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.

Catterygirl and I are lunching in the Kitchen. Will find you for tea!

For anyone looking for people there are now two of us having a coffee in the Brasserie Rail in the food hall on the ground floor. I have a pale grey jumper & black trousers. Grannyknot has a stick

So far I've accosted a woman who was horrified that I might think she's a grandmother and someone "looking for a pet".

Grannyknot Tue 30-Oct-18 11:49:28

I'm in the Selfridges Kitchen on the 4th floor! Please someone find me! ?

See you there Catterygirl. Here's hoping I find the right cafe/restaurant. By top floor I'm not sure if that's the roof garden, but I don't think so as online that looks as though it's a proper restaurant. Anyway, I'm sure we'll all get to the right one in the end lol

Catterygirl Tue 30-Oct-18 09:38:01

I am still coming. See you at noon.

Hello everyone, I've just joined and would love to come along on your next meet up. I live in St Albans but would love to come into London as it's an easy journey for me. Miss the good old days when I travelled into London daily for work!

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

I hope to be there also.

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

And me.

Niobe I'll bring the knitting pattern.

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

I second that notgoneyet!

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 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!

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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?

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.
