Can't do the walking but food and talking - especially talking - lie well within my capabilities!!

Marelli Tue 16-May-17 12:00:19

Oops..... I've typed too many buses! And Elizabeth1 has already told you that! I must lie down - it must be the shock of doing the ironing. ?

oldgoat, you won't be able to get a train to St Andrews (only as far as Leuchars, where you could get a bus - they run regularly). There are buses also buses from Kirkcaldy that (I think) start at Edinburgh. Maybe you and Elegran could travel together?

A wee visit to St Andrews - Any burning ambitions to see or do anything special while we're there apart from chatting, eating and drinking?

oldgoat- the nearest railway station is Leuchars and there's buses from there to St Andrews town centre otherwise you could get a bus straight from Edinburgh to the town centre

I would love to come on the 27th or 28th if DD will have me to stay and you can get trains from Fife to St. Andrews.

EllenT Mon 15-May-17 12:54:37

It's tempting, have lived in Scotland for 18 years but never seen St Andrew's. Could you add me as a possible? And I'll fit in with your agreed date if I come up. (Back from a long holiday early that week so may just want to be home for a bit by then.)

Katek Mon 15-May-17 10:38:46

Can you add me to the list *elizabeth' - I can manage any of those dates.

mcem Sounds a great idea smile

Maybe we should pm to find out just what we were doing, when and where!

MawBroon Sun 14-May-17 15:31:29

It would be funny if we met and recognised each other!(unlikely, but funny!!) grin

One of my sons is at uni at St A's. I love the place too.

mcem Sun 14-May-17 10:24:41

Having met mawb on GN and discovered that we were at St A at the same time in the late 60's, I'm sorry we didn't meet up then. I think we might've got on quite well!

I love Saint Andrews. A favourite holiday destination, when our children were small and I was a golf widow?. One of my colleagues retired early and moved there. envy

MawBroon Sat 13-May-17 20:05:19

Please give it my love! Paw and I met there in our first year and I LOVE the place.

Charleygirl Sat 13-May-17 19:42:50

The thought of St. Andrews makes me homesick

Elizabeth1 Sat 13-May-17 19:21:26

Awe baubles so sorry you can't make it - another time sad

Any of those days would suit me.

I can't as I'll be away but it's a lovely idea.

Marelli Sat 13-May-17 16:38:32

That sounds nice. I'd be ok for 28th or 29th. ☺️
