Meet ups/where are you?

ladies that like to lunch in London

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 I’m looking for like-minded ladies who might fancy meeting up in Town once in a while.

It was so nice to meet you all , Pittcity, notgoneyet, Grannyknot and Flossieturner, today. Didn't the time fly by? I don't mind where we meet next in central London, John Lewis or Selfridges would both suit me.

Live in Beckenham and would love to join a bunch of Bromley gals !

notgoneyet Tue 18-Sept-18 23:06:09

I'm up for that Nann58, either in Beckenham or Bromley - probably Bromley as there's more choice there. Iluvcruz put a message about living in Bromley but meeting in London as it is easy to get to some time ago. I did mention meeting in Bromley then, but haven't heard anything else.

The time did fly by Niobe smile

I've just remembered that I still have half a piece of Harvey Nicks raspberry and lemon cake wrapped in a serviette (well, it was frozen) in my handbag - elevenses today!

Niobe Wed 19-Sept-18 08:04:58

Enjoy that cake Grannyknot!

Catterygirl Thu 20-Sept-18 22:02:12

I am a regular at the brass rail in Selfridges. Hope to join you ladies in
London as I live local. John Lewis is fine for me. Glad you enjoyed Harvey Nicks.

Any news on a meet up yet?

Niobe Mon 15-Oct-18 21:15:59

Catterygirl , I do hope the others are reading this and we can get something set up for late October.

notgoneyet Mon 15-Oct-18 21:59:21

For me - Friday 26th, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 29th, 30th, 31st are all good days for me, and I'd love to join in again. Any of those dates good for you Niobe, Catterygirl?

Grannyknot Tue 16-Oct-18 06:56:14

Hi everyone, I can do the Monday or the Tuesday (29th, 30th). smile

Niobe Tue 16-Oct-18 08:51:01

30th( Tuesday) is good for me. Top floor food place in Selfridges is good as we can each get whatever type of food we each want and there is a Costa there too.

notgoneyet Tue 16-Oct-18 09:05:38

Great, Grannyknot and Niobe. Let's make it 30th then at 12.00??? and see who else can join us..... I still don't know anyone so will we meet at the entrance?

Margsus Tue 16-Oct-18 13:23:45

I'd love to join you all if I can!

Catterygirl Wed 17-Oct-18 16:46:07

I have put 30th October on my calendar. See you then. I don't know anybody but soon will.

Niobe Wed 17-Oct-18 19:08:05

30th October at the entrance of the food place on the top floor of Selfridges at 12. Got it!

notgoneyet Wed 17-Oct-18 22:13:47

So that's Grannyknot, Niobe, Catterygirl, myself and hopefully Margsus so far. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Niobe Thu 18-Oct-18 08:58:55

I second that notgoneyet!

Grannyknot Thu 18-Oct-18 11:44:34

And me.

Niobe I'll bring the knitting pattern.

Charleygirl5 Thu 18-Oct-18 21:12:46

I hope to be there also.

Niobe Thu 18-Oct-18 21:16:51

Thank you Grannyknot! Am just finishing a jacket for my DGS so need something else to knit. Will be lovely to see everyone again!

Niobe Mon 29-Oct-18 14:14:18

Sorry ladies but I won't be able to make it tomorrow after all. Have been asked to babysit tomorrow afternoon and I have to help out. Hopefully I will make the next meet up. Once again apologies.

notgoneyet Mon 29-Oct-18 14:24:53

Oh what a shame Niobe, I was looking forward to seeing you again. Heyho, families must come first.

See you again soon hopefully.

Grannyknot Mon 29-Oct-18 15:18:43

Sorry you can't make it Niobe - I'll be there for 12. Looking forward to it.

Pittcity Mon 29-Oct-18 19:09:11

I won't be there tomorrow either. Hope you have a good time and keep an eye out for the next date.

Niobe Mon 29-Oct-18 20:21:26

Thank you ladies. I was so looking forward to seeing you all again. I shall watch this thread to make sure I can make it to the next meet up .
