Meet up in Leicester

I still need to work out how to get to Leicester. Does anyone know where the bus station is with regard to the places we're going to visit? Or I might do the train instead #stillcan'tdecide

Tegan will fit in with the majority when finalised. Be lovely to meet some other G Netters.

Tegan ! Soutra ! Grannybug that would be great - which time suits you best - early or later?

Let me think about it for a minute ....of course you can ! [need help controlling this lot when they've been at the cocktails ]

I'm in East Northants but would like to come along if possible

I have realised I don't think I can do a Tuesday unless it's half term as I drive DH to his philosophy course. It is so good for him to get to something stimulating and he will have had to miss 2 previous weeks because of hospital visits. So sorry.

Cocktails, yeah! I'll get a taxi! x

Cocktails!! I'm coming on the train!!!

I think that we should plan the meal round the best time for Nellie as she's the one doing the most travelling [but knows Leicester better than I do therefore, when she's worked out her arrival time will know how long things will take to do. Then again, it might make it easier to meet at the restaurant early and take it from there. Then again, once we sit down and get comfy we might find it difficult to get back up again... #indecisiveasusualme

I'm happy to do either time. X

Great that you can come Nellie.

I am happy with eating later and doing tourism first, but will do whatever anyone else wants. I am going to get my head around my journey now DGS2 has arrived.

I'm just bumping this to see what time we want to book a table. Tegan suggested 2pm so anyone who wanted to could do the Richard III thing first or would you prefer to eat at, say, 12.30 and be touristy later?

And, anyone else like to come apart from Tegan, Teetime, J52, possibly Nellie and, maybe, Soutra? Everyone welcome.

Yes I'm definitely in! x

Love Carluccios too.

Thought I'd better bump this up as we're still going for it but I still haven't done my 'trial run'.

That's a definate granjura; just let us know when you're over .

Definitely can't do 19th- so have fun and 'report' back- I'll be thinking of you all. Next time I am over, I'll see if we can organise another lunch somewhere. It would be lovely to meet you all.

Up was meant to read jl! Beeping phone!

That's good J52!!

I can as far as I know! Carluccios is fine with me. x

Carluccios is good for me unless anyone fancies anywhere else! It's easy to find if you can find up!

Can J52 still make it that day?

Yes, of course you can [especially as you know Leicester]. I wasn't sure when your toddler minding duties would kick in!We need a few people just in case someone can't make it, which often happens; in this case the most likely scenario will be me taking the wrong train or bus and ending up in the middle of nowhere. If kitty can still make it we need to take her diet into account [gluten free].

Can I come too please? I want to see the Cathedral and the exhibition as well as having lunch and meeting you.

My DD will have given birth by then so I won't be on mind the toddler duty.

Lots of other lovely things in Leicester. Abbey Park is lovely but you can't do everything in one day, an excellent market, the museum has a couple of mummys and lots of other stuff.

Entering into unknown territory here; shall we start with 'Leicester' and then move forward from there ?
