Lunch in Edinburgh [Edited by GNHQ at OP's request]

Do you ever come home, Elizabeth1? It seems you spend more time in the sun than away from it!

Oops I’m away on holiday these two dates I’m off to the

Should have added, on either of those dates.

Grandelinquent I can join you then for lunch, so that would be three of us anyway, with your friend. She could join Gransnet from Canada, I'm sure. There are people from the US and Australia on GN>

Marydoll I haven’t been asked to pay a deposit. See you all soon.

How about lunch on Thursday 8th November ? I would have recommended Royal Overseas League but sadly it is closed and building is to be sold . I'm guessing something central is best for everyone and recommendations welcome. I could do 30th October, although I'll have a Canadian/Scottish friend with me (don't know if they have Gransnet in Canada) if that's OK. She's a new Gran!

Elizabeth, do we need to pay a deposit?
I'm so looking forward to it.

Hi everyone
What a great interest in this lunch meet up. I’m going to speak to the restaurant today to request an increase in numbers and get back to you all with their confirmation.

Sorry just back from hols. If it's OK Marydoll had already advised about this meeting. Would it still be ok for me to attend?

And maybe Rosalee.

Have I got everyone? WOW

All is well with the world. I'm coming to the lunch!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Rosalee, Elizabeth1 haS kindly organised it.
The Old Waverley Cranston’s restaurant is now booked for Friday 28th September at 1.45. I’ll update numbers as and when however hopefully I’ll have all confirmed by the 21st. Please pretty please. Sorry they couldn’t take us earlier.

Hi, I'd really like to join in a lunch too. I meant to attend before but couldnt manage it. Its September now so has anyone decided a date and a venue?

We'll need to fix something for one or other of those dates then, Grandeloquent (or both?)

On this occasion, yes, although I'm normally up for much longer. I hope to make another trip before Christmas. I try to get up to Edinburgh every other month for a couple/three weeks but babysitting down here sometimes makes it difficult . . . I never had a Gran around when I was a kid, or when I was a young Mum, so I want to be there for my DD and DGD's . . .

Wiull you just be in Edinburgh for one day on each of those dates, Grandeloquent ?

Grandelinquent you’re more than welcome to come along on September 28th. Lunch has been booked for 1.45 however some may wish to meet in the bar for a chat prior to that. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks. I will be in Edinburgh on 30th October, and again on 8th November.

Keep watching the forums for planned meetups, Grandelinquent or even post a new thread yourself with dates when you know you will be in Edinburgh, and ask if anyone else would like to meet up. Include Edinburgh in the title, then it will get noticed.

I don't live full time in Edinburgh as I'm needed quite a lot for GPD's elsewhere, but would love to join as and when if that's ok?

Glad to see your are now more mobile, Jane. I hope to see you skipping along Princes Street.?‍♀️

There's a very nice bar/lounge area at the Old Waverley. Of course it might be quite busy if they have something big on in the dining room. I'm willing to risk turning up a bit earlier.
Otherwise, lots of time for shopping. I remember shopping... ( it's been a while!)
