Edinburgh mid-December meet 2017

There's always room for one more, Omagranny. Look forward to meeting you. Will you have far to travel?

Do you have room for one more? I'd love to join you.

Just caught up. Belated thanks to Elegran for making the ROSL booking. Hope to see you all there

Storynanny the best way to see Glasgow in a short space of time is to do the bus tour.
A word of warning, the M8 Will be really busy tomorrow from Edinburgh to Glasgow. You will need at least two hours, to be on the safe side.I know I would. LOOK OUT FOR THE BUS LANES IN GLASGOW.
Otherwise enjoy your day in Glasgow, lots to see. Kelvingrove Museum is worth a look, if it is really wet and it's s free, as is the Museum of transport. Enjoy!

Had a lovely day today in the sunshine! Went to royal yacht Britannia on the bus ( thanks for the tip Elegran) thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr Storynanny spotted himself ( well the ship he was on on the actual day) on the big map ( on the wall if the dining room ) of the 1977 fleet review in the solent. He was very excited as he had never seen the map or photo before.
Up at crack of dawn tomorrow to return the b.......... hire car to glasgow before 10 so as not to incur even more charges!
Yes will def return one day before my knees give up compketely.
Now off to find another thread about day in glasgow before evening plane ( fortunately not ryanair!)

Rats! I've just seen this and sadly can't manage as Wednesdays are childminding days.

I am sure you will be back again in the future, Storynanny, maybe concentrating on Edinburgh next time. We will meet then.

Ah never mind. I'm glad to have arrived in Edinburgh after 5 nights travelling around in rather ....rustic accommodation. I think I am too old for this sort of holiday! I want a bit more comfort than 200 year old remote B and B 's in the middle of nowhere! Mr Storynanny loves it though so we will continue to compromise.

I am sorry but I not sure I will be joining you after all, Storynanny. Since I last posted on this thread I have come down with a raw throat and a fierce headache and I have gone through several packs of tissues. I don't think you would want the end of your holiday ruined by getting it. It is most annoying because I was looking forward to hearing about your trip. Do hope you are going to tell us the highlights.

Will be having a wander around Edinburgh on Tuesday, so I will broadcast my afternoon tea cafe location with plenty of notice for any of you lovely Edinburgh gransnetters to join in if you are free!

Let's hope the rota works out for December!

Thank you. I'm really keen to meet everyone, but my DIL's rota is never the same two weeks in a row and she only gets four weeks at a time, so it's hard to plan anything. Fingers crossed.

Yes, Marydoll the numbers don't have to be final until the last minute. I will add you as a "possible".

I have just caught up with this, having been on holiday.
I would love to come, but won't know my childminding dates until beginning of December, when DIL gets her rota.
Would it be possible to let you know then?

Nice to hear Lurkio is coming too.

There's a fantabulous wool shop in Gourock. Just sayin'

Lurkio added. Not exactly a stranger though - she has been to several things, but not for a while.
That is now 12.

Elegran, please could you add a 'wee stranger', (you will remember her by her nickname of 'Lurkio' ?).

Haha! Yes I will.

In years to come you will look back nostalgically on this holiday, storynannie

Car ferry to Skye cancelled due to high winds so driving round from fort willuam

Ah thank you I have heard of them, I think I have bought online from there.

Wel done, Marelli. I wouldn't have known where to go for wool.

What a nightmare, storynannie but it has to improve from now on! The sun is out this morning, that'll help.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat. Hope it only lasts a couple of days. Actually, I woke up at 3.50 and couldn't get back to sleep - whenever I was almost over the edge, my throat gave a kind of croak and woke me up again. Not a snore, a sort of dry rasp.

Have just taken delivery of a Tesco online order - no need to trek to the shops!

The wool shop I was talking about is McAree Brothers, 19 Howe Street, Edinburgh. ☺️
