Any Grans fancy a meet-up in York in the last two weeks of January? No date or venue has been arranged yet. Fridays are good for me but we can choose a date which suits most people.

Glad you all had a good time - thanks for the good wishes Alygran oldgoat and Greyduster. I am in the house and - mostly - unpacked. And ( after a wild gale on my first night that my DD assures me isn't normal weather) the sun is shining and I am off to explore the neighbourhood! Hope to make the March meet up.

Lovely to see everyone again. Really looking forward to meeting in March and for our spring walk with a few more grans too. Hope the move is going to plan Millbrook

A walk around the walls would be good artyfarty especially when the daffodils are in bloom. We'd have to watch our step though on the narrow bits - could be so engrossed in conversion that we might lose somebody over the side!!

An extremely enjoyable few hours in very good company! Best wishes for your new life in Yorkshire, Millbrook - we are truly wonderful people grin!

I really enjoyed our lunch, such lovely company. Another walk I meant to suggest for warmer weather is around the walls, one of my favorites.

Hope the move went well today kupari We were thinking of you and also that you, millbrook will enjoy living in God's own county.

I really enjoyed our meet-up today -
a tasty lunch (I haven't had rabbit for years) and excellent company.
Hope a few more Grans will be able to join us at our next meeting in March or on our Springtime walk along the Ouse (with lunch, of course).

Thanks Millbrook Hope the move goes well
See you next meetup.

I was hoping to have made it to this lunch, but the house move dates didn't quite coincide. At the moment I am surrounded by all my belongings, and a sea of packing boxes. Somehow, by Monday morning, the former have to get into the latter (gulp) and then they will all make the 322 mile journey to my new home in West Yorkshire!
Looking forward to coming along to the next meet-up, and hope you all have a lovely time tomorrow.

I plan to be at Côte Brasserie around midday so should have plenty of time for a chat. What are your train times Greyduster ?

Greyduster Thu 18-Jan-18 11:07:38

I may have to catch a slightly earlier train back than last time as I had forgotten we are supposed to be babysitting tommorrow evening, but it should still give me plenty of time. Looking forward to it!

oldgoat Thu 18-Jan-18 10:11:42

See you all tomorrow. There should be five of us, possibly 6 if Ginggran decides to come too.

Snap, gd ??!

Greyduster Tue 16-Jan-18 20:06:14

One of these days, Gq, one of these days! You’re on my bucket list! ?

grannyqueenie Tue 16-Jan-18 14:13:12

I’m so sorry and disappointed too that I’m yet again not able to be there. Wishing you all a lovely time catching up. Hopefully I’ll make it another time x

oldgoat Mon 15-Jan-18 18:53:28

Fingers crossed that you don't get snowed in greyduster. Really hope that you can make it on Friday.

Alygran Mon 15-Jan-18 16:20:31

Good news GreyD. Looking forward to meeting you again.

Greyduster Mon 15-Jan-18 16:11:09

Four of us. Booked my train - fingers crossed the weather is okay. Keep me a seat!

oldgoat Mon 15-Jan-18 09:46:17

Thanks alygran That's three of us now. Hope the others can make it but perhaps the rough weather will put them off.

Alygran Mon 15-Jan-18 08:32:21

Me too. Have my train ticket. Looking forward to seeing you all.

oldgoat Mon 15-Jan-18 08:11:31

Great! See you on Friday artyfarty

Artyfarty Sun 14-Jan-18 13:02:01

I’ll be there. Look forward to seeing you all again.

oldgoat Sat 13-Jan-18 22:03:39

Not long now until the next York meet-up on Friday 19th January at Côte Brasserie in Petergate.

Please could you all confirm whether you are still planning to join us.
