Hi to all Northumberland Gransnetters!

I'd like to arrange a meetup for us in September- my suggestion is:

Monday, 11th September at Heighley Gate garden centre near Morpeth at 10.30.

Some of us have been trying to get together for a little while, so I thought I'd get a bit specific! ?

All welcome, so please get back to me to let me know your thoughts on date and venue - I know that this could mean a bit of a travel for some of us, but it would be lovely to meet up.

It was great to see everyone this morning. I haven't laughed so much in ages!
Looking forward to the next get together and hope that Hilda and glassortwo can make it too. (I went through something very similar with my mum a few years ago so I can really empathise with you).

Hi Ladies

I’m thinking it would be nice to meet up next week (week beginning 27th November).

I know this is short notce and everyone is busy this time of year - I won’t be able to make it until after 13th December if we don’t get together next week.

Happy for suggestions on where to meet - Heighleygate, Dobbies or somewhere further afield.

As ever, anyone who hasn’t joined in our local meetup is very welcome to join us.

Hope to hear from you soon!

☕️??

So sorry Jane, but I won't be able to meet up for coffee until the new year. Trying to cram everything in before daughter's baby arrives mid December!
Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and looking forward to meeting up again in the new year.

So sorry Jane, I can't do the 27th. I'm going to Harrogate on the 28th for a few days, and to take in the Country Living Christmas Fair. My DH and I try to go every year. I might make a meet-up one day. smile

Hi Everyone!

Seems like we are all busy elves, so I suggest we meet up next year - how about Tuesday 9th January. Let me know your thoughts.

In the meantime, have a lovely Christmas and New Year!

Enjoy the baby, Janet!

Best wishes!

Hi everyone
Thanks for your good wishes Jane. Baby arrived on Wednesday at 2.35 am, five days early and only 90 minutes from arrival at hospital! He is gorgeous.
Christmas preparations have gone a bit haywire as we were looking after the 2 year old from Tuesday night and thought we would have a bit more time until baby arrived!

I will pencil in the 9th January for a get together.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Where and what time, Jane? No snow forecast so I should make it! ?

Liz

granjan15 Sun 07-Jan-18 21:16:36

I can make it too, Jane. As Liz says, where and what time? Heighley Gate?

Tuesday is my DGD 11th birthday. Also DD has her birthday on Thursday. Can't make this meet up either. I might manage it one day.grin

Hi All

Great!

Shall we say 10 am at Heighleygate Costa?

Looking forward to a catch up - sorry you can’t make it Hilda, seems you have a busy social life! We ll be meeting in Feb I’m sure. You can suggest a date for us please as we are dying to meet you smile.

All welcome - if you haven’t met us before just come along- there’ll be a red handbag on table!

Hi Plainjaney and granjan15 it was good to catch up this morning even though it was a bit chilly!

re possible February meet up, it turns out my birthday is on a Sunday but we don't need an excuse to meet!

granjan15 Tue 09-Jan-18 17:37:35

Yes it was lovely to catch up with you both. Had to have the heater on full on the way home to get warm again!

Looking forward to seeing you again next month.

Plainjaney Wed 10-Jan-18 07:27:32

Agree, Ladies - we had a lovely chat and lots of laughs see you in February ?x

Plainjaney Sun 04-Feb-18 11:04:47

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well.

Sorry fir short notice, but can anyone meet up on Tuesday - any time, any place.

If not we’ll try for another date in the next couple of weeks.

lizzypopbottle Sun 04-Feb-18 13:29:45

Hi Jane, I can do Tuesday. Anywhere. Any time.

granjan15 Sun 04-Feb-18 22:56:08

Hi Jane and Liz
I'm afraid I can't make it on Tuesday. ☹️
Tuesdays and Wednesdays would normally be my best days at the moment but not this week unfortunately.
Have fun on Tuesday and I hope to see you both at the next get together.

Hi Jane,

I cannot manage a Tuesday or Thursday, hope to manage the next meeting

lizzypopbottle Mon 05-Feb-18 13:29:29

More or less any day suits me, really. I'm open to other suggestions and don't mind travelling as long as we're not snowed in!

Plainjaney Mon 05-Feb-18 13:47:44

Hi

It’s half term next week, so we could work on the week after to suit everyone.

I can still meet you tomorrow in Morpeth, Liz - unless you want to wait.

hildajenniJ Mon 05-Feb-18 13:51:07

The car is making funny noises so I daren't drive it very far!!! It's going into the garage for investigation tomorrow so I could do Thursday if I can get to you on public transport. Bus is best, it's free!

lizzypopbottle Mon 05-Feb-18 21:08:27

Hi Jane, meeting in Morpeth would be nice. We could scope out some other meeting places. The only drawback is that it's my fasting day so it's coffee only for me. I do the 5:2 with my son and he's the chief cook so if I change my day, he has to as well or I won't get fed at teatime!

lizzypopbottle Mon 05-Feb-18 23:12:26

Hi Jane, Let me know on the whatsapp group if you still want to meet. Liz
