Tegan and I are planning to visit Edinburgh Zoo some time during the week starting 7th September. Marelli might be there. anyone else interested? We'd need to dedicate a day to it, about 11 am - 4.30pm. There is a cafe, and various ice-cream and crisp kiosks. Looks like no panda babies this year again, but there are some baby meercats www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news/2015/08/more-mini-meerkats-at-rzss-edinburgh-zoo/

That was to Jane, not you baubles

Marelli Wed 26-Aug-15 21:11:01

I can do the 10th! Wonder if Elizabeth1 can make it, as well? I'll try and find out. smile

Elegran Wed 26-Aug-15 21:14:10

That's good that you can make it, Marelli I hope E.lizabeth1 can too

I'll be at Holiday Inn from lunchtime on Sat 12th to lunchtime Sunday 13th. Heading out for dinner with family at 5pm Sat so can do afternoon tea on Sat, or morning coffee Sun.

Sorry to be missing you Tegan whilst you are 'oop North' I am 'doon South'. Would be over Edinburgh BB sitting prior to making the trip but not the right dates.
Catch up in Oct maybe if you are free.
Enjoy your visit, whatever you manage to do.

Tegan Wed 26-Aug-15 22:24:40

Possibly away 9-18th October. Other than that am around. May have a Market Harborough meet up towards the end of October by the way.

Elegran Wed 26-Aug-15 22:47:34

katek I would rather do morning coffee on Sunday 13, but will wait to see what Jane says

Jane10 Thu 27-Aug-15 07:51:47

Fine by me. Coffee on Sunday 13th at Holiday Inn. What time? Have to give katek time for a massive hotel breakfast!

Katek Thu 27-Aug-15 11:38:16

Does 10.45 suit? Will give me time to roll from dining room to comfy seat!

Elegran Thu 27-Aug-15 11:52:25

Suits me.

Jane10 Thu 27-Aug-15 12:47:49

Me too. Looking forward to it. Hope the zoo trip goes well.

Katek Thu 27-Aug-15 12:56:07

Looking forward to it as well! See you next week.

Would love to have joined you, as I am missing the Inverary meet up today but will be away from 10/24 September. Have a good time everyone and see you next time..........

Elizabeth1 Wed 02-Sep-15 06:09:37

Gosh when am I going to be able to rekindle these beautiful friendships. sad have a good time everyone - I'll be thinking of you. envy

Marelli Wed 02-Sep-15 16:09:40

Although not a Gransnetter, my friend Ina would love to come with us to the Zoo next Thursday. Would that be ok with everyone? smile

Elegran Wed 02-Sep-15 16:11:41

Of course she can! (Maybe we can recruit her?)

Marelli Wed 02-Sep-15 16:30:36

You never know, Elegran! She's a wee bit shy, but I'm sure she'll be fine once she's seen how lovely everyone is!

hildajenniJ Wed 02-Sep-15 17:49:43

Sorry everyone, I can't come. Nothing works for me. I don't think I am ever going to get to a meet-up. sad

Elegran Wed 02-Sep-15 18:12:45

That is a shame. HildajenniJ but watch out for the next one.

janeainsworth Wed 02-Sep-15 18:20:23

I would love to have joined you but MrA has just had his hip replaced and will be requiring some TLC for a while.

Marelli Wed 02-Sep-15 20:53:52

Oh hildajenniJ, I was looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully we'll get a chance soon, though.

Elizabeth1 Thu 03-Sep-15 07:12:46

I would love to meet up for coffee on the 13th - The Holiday Inn has a car park so getting there shouldn't be a problem. Marelli I could pick you up and one other from Fife. cupcake

Elegran Thu 03-Sep-15 12:28:30

That is good Elizabeth1

Marelli Thu 03-Sep-15 20:06:22

I'm away on holiday - going down to Findhorn on 11th. Have lots of brew and cupcake for me, though! smile

baubles Thu 10-Sep-15 20:16:35

We went to the zoo, zoo, zoo.......

What a good day, thanks again Elegran for organising us. smile
