Meet up in Leicester

Is there a good place at the station to meet; a coffee bar or something [don't want to stand under a clock; too many memories of being stood up in my youth for that .

I can be at the station for 11. How will we recognise one another? If there's a coffee bar that sounds a good place to meet up. I'm looking forward to the day!

Difficult to know what to wear at the moment; we wore purple when we met up in Brum but I kept accosting ladies wearing purple who thought I was deranged.

Tegan.

My train gets in at 10.46 - Tegan and I have met and its not a large station. I'll get my deerstalker and green wellies ready.

If Teetime and Tegan are getting a cab, I won't meet you at the Station. See everyone at Carluccios at 2 pm. X

I may have to take the bus and not the train. How far is the bus station from the train station?

It's about .5 of a mile. But is nearer Carrlucios and the Cathedral. X

friends I am going too come on a later train and will meet you all at Carluccios at 2 - hope that's OK. C U Tuesday xx

Grannybug; have you got contact numbers for people? Are you actually travelling by train; if so it will be you and Nellie at the station and I'll be at the bus station but should be able to get across to the train station.

My bus should get to the bus station at @ 11.

Thought I'd better bump this up.

Hello Leicester! One of you daughters is returning home on Tuesday. I will expect a fanfare.

For those others who are coming by train. I have now booked to arrive at about 10:30am. I do want to visit the cathedral and exhibition

I think me Grannybug, and J52 are to be arriving by train. Tegan has given me her mobile and I think I have sent her mine.

I have found a map of the station. How about meeting at Upper Crust in the concourse so the earliest ones can get a drink? That seems the most obvious place to meet.
I am five foot. I wear glasses and I have short greying hair.

Oops! One of your daughters.

I'll be at the bus station at [I hope] 11. J52 is just meeting us at Carluccis I believe [I think most people are just going to Carluccis and only me, Nellie and possibly Grannybug are doing the Richard III stuff.. I don't know about Grannybug. Nellie; as soon as my bus gets in I'll phone you and tell you where I am.If anything goes wrong I will head for the Upper Crust. If you phone me don't be surprised if you get cut off at first; I hardly ever use my phone and often press the wrong button [yes; it's so old it has buttons on it ]. No idea what I'll be wearing other than it won't be a skirt/dress of any kind. If I'm doing lots of walking I may wear trainers and not my Ugg boots. The weather may be bad on Tuesday so I might wear my wax jacket just in case.

Hi, just to say I'm in Leicester, not coming by train, but I was able to meet anyone at the station who did not know their way to Carluccio's or the Cathedral.

However, everyone seem to be sorted, good. See you all at 2 pm. x

Must put my phone on charge before I forget.

Wish I could be with you all, unfortunately noy in Leicester until next week.

Hope you all have an enjoyable time.

Never know; we might have such fun that we decide to do it all again next week. And, there is later in the year as well.

J52 I could find the Cathedral. I have no idea where Carluccio's is. I will get a town centre map off t'internet though.

Nellie, I'll try and be helpful, but a map is a good idea!

Basically you are heading towards John Lewis, in the traffic free part of the Highcross shopping development. It's just behind the Cathedral. Carluccios is on a corner, more or less in front of JL. You will come across Carluccios. first, as you walk towards JL.

I'd give you more precise 'left, right turn' directions, but that might be more confusing!

I'm sure if you ask anyone they would easily point you in the right direction.

See you Tuesday. x

John Lewis is where St Margarets baths were.

Hello Leicester - just popping in to wish you a very lovely day tomorrow, lots of fun and a good chin wag. Wish I could meet you all- so hope we can arrange something another time when I am over. Leicester will always have a huge part in my heart, as I was made so welcome there and made such wonderful friends.

Enjoy... x

Hello Tegan I will be at the station at 11 and would like to do the Richard exhibition . Will be wearing my purple berghouse jacket and jeans and trying to look as if I know what im doing! Will head to upper crust cafe and hope to meet you there. Looking forward to it.

Granjura, we will toast you, as there in spirit. Do let me know when you're over. If we can't make a big organised meeting maybe you and I could meet in Harbs. x
