Hello everyone! Especially basketcase, goldengirl and flowerofthewest. After our lovely lunch at Pearces, are any of you up for another get together? It would be nice to see you all again! And of course anyone else reading this will be warmly welcomed! Any suggestions? I am always happy to eat lunch, but morning/afternoon coffee, garden centres, historic houses.......
Anyone who is interested, get in touch! smile

goldengirl Sat 24-May-14 13:43:48

Yes, I'd love to do it again. I'm happy to meet at the garden centre again - although I spent a fortune in the shop afterwards!!!! Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are usually the best days for me.

Duchessofherts Sat 24-May-14 15:23:59

Excellent, goldengirl! Shall we try and pencil in Tuesday or Thursday 10th or 12 th June. I am hoping to be in Scotland 1st to 6th and probably next week is too short notice for some people? It would be nice to get a few of us again so come on everyone!

Flowerofthewest Sat 24-May-14 23:20:01

Sounds good to me. Where shall we meet. I am off to the Hebrides on 28th and the week before 10th I am in a beach hut in Walberswick. See you there. Where ever.

Thursday 12 is best for me as I've got a meeting on Tuesday 10. 12.30 worked well at the garden centre. Is everyone happy to do the same again?

Any other Herts GNetters around? Do come and join us. Last time we met at Pearces Garden Centre on the A10 not far from Buntingford (?) Very nice and waitress service to boot!

BasketCase Sun 25-May-14 20:14:38

Lovely idea! Thursday 12th good for me. Happy to meet at Pearce's again or try somewhere different/easier for other G'netters to get to. Be great to catch up with Duchess, Flower and Golden girl again and hope others can come too.

Marvellous, so Thurs 12th June is in the diary. I am happy with Pearces but if anyone wants to put forward another venue, I'm flexible!

goldengirl Mon 26-May-14 20:35:55

So am I Duchess smile

Flowerofthewest Wed 28-May-14 18:26:38

Sounds goo to me. I have a blood test that day but it's early so can come along afterwards. What time? If anyone interested Braughing Sausages are famous in that area and are sold at the butcher in Braughing. Worth a visit while over that way.

Car gone to the great scrapyard in the sky. Hopefully will have another but because we had to delay taking my DD and two DGC to the beach hut we will probably go next week now.

goldengirl Wed 04-Jun-14 17:10:28

Oh, does that mean you won't be able to come, Flowerofthewest? That's a shame if that's the case

BasketCase Mon 09-Jun-14 15:51:08

Hoping the meet-up planned for Thursday 12th is still on. 12.30pm at Pearce's Farm Shop Cafe? Shame it seems like Flower won't be there (enjoy Southwold, Flower), but looking forward to meeting Duchess and Golden again. Would be great if there are some other Gransnetters who can come along, too.

Flowerofthewest Tue 10-Jun-14 12:01:50

may make it as DH had to get used to an automatic before we went to Walberswick. Hopefully blood test won't take too long. Have a lovely time anyway. If I'm not there by 12.45 then I probably won't be coming. Blood test at 8.30 (if on time) then two hour wait and sugary drink and another blood test.

Duchessofherts Tue 10-Jun-14 18:58:19

I hope you can make it flower! A hearty lunch is just what you need after relinquishing an armful of blood! I will certainly be there, and I'm looking forward to seeing goldengirl and basketcase, as well. It is a shame no one else has come forward yet, but it has been suggested we take pics so I can put them on our Herts. page and on our Twitter page (yes!! We are on Twitter!!) and Facebook (yes, we are!) and this might encourage a few others to come and enjoy the fun!
I'll be by the flower stall at 12. 30. flowers flowers

Flowerofthewest Tue 10-Jun-14 21:57:54

OK hopefully I will be there - if I am a little late I assume you will all be in the cafe?

goldengirl Tue 10-Jun-14 22:23:58

I'll be there too! Looking forward to it.

Duchessofherts Wed 11-Jun-14 19:23:33

Yes, we'll be indulging ourselves in the cafe so don't worry if you are late! See you all tomorrow!

goldengirl Fri 13-Jun-14 09:57:38

It was good to meet up with Duchessofhertsand Basketcase again but we missed Flowerofthewest ! Hope alls well, Flower. Thanks for organising it Duchessofherts. I have to say I really like Pearces - it's a little gem.

We are definitely not a clique and would welcome other GNs to join us. Do come to the next one. No date set as yet but there will be one.
