I'd like to add a big thanks to Elizabeth1 for organising this. It was my first meet up and everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food was good and so was the company. It was a very pleasant, unhurried lunch. But I had to dash off at the end to catch my bus home so hardly had time to say goodbye. See you next time I hope.

What a super duper afternoon all 12 of us had plenty to catch up with. The food was delicious and the handsome young men who served us were really entertaining. I did like the floral shirt. Would defo go back there. Thank you to the kindly person who named Cote as serving up great meals. I think they may have us back Baggs

Where to next may I ask?

Baggs Fri 01-Jun-18 22:03:51
