Having had some really good get togethers shall we try to keep things going?
Maybe the CMK John Lewis café wasn’t the best place for first timers to identify us so how about somewhere smaller or having a table booked?
Any suggestions? Camphill has a friendly café; any other ideas?

Glad you had a good time. Hope to join you for the next one.

Really enjoyed meeting up made to feel most welcome.

Enjoyable meet up this morning ladies. I haven't forgotten about the Mocha Squares recipe but will have to copy it from my sheet.

Hopefully see you at the next one.

Very enjoyable meet up, pleasantly surprised with the cafe.

Mocha Squares Recipe

Oven 160C

8oz SR flour
2ox cocoa
8oz sugar (I use caster sugar or soft light brown sugar)
8oz butter
5oz oats (I use half oats and half dessicated coconut)

Melt the butter in a bowl or saucepan then add in dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Press down into a traybake sized tin and cook for 15 mins. It will seem puffy and soft when it comes out but don't give it any longer!

When cool mix 2oz of melted butter and a tablespoon of very strong coffee into 8oz of icing sugar and add hot water until it can be spread over the traybake.

Cut into chunks; it tastes even better the next day.

I also open freeze some slices and then pack them in a box in the freezer as it makes a lot of slices. Ideal if you're asked to take something for a party or gathering.

Thanks Soupy, sounds delicious. I'll give it a go!

Hi there Milton Keynes ladies. Would anyone like to meet up in June. It’s been a while since our last get together.

grittylemon Fri 31-May-19 12:28:06

Hello. I’m interested in meeting up. Do you have a date in mind?

charliebrown Wed 05-Jun-19 08:52:42

I really enjoyed the last meet up and would like to come along again.

Nannyanny Thu 13-Jun-19 14:12:05

Hi there just wondering to Charlie, Gritty and others if anyone would like to meet in Debenhams cafe at the end of June. It’s central, quite spacious and handy for public transport.

charliebrown Sun 16-Jun-19 08:18:21

I would like to meet up if I am free. Even if anyone finds the previous location at Camphill better that is fine by me too.

ginny Wed 19-Jun-19 22:49:44

Sorry can’t make that as we are away until the middle of July. Hope you have a good meet up.

Nannyanny Fri 21-Jun-19 10:05:37

How about a meet on 1st July at Camphill.

charliebrown Fri 21-Jun-19 10:15:59

I am free on the 1st July. Hope a few more can make it.

NannyHill Sat 22-Jun-19 22:10:07

Love to meet up but unfortunately cannot make 1 July.

Treebee Sat 22-Jun-19 22:27:31

Hey Nannyanny, thanks for taking the initiative, I’ve only just spotted this thread.
I’m Red Hatting on 1st July so not a good day for me.
But even if a couple can make it, do go for it!

Nannyanny Fri 28-Jun-19 16:47:53

Just to let everyone know that the meetup has been changed to Friday 5th at 10 ish Camphill cafe, hope you can make it.

Treebee Fri 28-Jun-19 20:16:32

That’s a busy day for me too, so will give this one a miss. Hope you have a good chatty meet.

NannyHill Sat 29-Jun-19 17:40:50

I’m busy that day as well, have a good meet. See you next time.

charliebrown Thu 04-Jul-19 22:28:21

I am still up for 5th at 10ish - see you there.

Nannyanny Fri 05-Jul-19 13:31:49

That was a lovely meetup. Thank you Charlie et al and the weather was perfect.. Camphill cafe is worth a visit anytime, lovely ambiance and great staff. See you all next time those who couldn’t make it. All the best Gransnet.

Treebee Fri 05-Jul-19 20:30:45

So pleased. Hope to join you next time. x

charliebrown Sun 07-Jul-19 16:20:56

Hi Milton Keynes & surrounding areas
Would anyone like a meet up sometime in November. Where has the year gone?
