Love to meet up for a cuppa in Lincoln if there is anyone around here. I live in one of the villages nearby.

Well, my plans for 11th have been cancelled today so I can now do the Thursday if that helps?

Do you want to change it to Thursday.

If Thursday suits you, also, jeanie then let's do that! Same time and place but 24 hours later.

See you there, Jeanie!
CG, I've had a look at the area where Curtis is. I don't know how well you know Lincoln but, if you take a look at Open Street Map, it's in the bit of the High St between St Mary's St, where the rail station is and St Mark St/Tentercroft St. Curtis' shop is 3 doors up from St Mark Street, and there's space for a taxi to get off the junction and stop to let you out at the beginning of the newly pedestrianised area. There's still works of some kind going on there but you can pick your way around them.
Alternatively, if you're up to the walk from the station, over the level crossing and down the High street, I estimate it as around 400m in total. Hope to see you on Thursday!

Apologies ladies, I haven`t been able to access Gransnet for a few days, and having got it in my head that I wasn`t able to come to the meet up, I have made other plans for Thursday. Hopefully there will be other chances for me to come to Lincoln/shire meet ups.

Oh. We'll miss you CG. sad.But, as you say, there will be other times so let's wait until Nandalot gets home and everyone else is out of hibernation. See you Thursday, jeanie.cafe

Jeanie and Scribbles, did you have a nice meet?

Scribbles Thu 11-Jan-18 23:34:56

Hi, CG. Yes, thanks, we did. We commandeered a corner of the coffee shop and just talked for two and a half hours about anything and everything. Holidays, house moves, husbands, our early fashion faux pas and more. We managed to stay off Brexit, Trump, and gender neutral pronouns so we parted friends.smile. You must come next time.cafe
