Edinburgh in October?

Great let me know when you decide where

Of course you can, Maggiemay51! It would be lovely to have you there with us.

We are always sooo sensible
maggie you will have a great meet up with some lovely people.

New member here, can I come on the 5th Oct

And then we were very sensible while we had lunch at that lovely restaurant that Marmight had sussed out for us!

We did laugh didnt we marelli

Oh I have just gone down the thread and realised I missed the baby post elizabeth1 congratulations a long waited arrival

I wish you could be with us, glass! I remember that lady's face when we all rushed up to her, grinning and breathing heavily because we'd rushed up from the station! It was raining and we were all wet and windblown. She clutched her handbag closer to her and stammered, "..er...er...no!" when we asked her if her name was Elegran! Elegran was standing just inside the glass doors peering out at us......not sure what she thought!!

Just look for a strange glamorous bunch you wont miss them purple scarf or not. I wish I could be there but we dont get back until the 14th ha ha I still laugh about that poor lady we nearly abducted outside of Jenners.

Never say never!

Lona Perhaps one day

If only I could Elizabeth, but I live down in Cheshire! You sound like a great bunch though, so I just hover with my face pressed up against the glass as it were!

Thank you Lona for your kind words. will you be coming to the Edinburgh meet up?

....and I'll be standing next to Marelli who will be standing next to Eliz1 who will be wearing the purple scarf

I was wearing a purple scarf yesterday but obvs depends on what I'm wearing on the day, dahlings.

I no longer have a purple scarf as I cut up the only one I had for a pair of curtain tiebacks (very effective they are, too), so I'll be standing next to Elizabeth1.

Marmight

I'll look out a purple scarf too one of my favourite colours may I add.

Aaaaah, I do like a happy ending

And that was that! We've been friends ever since!

Meanwhile I got fed up standing outside Jenners in the pouring rain and stood just inside the doors instead. Through the glass I saw these three strange women accost a fourth, who shook her head - I think she was waiting for her husband to fetch the car. I went out and said "Are you looking for me?"

That's a pity, Scooter, but maybe next time? Jane10, Elegran will tell you about the first Edinburgh meet up, and how we nearly shanghai'd another lady outside Jenners - but prior to looking for her on Princes St, Marmight and I had been waiting for glass to arrive off the Newcastle train at Waverley. We didn't know what she looked like apart from the fact that she'd be wearing a yellow mac. She had been standing on one side of a large pillar and we'd been standing on the other side for quite a while before any of us thought about walking round it!

Look out for a gaggle of ladies of a certain age all yakking nineteen to the dozen. As there are people coming who will not recognise faces (but take a look at profiles to see photos) I shall have a purple scarf prominently displayed. Maybe others will do the same. If it is raining I shall also be wearing a bright turquoise rain jacket, which should make a bright enough combination to be visible half a mile away.

If there can be said to be a Gransnet salute, it is "Oh! hello!" and a hug - but there may be others who use the same greeting.

Do we all wear red carnations and rolled up newspapers so we can recognise each other? Is there a Gransnet salute?

Marelli,would love to but I have my caravan booked into Thurston Manor in Dunbar that week,will have my dog with me and can't leave her alone in the caravan.Hoping for ,hope you all enjoy the meet up x
