Anyone want to meet up for cake and coffee in Glasgow? I look after my granddaughter a couple of days each week and it would be great to meet others in the same position. Bring your babies and toddlers too! Love my granddaughter to bits but without adult conversation my brain will eventually drip out through my ears...

There must be some grannies in Glasgow, up for a meet up. It doesn't have to be lunch. Where are they all hiding? confused

Was speaking to Baggs at our Edinburgh lunch and suggested to a few folks perhaps we could arrange a meet up next year in Glasgow as it’s also a beautiful city. So watch this space. smile

Welcome Katyfrae
At last, some mair Glesca grannies! smile
We were talking about this at the Edinburgh lunch (you would be welcome at the next one at Christmas) and wondering if we could have a Glasgow mini meet quite soon. We area friendly bunch and don't bite!
I'm up to my eyes for the next few weeks, but after that I'm good. At the moment, Tuesdays are good for me.
Come December it will change when DGD to nursery.

Anyone interested in meeting up sometime for a natter or get together with other grans. I'm a newbie on the site ?

Baggs Fri 07-Sept-18 15:53:39

We can do another when others can join us!

Baggs Fri 07-Sept-18 15:53:15

obe, I'm still up for a Bing Dessert on the Dumbarton Road some time this coming week: 10—14 Sept if you are. I'll have seen my youngest DD off to uni and it's my elder grandson's ninth birthday during that week. Celebrations are in order! Wanna join me? Let me know. ???

Me tooOBEWAN How about October?

Marydoll Tue 04-Sept-18 23:21:42

OBEWAN, I'm still up for a meet.

OBEWAN Tue 04-Sept-18 23:16:03

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

Marydoll Tue 04-Sept-18 10:21:05

Jan, I wondered where you were lurking.grin
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!

Jangran99 Tue 04-Sept-18 09:29:39

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!)

Marydoll Tue 04-Sept-18 08:20:34

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. confused
The first time I went to the Edinburgh lunch, I was so nervous, but everyone was so welcoming.

OBEWAN Mon 03-Sept-18 23:24:37

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?

Marydoll Sun 02-Sept-18 14:10:59

Hi Craicon, your username sounds Scottish.smile

Craicon Sun 02-Sept-18 12:37:20

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.

Marydoll Sun 02-Sept-18 12:22:55

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.

Esspee Sun 02-Sept-18 10:44:35

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?smile

Marydoll Sun 02-Sept-18 09:40:22

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.

Esspee Sun 02-Sept-18 08:34:47

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? smile

Marydoll Sun 02-Sept-18 08:16:35

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

Marydoll Sat 01-Sept-18 12:55:23

There must be other Glasgow Grannies, who are lurking.

Baggs Sat 01-Sept-18 12:10:07

Shows how easy it is. Ugh.

Baggs Sat 01-Sept-18 12:09:49

SCREAM!

I mean you're, of course!

Baggs Sat 01-Sept-18 12:09:24

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?
