NE ?

I often visit a pal in York and a trip to Darlington could be tied in with a trip. Also Darlington was my Mam's home town and I went to boarding school there ..so always nice to re-vist. Fully understand if it is more of a get together of people who already know each other.

I would love to be there, absent, depending on the date you choose. I go on holiday on 25th April. (Fingers crossed emoticon).
