Hello everyone! Is there any other GNs living in the area of Staines? I would be interested in meeting for a coffee and chat but dont drive and have poor mobility so it needs to be within reach of public transport sorry!

suebcrafty we hope to have another meet up in Staines in a few months' time so I will contact you in case you miss it.We are planning one in Reading for August/September but I guess that is rather a long way for you to come.

No lemongrove as I remember from Oxford you are tall with impossibly long legs and platinum tresses. (Or was that me in the mirror?)

What a pity I didn’t know about this thread before as I only live in Egham but unfortunately wouldn’t have been able to do Thursdays as I meet up with a group of Knitters and crocheters then ?

You are all impossibly lovely and surpassed expectations, as do we all grin on GN.
Someone on GN once told me they had imagined me as tall with dark curly locks (wrong!)

Lovely pic ladies!

My sat nav gave me a lovely ride back through Runnymede and Windsor Great Park. Wish I'd had time to stop for a look round!

I really enjoyed our meet up despite being late having gone to the wrong coffee shop !Thanks Hazbeen for arranging it and I look forward to the next one. Have a lovely holiday.

HAZBEEN Thu 28-Jun-18 14:51:35

I enjoyed that! Hopefully we can do it again soon! By the way Mamissimo you never did tell me what you thought I would look like except you thought curly hair (wrong!), go on you can say now I am not sitting next to you!

Mamissimo Thu 28-Jun-18 14:41:09

Well that was fun! Thank you for suggesting it. ?

Purpledaffodil Thu 28-Jun-18 14:13:55

How lovely to meet today in Staines-upon-Thames! Or St Aines as we call it?
L to R we have Deedaa, Purpledaffodil, Greenfinch, Hazbeen and Mamissimo.
We were discussing, amongst many other topics, what mental images we have of some GN posters. Do we meet your expectations? ?

Just to say if any of you ladies want that map I mentioned or any directions for Thursdays meetup let me know and I will send a PM.
Hope to see you all at Cafe Neros at 11!

HAZBEEN Sat 09-Jun-18 09:59:38

Hi Purpledaffodil! It would be lovely to see you if you can make it.

Purpledaffodil Sat 09-Jun-18 09:18:55

I live about 4 miles away and hopefully can make 28th. Son visiting from abroad at that time so all a bit unknown.
Parking is plentiful, all town centre car parks in easy reach of High St which is pedestrianised.
Greenfinch the station is about 10 minutes from the High St, you can walk through pedestrian tunnel, then through car park and into High St. Nero’s is about half way down.
Hope to see you all there.

I lived for years within a few miles of Staines - and later DD and her father both worked in Staines - and I just cannot get used to the ‘on Thames’ addition.!
Have a lovely time together.

Greenfinch Sat 09-Jun-18 08:48:26

Thañks Hazbeen. That would be helpful.

HAZBEEN Fri 08-Jun-18 22:12:51

I will PM you both with a map if you like.

Deedaa Fri 08-Jun-18 22:04:14

T must liaise with DD, she lived in Staines when she was at university and will know where I can park.

Greenfinch Fri 08-Jun-18 08:09:37

28 June at 11am is fine.
I don't know Staines.
Is the High Street near the train station ?

HAZBEEN Thu 07-Jun-18 23:16:51

Oops forgot to say what time! How about 11am or would afternoons suit you better?
