Oxfordshire Gransneters

Announcing the inaugural meeting of two Gransneters
in Abingdon this morning.
There must be more of you lurking
in the bosky environs of Oxfordshire, and "bohemian" and I
would love to meet you.
We thought Oxford might be reachable for everyone,
even those, like us, who are dependant on public transport.
The Ashmolian has a good cafe where we could meet, plus lots of fascinating exhibits to enjoy.
If the idea of meeting other solo members appeals, a pm to me might help to get this local group off the ground.
Gransnetters of Oxfordshire unite!
Hugs, Leonora 47.

I will put a pink rose on the table Nan ( haven't got any red ones) grin

If you are there before me, I will clutch the rose and walk about the tables looking gormless until you wave.

I am small and blonde smile and could do with losing a bit ( a lot) of weight.

Thanks Roses for getting back to me so quickly. I shall look out for a perfumed pink rose, I do like a rose with a decent scent/ perfume/aroma.

I am small, well 5' 2 1/2" with grey hair which I think is blonde, you will have to make your own mind up about that. I will no doubt be wearing something purple as it is my favourite colour.

Looking forward to meeting you all. Kate

Hope it won't rain, but look forward to meeting you all in the basement cafe ,I will have a rose, nankate in purple, Anya with a slight limp and a batman brolly and Greenfinch with a huge slice of cake, plus anyone else who can make the meet up?????

Greenfinch Wed 29-Jun-16 22:21:50

Looking forward to it. Don't know about the cake but will enter a bit late looking for a rose, a batman brolly and someone wearing purple. Look out for me !

Yes lovely to meet up with you three and to put a face to a name/names.

You would have thought we had known each other for ages. Our get together was easy and relaxed and I got a few recipes off Anya, thanks so much.

Till the next time. flowers

Sounds like you had a lovely time ladies - well done on making that happen ? ?

Greenfinch Fri 01-Jul-16 19:35:35

Thank you ladies for a lovely few hours in the Ashmolean café.I went to Marks on the way to the bus.Just bought myself another cup of coffee only to be evacuated because the fire alarm went off !
If you can, join us for the Reading meet up at the beginning of next month.

Lovely to have met you Greenfinch. Our get together of four Gransnetters was a great success, although your quick exit from M and S not so good.

Good choice of venue Roses.

Hope your foot is on the mend Anya.

Anya Sat 02-Jul-16 08:07:06

Thought that a group of four was ideal number. We certainly had lots to talk about smile

Yes, a good choice of venue Roses ....better than M&S by the sound of it!!!

Shall we start thinking about an Autumn meet up ?Open to suggestions about date and venue etc.The Ashmolean in Oxford was very good and someone once suggested Wallingford. Would early October suit ? Let us have your thoughts.
