Hi everyone!

Sorry to have taken a while, (have just cleaned the last little finger marks off the French windows!) but I now need to kick start this! Time seems to have run away with me, so I wondered how you are fixed for early October?

Think I have found a venue, but Grannylin and I will explore it further.

So - I have about ten names so far, but the more the definitely merrier, knowing you lot. Let me know.

Fattening! I fancy the non fattening plough mans platter, or the chefs dried cured meat platter, or the steak pie or...............

Gally Mon 09-Sep-13 18:48:41

Ariadne - I may well be visiting DD1 in Gloucestershire in October. If I am, could I join you - perhaps I could be put on the 'B' list? I can get to Exeter from Cheltenham Spa station (I think)

Galen Mon 09-Sep-13 18:53:13

Yes I think it's the Plymouth train. Hope you can make it. I'd love to meet you!

Gally Mon 09-Sep-13 18:56:23

I'd love it - will work on the dates with the DD. May have to put paper bag on heid..

I too can vouch for the chips, and Theseus had the West Country cheese platter which was enormous.

Gally that would be wonderful! Will pm you; our youngest DS and family are also in Cheltenham!

Thanks Ariadne That date/time is fine for me. I'll be getting train from Nailsea & Backwell.
Think I may have been to 'Mill on the Exe' -a few years ago.
Look forward to seeing you all.

Last few days of holiday and something lovely crops up to take my mind off Autumn!
I will be on the London to Exeter train getting on at Westbury probably. Will wear something distinctive should there be other Grans on the train
Hoping Gally can make it as well as all you other lovely Grans!
Thanks Ariadne xx
