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?

Yep. Just looked at the weather forecast. With any luck we'll be indoors for the worst of it. We'll bring our own sunshine smile

Me too. I believe you are meeting in the Botanics? My sister's and my mum's ashes are buried under a beech tree near the herbaceous border.smile
I visit Edinburgh fairly often to see BiL and nieces, but only arrived in UK yesterday so it was a bit too soon to make the trip up north.

Will be thinking of you all anyway brew cupcake wine flowers

Just home after a lovely lunch and chat. Enjoyed our walk this morning after confusion all round but everyone was located in the end. We went to the herbaceous border but couldn't be sure which beech tree we should have looked for Bellasnana however we did think of your mother and sister. Its a lovely place.
Looking forward to the next meet up (no bunk house though!)

Lovely to meet you all yesterday. It was a good rendezvous. Hopefully next time we can take advantage of the gardens - if the rain stays off!

Another great meet-up. So nice to have a good chat and meet a new member. I did wonder what the two women at the next table thought of our conversation - I noticed they went quiet while we were discussing Italian bouncers in kilts.

Marmight - Some of us did walk in the gardens before our meal, while it was still dry.

I know but some of us were stuck in a jam in Barnton wink

Just read in the news that there was a crash and fire on the way to Livingstone, and traffic disrupted because of it. Probably still causing trouble generally when you came over.
