...some of us are keen to have another meet up. I think the art gallery was a good place, especially now it has been re vamped. I'm away on and off quite a lot over the next couple of months, but if any of the 'locals' arrange something I'll do my best to fit in. The good thing about the art gallery is that there's no need to book a table so numbers can be more flexible.

Looks like thee and me, Tea and cake. All good smile

Blinko Tue 10-Oct-17 16:33:00

Sorry you won't be there, Anya and PensionPat. Next time, I hope flowers[

Hello, an extra bracket crept in..

Blinko Tue 10-Oct-17 16:34:31

Ooh and NannyJan53. Excellent!

Blinko Tue 10-Oct-17 16:35:39

Plus hopefully, Lazigirl. I think we have a quorum...

NannyJan53 Tue 10-Oct-17 20:30:57

I will keep a look out for a Coral Mac smile

Pity the weather's a bit rubbish. Never mind, looking forward to our meet up at 11am.

NannyJan53 Wed 11-Oct-17 08:49:14

Yes, its very windy, just back from having a flu jab! See you later, I will be wearing a greeny/grey padded jacket!

Tea and cake Wed 11-Oct-17 09:01:52

I feel we should be carrying copies of The Times and muttering out of the sides of our mouths ?

Blinko Wed 11-Oct-17 09:09:21

NannyJan53 Wed 11-Oct-17 11:14:44

I am here but cannot see anyone?

NannyJan53 Wed 11-Oct-17 13:58:10

2 mins after I posted, we all met up smile . Had a pleasant couple of hours chatting. Thanks ladies lovely to meet you.

Tegan2 Wed 11-Oct-17 14:03:24

Phew; that's a relief. As I wasn't able to make it [although I know I didn't say I was definitely going to] I've been on a massive guilt trip! Glad you had a good time. Hope to make the next one.

Tea and cake Wed 11-Oct-17 14:21:27

Lovely to meet you too NannyJan and Blinko and HelloBaby (hope I've got your name right!), even though the whole of Birmingham was one huge building site!! See you at next meet up, hopefully, and will look out for your posts ?

Blinko Wed 11-Oct-17 18:09:34

Great to see Tea and Cake and NannyJan53, and a surprise drop in by HelloBaby complete with newest DGD. Very cute!

What about a meet in Grand Central,(New Street Station) I have eaten in Carluccio's upstairs, and it is excellent. Plenty of others further along to choose from.

Anya Mon 23-Oct-17 12:57:18

The German Market?

Elrel Mon 23-Oct-17 13:20:54

I was sorry not to be able to join you. How lovely to meet HelloBaby's new GD! The German Market sounds a good idea.
I can't manage Tuesdays or Wednesdays at present. I'm enjoying giving 1:1 reading support in an infant school with Beanstalk.

Hi Everyone - are we looking at December now? I'm pretty busy in the first half but believe it or not, not a sausage in the calendar for the week in the run up to Chr.....s. I'm happy to fit in if I can with whatever date comes to the top of the list.

Blinko Tue 24-Oct-17 15:57:25

Elrel, that reading support sounds just lovely. I guess you'll get to see the panto and join in everything Christmassy. Gorgeous!

Tea and cake Tue 24-Oct-17 16:36:00

Only thing is that town will be heaving in mid December...

NannyJan53 Fri 27-Oct-17 07:34:52

You are right Tea and Cake, January may be better now? All those sales smile

pensionpat Fri 27-Oct-17 07:58:35

January would be better for me. I run a charity stall for the whole of December.
