Please add me to your provisional list - will need to re-confirm by your mid-may deadline though - we are moving south in June but probably not quite that early. Looking forward to meeting folk again. Have eaten at one of the Cote branches elsewhere and the food seems both reliable and good.

Elizabeth1 Sun 15-Apr-18 18:21:15

EllenT welcome aboard I’ll wait until mid June before I contact the restaurant to add you to the booking here’s hoping to hear from you then smile there might in fact be more folks wanting to join in.

oldgoat Mon 16-Apr-18 12:22:09

I think EllenT may be down-south by mid-June Elizabeth
Are you moving to York Ellen ?

Grammaretto Mon 16-Apr-18 15:27:16

Elizabeth1 Mon 16-Apr-18 15:54:24

Woohoo! Thanks so much Elizabeth1, see you all soon.

Lots of grans I never met planning this trip – they must have arrived on Gransnet since I left the UK – but still some old friends from the north of England and some Scottish grannies. I hope you have a lovely gathering and I so wish I could join you. Please raise a glass of wine to me if you remember.

Jangran99 Mon 21-May-18 07:31:22

Thanks for update Elizabeth, so looking forward to the meet.??

Katek Mon 21-May-18 11:07:56

Is oldgoat still coming?

GeminiJen Mon 21-May-18 14:13:11

Katek......I spotted that too and will PM her...

EllenT.....Why not give yourself a break for a couple of hours?

oldgoat Mon 21-May-18 14:15:19

Oh no! I hadn't noticed that I'd been struck off the list katek Yes, I am planning to come - been looking forward to it for ages. See you all on the Ist.

EllenT Mon 21-May-18 14:56:39

Would have loved to come to say au revoir, but we take possession of our temporary home down south that day. So driving down to Northumberland then for a recce, prior to the move proper on the following Monday.

Elegran Mon 21-May-18 15:59:15

There is a possibility that I may not be there either. My last remaining (and favourite) aunt has died at 96. The funeral has yet to be arranged but it will mean travelling down the day before and back the day after.

GeminiJen Mon 21-May-18 20:20:56

Elegran...Sad news. Sorry to hear it flowers
I do hope you can make it though....Wouldn't be the same without you
