I love Edinburgh and Gransnetters are among my favourite people, so combining the two is my idea of a really good time. Have a blast - and take lots of photo's. 
Terrible relationship with DIL - am I the problem?

Meet ups/where are you?
And there was i thinking i'd need an alarm clock to wake me up this morning! S'later, dudes 
!
I was up at 6.00 too - have hardly slept a wink 
Have a wonderful day, everyone. We want to hear all about it later 
I had to leave early to get my train back to Newcastle, but the five hours I was there in the company of the other GNers just flew by!
Lovely lunch, interesting talks on Badgers, Genealogy, the Children's Hospice movement in Scotland, and fiery debate following Granny23's presentation on Scottish Independence!
Lovely to see Marelli, Thatbags, Gillybob, Glassortwo, Baubles, Granny23 Moomin and Elegran again, and to meet GillieB, Galen and Tegan for the first time, not forgetting Cari Hope I haven't missed anyone out and sorry not to have had time to talk to everyone else !
A big big Thank you to Elegran for organising a really special day - thank you so much! 
That sounds like such a good get-together. Glad it went well.
A fabulous day. Thank you elegran. I've just had to refuse complimentary snacks on train because still full of surprise lunch 
Many thanks, Elegran....
A really enjoyable day, if a lot of work for you....Much appreciated!
Looking forward to seeing the pics in due course.
Hope to meet up again with you and others chatted with in the course of the day...You know who you are!
All the best
Jennifer.
Thank you loads, elegran! What a great day! Thoroughly enjoyed myself
Hope you've a quiet day planned for tomorrow Elegran, you deserve it after the work you put into today.
Well done and thanks again it was a great day .
Great day - brilliant organisation by Elegran and so so lovely to meet so many people in one go. Everyone was VERY well behaved - not a single conversation had to be reported or deleted
The even shone for us - and obviously there was 
for lunch. Was extremely sorry to miss the end to wend my weary way back to GHNQ. Hey - we will just have to do it all again
xx
A great get-together Elegran, thank you for all your hard work . Lovely to meet GNers old and new, can't wait until the next meetup!
Just heard from my sister that there was £38.75 in her CHAS collecting tin. She thanks everyone who was in Edinburgh today for their interest and generosity. This 'Donation from Gransnetters' will be winging its way to CHAS tomorrow.
Thank you to Elegran for arranging our fab day out and to all those interesting people I met yesterday - some I knew and some I had only just met for the first time. Its amazing how friends are made after each of these meet ups. Conversation and talks were varied and interesting even although I had thought I was eating crunchy mushrooms only to be told they were chestnuts. (Must get out more often.) thanks Marelli. Have a fab christmas everyone, here's to the next meet up. 
A new gransnettism! "Crunchy mushrooms" Chestnuts will always be crunchy mushrooms to me now.
(I thought they were mushrooms too until I cut into one).
Elegran, thank you so much for yesterday! The work you put into it all was amazing, and the only regret I had was that Elizabeth1 and I had to leave before the end to catch a bus that didn't arrive - though maybe it did, but Princes St was so crowded we maybe just couldn't find the stop! Made our way to the station and piled onto a train (a bit like the Japanese - got squeezed in somehow)! It was lovely to meet Gransnetters from far and near.
And I loved the chestnuts!
