Glasgow Grannies!

Oh yes I'm up for that!
Never seen you before, so welcome.
Jangran is also another Glasgow granny.
Do you not fancy the Edinburgh lunch on the 28th September. Jangran, Baggs and I go to that. We just go through on the train.

I miss the Scottish grannies – didn't we have fun – and wish I could join you.

I'm up for a Glasgow Grannies meetup, obewan. Does anyone fancy the fabulous Korean icecream place on the Dumbarton Road between Partick Station and Kelvingrove? I took my grandsons there.

Bing Soul it's called.

Hello all! Sorry I can’t make the 28 September but am certainly up for ice cream in Dumbarton Road! Any suggestions for a date/time?

Any time or day during week beginning monday 10 September would suit me, obe. We'll have just seen Minibaggs (youngest daughter) off to uni that weekend so I'll be celebrating/empty-nesting, or something. Ice-cream is the cure anyhow.

There's always Patisserie Valerie near Central Station if Bring Soul doesn't suit everyone.

Bing! not bring ?

There are also nice places in Princes Square for cake, coffee and people watching. However, the ice cream also sounds good.
Tuesday is the day I know I will be definitely not be childminding, but as long as I have notice I can make plans.
I'm not back from Rome until the 12th September and childminding on 14th.

Okay, we better wait till your back from Rome, of only so you can tell us about it over ice-cream or cake, mdoll.

How does the following week, beginning Monday 17th suit people?

SCREAM!

I mean you're, of course!

Shows how easy it is. Ugh.

There must be other Glasgow Grannies, who are lurking.

I'm bumping this thread. We can't be the only grannies in Glasgow.

Lurking in Ibiza here. Don't have my calendar with me so unsure if I am free but if I am I would be happy to pop in to wherever you decide on.
Marydoll, why don't you ladies bus it to Edinburgh? Or are you all too young for a bus pass?

I do have a bus pass, but I struggle with the walk from Central station to Buchanan Street Bus station.
I can get off one train and straight onto the other. I sit with a Krispy Crème choc doughnut, a drink and the Metro crossword. Bliss.
The others pick up the train on the Edinburgh line, so no buses.
It would be lovely to meet you.
Enjoy the sunshine.

Thank you Marydoll, always knew you were a weegie from your name!
Incidentally you can go out of Central onto Hope Street and catch any bus going to Buchanan Bus station if you want to use your bus pass. You an tell I have always been thrifty, can't you?

I know, I'm expert at getting round Glesca! I often take the Subway from St Enoch to Cowcaddens if I'm going to Sauchiehall St. That hill is a killer for me.
I just love train journeys.

Hello Glesga gals. My DH is from Springburn originally and I loved visiting my MIL when she was alive (lived in a retirement complex in Maryhill).
Sadly no rellies still living in Glasgow but we’re planning to have a family visit some day to show the kids/grandkids around. Definitely prefer shopping and visiting Glasgow over Edinburgh.

Hi Craicon, your username sounds Scottish.

Hello All, week beginning 17 September doesn’t work for me - sorry ?. And Marydoll is so right! Where are the Glasgow Grannies? GGs are an institution! Maybe they’re just too busy grannying?

It would be great if more grannies came forward. There must be grannies in Renfrewshire, Dumbartonshire, Lanarkshire, East Renfrewshire etc.
Perhaps they are just shy.
The first time I went to the Edinburgh lunch, I was so nervous, but everyone was so welcoming.

Glesca Grannies sounds good but this one is escaping the GC by having a quiet 2 weeks in Lanzarote,returning just in time for the Edinburgh meet. Yaaayy!!
I will come any other time but sans GC!! My experience says that when we have the weans with us the conversation is all about them!
(That sounds as though I don't like the youngsters and nothing could be further from the truth, but I crave adult time too!)

Jan, I wondered where you were lurking.
I too, would rather be "sans weans". Our is too demanding!
I'm off to Rome on Friday, so excited, even although I've been lots of times before.

Enjoy Lanzarote and I will meet you in Edinburgh, usual place!

Oh well ? The demise of the GGs... I’m off for a very large gin! Enjoy Edinburra ?
