I live in Bromley area but an easy 20 minute (free) commute into London. My husband and 1 took early retirement to share childcare of my 7 grand children and in spare time like to use our free Oyster card to explore London. However it quickly became apparent that our expectations wildly differ. His ideal day would be a couple of pints and a Pret whilst I like lively, trendy places for a cocktail and sit down lunch/dinner. So Iā€™m looking for like-minded ladies who might fancy meeting up in Town once in a while.

I would be interested. I live fairly near Bromley and regularly go to central London. In fact this week there has been a thread about arranging a Bromley meet up so you might wish to join that group. If you are interested, send a messsage to Bellanonna.

FYI there is a Bluewater meet up every couple of months.

I don't know what public transport is like from Bromley though.

GrandmaMoira Sat 28-Jul-18 10:27:27

Nina - without a car Bluewater is impossible, From where I live it is a lot of changes of buses and trains and probably worse from Bromley. Central London is an easy 20 minute train jouorney, as OP says.

I would also be interested - either in Town or in Bromley. I live in Brixton but am often in Bromley (20 mins on the train). I used to live between Catford and Beckenham so know the area well; my daughter is at Crystal Palace and my granddaughter works in Bromley.
I'm new here so don't really know how to 'send a message to Bellanonna'

Would you like to meet up at Harvey Nichols one day? I keep trying to find someone who would like to do that!

Grannyknot Mon 06-Aug-18 08:24:42

Loopyloo I'll come to Harvey Nicks smile

GrandmaMoira Mon 06-Aug-18 08:34:56

I might be up for Harvey Nicks.

notgoneyet Mon 06-Aug-18 10:36:36

Tlhank you Marydoll. I'll do that

loopyloo Mon 06-Aug-18 10:39:07

Wow that's a response! How about weds 29th? August.

Grannyknot Mon 06-Aug-18 19:35:03

I should be able to do that.

notgoneyet Thu 09-Aug-18 11:06:50

I'd have loved to come along and meet you all; unfortunately can't do 29th! 30th or 31st would have been fine - Murphy's Law I guess.

Never mind, I'm sure there'll be another time.

loopyloo Thu 09-Aug-18 15:18:44

Ok Grannyknot, I will be at Harvey Nicks at 11am on 29th. And anyone else who is interested!

loopyloo Sat 11-Aug-18 07:43:47

Many apologies, cannot make the 29th as my daughter is working and am needed for child care.

Pittcity Sat 11-Aug-18 09:19:02

Give us an alternative date Loopyloo as I'd love to come if I'm free. (29th was childminding for us too!)

Grannyknot Sat 11-Aug-18 09:21:43

No problem, please suggest an alternative date smile

notgoneyet Tue 21-Aug-18 11:26:06

Just logged in after being away for a few days. I see an alternative date hasn't been suggested, so assume still 29th? If anyone is up for an alternative, I would love to join you - 30th or 31st. However, I expect you've all made arrangements for 29th now, so will hope to meet up another time. Bromley anyone?

Grandelinquent Wed 29-Aug-18 15:12:30

I'm new on this site, but I'm up for meeting at Harvey Nicks.

Grandelinquent Wed 29-Aug-18 15:13:45

Realised August no good for me at this late date, but I'm up for a September meeting.

loopyloo Sat 01-Sep-18 12:06:38

How about Tuesday 18 th September? I am desperate for the DGC to go back to school and to have a trip out!

notgoneyet Sat 01-Sep-18 12:22:12

I'm up for Tuesday 18th Loopyloo. Would prefer not to go to Harvey Nicks (how did the August lunch go?) but will go there if that's what all would like

Grannyknot Sat 01-Sep-18 12:27:05

The august August lunch was cancelled notgoneyet.

I may be able to do the 18th** and am happy with Harvey Nicks. **Am waiting on husband to decide dates for a little away break/road trip.
