Great Pittcity, I think I saw you on the Norfolk Forum, so I will keep you posted. It looks like it could be the end of November.

Me!

I`d love to come, but I`m only in Boston, and the train fare is over £63, so I really can`t afford it, pity.

NfkDumpling Tue 27-Oct-15 07:56:22

That's a pity Number, I don't suppose meting in Knings Lynn would be any easier - everywhere is a long way from anywhere around here!

NfkDumpling Tue 27-Oct-15 07:56:49

Knings?!

I did try once before to meet downtoearth, in her Nellie days, in Kings Lynn, but the trains are stupid. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Kings Lynn from here by car, yet to go by train I`d have to go all the way down to Ely, then change for Kings Lynn, and it took about 3 hours, and nearly £40 fare. Thee aren`t many of us in or near Boston, and nobody seems to want a meet up.

downtoearth Tue 27-Oct-15 17:18:00

I can do kngs lynn if easier

If there was a through train, but they don`t exist anymore, do they, I`d come like a shot, but getting around stations to different platforms is getting more and more difficult, so regretfully I have to say no. If hubby was safe to drive I`d get him to bring me, (under duress!) but he`s not a fit driver lately, although he thinks he is.

How about Ely?

NfkDumpling Tue 27-Oct-15 22:19:14

ooo, thas foren parrts tha' is! Ely is a bit far for me. Thetford at a push.

NfkDumpling Tue 27-Oct-15 22:21:22

Boston doesn't look far on the map - but it's a good three hours from Norwich by car. It's an appalling road.

merlotgran Tue 27-Oct-15 22:24:23

I could do Thetford, especially now the A11 is no longer a nightmare.
