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.

Hi Brenda

Hope you are well!

Would love if you could come to our next meet-up.

Are you able to come Wed September 15th at 10? Somewhere in Morpeth or maybe Tea in the Paddock on the Morpeth Road, just past Guide Post.

What do you think?

Hi, how is everyone? Keeping safe and well I hope. I had my covid vaccination today in Alnwick. It was extremely well organised and the staff and volunteers were really lovely. A step nearer to us all being able to meet up again I hope. Xx

Hi Fennel

Nice to hear from you. Doesn’t look like any of us can meet up anywhere soon. ?
When we can get together, let us know where we can meet you. We don’t mind where we see each other and alway try to accommodate.
Looking forward to a time when we can chink out coffee cups!

I've never managed to meet you at Heighley Gate because I live at the wrong side of the river and had to give up driving last year.
But I was born and grew up in North'land and still have family there. A cousin is a sheep farmer at Otterburn.
Good idea to keep chatting online. Or an App group.

Plainjaney Wed 23-Sep-20 20:44:36

Hi

Hope you enjoy your books, Frugal Piggy.

I’m sure we’ll all get together soon.

TheFrugalPiggy Tue 22-Sep-20 15:40:09

Thank you granjan15. Yes, I was very much looking forward to meeting you all today.
I'm going to have my hair cut tomorrow morning. I am now counting this as having a social life. smile. Later this evening Sainsbury's will be delivering my groceries. I never thought I'd get excited about shopping turning up. On a very positive note, I got my library card today and brought home three books. Wooler library has only recently opened again. I think they'll be seeing a lot of me in the weeks to come!

granjan15 Tue 22-Sep-20 10:13:29

Missing our fun get together so I thought I’d share a virtual coffee with you all.
Hope it’s not too long until we can all meet up again and say welcome to TheFrugalPiggy.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Awwwwwww
?????

So it looks like we have to postpone our meet up.

Such a shame.

We’ll see how things work out so we can get together as soon as is safe/allowed.

Please feel free to chat here.

Jane

Hi Jane and everyone.
No I don’t think we can now. I think we would be breaking the rules rather than just ignoring guidelines, but it is all so confusing!
Just got back from Heighley Gate and the old Costa cafe is only serving takeaways now by the way.

Plainjaney Sat 19-Sep-20 13:20:57

Hi All

Do you think we can still meet on 22nd within the new guidelines?

Jane xx

TheFrugalPiggy Thu 17-Sep-20 22:15:06

The thought of sitting at different tables is very funny. We could set up a WhatsApp group in order to carry out a "real time" chat. grin

Plainjaney Thu 17-Sep-20 20:39:22

Hi All

Shall we keep this date and see how this local lock down pans out ?

Probably nothing to stop us sitting and separate tables and waving smiling at each other!

? ??

... or we might have to wait a bit.

Jane xx

TheFrugalPiggy Thu 17-Sep-20 16:22:04

So it looks like we won't be meeting up next week after all. sad

TheFrugalPiggy Wed 16-Sep-20 19:35:18

Oh I'm so excited! Can't wait to see you all and meet some new pals. I'll be there.
BTW, 5'8" with brown bob. I'll probably be looking lost and confused. smile

Plainjaney Wed 16-Sep-20 11:37:03

Hi All

Shall we say 10 at Heighleygate on Tuesday 22nd?

Looking forward to seeing everyone, especially Frugal Piggy (you won’t be disappointed - we always have a laugh!?).

I will put my small red bag to on table.

☕️??

Hello Frugal Piggy ,
Looking forward to meeting you .
It's exactly a year since we moved north and I came along to our first meeting.
I hope you will love living in Northumberland as much as we do . Despite all the Covid shenanigans it's been the best thing we've ever done .
Xxxx

granjan15 Tue 15-Sep-20 19:54:37

Hi. I can do the 22nd too.
We wouldn’t need to book into the cafe at Dobbies Heighley Gate. It’s just like it used to be except with fewer tables.
What do you think?
