The weather is great and the Inverary trip is still nearly a month away. Is anyone up for meeting in/near Edinburgh some time in the next week or two?

That would be good Jane10 I will check with bags first what time she is arriving. I will PM you. I will book ~ 6 (and a half) for 1pm~ ? That OK for everyone

Elegran Wed 08-Jul-15 08:37:46

OK for me. See you then.

Jane10 Wed 08-Jul-15 08:59:58

Fine by me too. Can you also arrange for the weather to be nice too please?

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 08-Jul-15 15:34:28

I will do my best but as The Big Man only really hears from me when I want something doubt that he will oblige.

Marelli Wed 08-Jul-15 16:09:02

I think Marmight and I will be coming by car, so we'll see you there for 1pm. smile

Could I join you, would be coming through on train from Glasgow?

thatbags Sat 11-Jul-15 12:37:30

Yes, do join us, grannyg1 smile.

Jane10 Sat 11-Jul-15 12:59:45

I'm sure you know this but the Glasgow /Edinburgh trains are taking longer due to rerouting due to ongoing work on the line. Just in case! (I got caught out a while ago when the usual 45min journey took an hour and a half!)

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Sat 11-Jul-15 14:58:43

Will make that a booking for 7 and a half then. The delays are only for the trains that would usually go through Croy Jane 10..

Jane10 Sat 11-Jul-15 15:45:31

Its the Winchburgh tunnel that's being worked on so the direct ones from Queen Street to Waverley are off. You'll be coming on the Helensburgh one so wont see any difference.

Marelli Sat 11-Jul-15 16:31:26

Looking forward to meeting you, grannyg1. smile

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Tue 14-Jul-15 09:41:12

grannyg1 Tue 14-Jul-15 19:58:25

Thank you, look forward to meeting you all too.

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 15-Jul-15 07:09:08

Sorry should have clarified..The Gateway Restaurant at the West gate.

Jane10 Wed 15-Jul-15 08:29:08

Anyone planning to park outside -remember to bring change for parking on the street. Oh dear I sound like a right old Gran. OK then and remember to ' go' before you set out make sure you have a clean hankie!

Marmight Wed 15-Jul-15 11:28:34

Thank you 'Mummy' wink

Elegran Wed 15-Jul-15 11:30:33

And don't speak to any strange men in the park . . .

Jane10 Wed 15-Jul-15 12:24:58

Och!!

Marmight Wed 15-Jul-15 12:35:18

.... chance would be a fine thing grin

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 15-Jul-15 17:37:06

And definitely clean underwear in case you get run over......and a Royal helicopter pilot needs to rescue you....

Jane10 Wed 15-Jul-15 20:15:18

Och again!

Marelli Sun 19-Jul-15 15:03:06

I'm so sorry, but I won't be able to come along tomorrow, now. sad
My rather elderly sister-in-law needs my support while she goes to hospital for a 'day-bed' procedure. I hope you all have a lovely meet-up! xx

Jane10 Sun 19-Jul-15 15:37:18

Sorry you can't be with us Marelli. These things do happen and family comes first. See you next time I hope.

Marelli Sun 19-Jul-15 16:15:16

Most definitely, Jane10! smile

Elegran Sun 19-Jul-15 16:58:18

We''l just have to start organising the next right away, Marelli.
I hope all goes well with your sister-in-law. See you next time!
