Another wonderful meet up hosted by jollyG. Lots of hard work by organiser extraordinaire Elizabeth1 and hard drinking socialising by others who shall remain nameless but are guessable! There was even singing at times. Lots of photos taken but I sneak in ones when no one's looking!

Remind us to tell you about the fresh smokies from the fishmonger at first St Andrew’s meet up last year oldgoat!!

Great idea oldgoat- guaranteed compartment to yourself!

On the train about to have the 'light breakfast' - saving myself for later. Hoping the cheese in my suitcase doesn't warm up and stink out the carriage.
See you all soon. V. excited!

I'm on my first cup of coffee. Luckily I'm not rushing. DD giving me a lift. See you all there!

Just off!

The clans are gathering!! Just about to leave.....anyone else on the move?

I was thinking we could all wear purple..

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me

You could all wear a pink carnation and carry a rolled up copy of The Times or carry a little sign on a stick that reads ‘Gransnet.......

Thanks jangran I'll look out for you all in the big waiting room. Hope that I recognise you and don't accost a group of innocent bystanders by mistake!

Good idea! See you there!

Having spoken to Baggs and Marydoll we proposed meeting at the big waiting room at Waverley around 12 o'clock.Why don't you have a coffee and meet us there to travel by taxi oldgoat?The weather could be too cold to be waiting for buses.

Please, could somebody tell me the arrangements for meeting at Waverley? What time are we planning to get the taxi?
My train arrives at 11.20 so I could make my own way to Fiona's house if there's already a car full.

Yay Marydoll ?

I'm coming to the meet up, DIL has just phoned me!

Hi, just to let those of you meeting at Waverley to get a taxi. I have been fortunate to be offered a lift, so will see you all there. Looking forward to the afternoon, fingers crossed weather does not spoil it !

UnfortunatelyDIL's mother is like this, not very helpful.
I've messaged DIL to ask her to push it with her.

Marydoll Push her a bit to decide. There is only a week now.

So sorry to hear that, Baubles. You will be stressed with all the worry and uncertainty - the meetup will be just what you need.

I’ve pm you cascats re travel arrangements

I'm sorry to hear your news Baubles.
I'm still unsure if I will be able to come. The other gran has still not confirmed she will cover that day. I do hope so.

MiL died on Sunday and funeral will be middle of next week so as it turns out I will be able to come along.

I’ll join the taxi group if I may?

I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Good news, Marydoll and bad news Grannyactivist. We will be thinking of Baubles.

It is a cliche, but, "There will be other times."
