BIRMINGHAM

10th October is ok for me too!

Let's see how many others could make 10th October then.

I have put 10 October in my diary and on the calendar and keeping fingers crossed nothing essential crops up that MUST be done then. All being well, see you all then at 11 in John Lewis. I will keep an eye on thread in case there are changes. Will let you know what I'm wearing nearer the time!

Good morning! I’m assuming these meetings are for adults only? I look after my 2yr old granddaughter on Wednesdays.

Hi Dora - it would be lovely to see you irl, as it were.

Would the little one be bored with a few old ladies nattering? Or maybe she would like the outing for a change? We have had the occasional baby turn up accompanying their Nan. Mind you, the conversation does rather tend to centre on the little ones.

No problem as far as I'm concerned anyway.

No problem for me, except being labelled (tongue in cheek of course) as an Old Lady! The concept doesn't exist in my world ? As long as she has lots of things to amuse her it will be good.

T&C you are just a youngster, anyway.

Ha ha, thanks Blinko! ??

Thank you- I will try to make it. She will be quite happy if she can sit and draw.

Hope to see you both there DoraMarr.

Yes, DoraMarr it will be lovely to meet you.

Nannyjan- I like to think of myself as “vintage.”

Hello, new GNetter (and granny) here. This is my first post although I have been lurking for a while.

I live in Birmingham, love JL and would love to come and join you on 10th October.

It would be great to meet you, GrannyBeek. Look forward to it! Keep an eye on this thread, though. Sometimes with the best intentions, meetings don't happen when people can't make it.

Will do, Blinko.

I'll enjoy putting faces to names.

Welcome GrannyBeek, it will be lovely to meet you.

Is this still on?

As far as I know...

As far as I know too, it's still on.

See you all Wednesday

Right, just to recap, that's 11am, John Lewis coffee lounge, 10th October. I'll wear the coral mac (which has been seen on a previous occasion). It seems it helps to know someone to aim for, so to speak. I also have a GN card to sit on the table. I'll bring it along too.

I think we have NannyJan, Tea and Cake, DoraMarr plus 1, Nonnie and GrannyBeek and anyone else who can make it.

Weather forecast seems to think it'll be warm on Wednesday so I'll post in the morning what I'm wearing, just in case I get there first.

I have no idea yet what I shall be wearing! For identification purposes, I am tall with shoulder length curly hair which is currently a rather strange but subtle shade of pink.

Love the sound of your hair GrannyBeek! I've put all my summer things away so will be wearing a dark blue patterned top. I have very short blonde hair and will probably have a piece of cake in front of me! See you all later.

Sorry, it clashes with an Arts Society meeting I really don’t want to miss, but perhaps I can join you all next time.
