Marmight is revisitng old haunts about that time, and has suggested to me a visit to the V&A. She only has two free days, and I can't make it on the other, so it seems it will be Wednesday May 1st.

Anyone else interested? Any advice from those who have been there on best time to arrive, what to see, where to eat, etc?

Elizabeth1 that's true she was. You'll have to plan the next meet up to suit yourself wink

Marydoll Wed 10-Apr-19 08:05:56

I was just saying at Edinburgh, that I missed you! smile

Elizabeth1 Wed 10-Apr-19 07:48:02

Who said I’ve retired wink I’m either at work these days or away to Tenerife. So sorry to be missing out on these lovely meet ups.

Marmight Sat 30-Mar-19 12:00:50

Sorry to miss you Eliz.

Katek Sat 30-Mar-19 11:38:24

I will definitely be joining you all on 1st but only for lunch. I’ll make travel arrangements once I know when we’re eating. Looking forward to this - enforced incarceration with the shoulder has been driving me stir crazy!

Sorry Elegran would loved to have come however I’ll be in Aberdeen that day. Have a fab time everyone these days Dundee is a lovely place to visit.

Are any of you interested in some felting equipment and a huge bag of wool for it? A friend is clearing her stash and has stuff she bought on a wave of enthusiasm, but has hardly used. I could try to bring it with me - presumably it could go in a left luggage place or similar while we eat and wander. I'll ask the people coming to the Botanics meetup too, though thast might not be so easy to store as at the rail station or the V&A.

Grammaretto Fri 15-Mar-19 09:10:09

Thanks. I'm working on it...

cascats Fri 15-Mar-19 09:05:39

It would be good Grammaretto, if you could make it.

Marmight Fri 15-Mar-19 09:05:00

Yeh! Do come. The more the louder merrier

Elegran Fri 15-Mar-19 08:56:16

Do come, Grammaretto

Grammaretto Thu 14-Mar-19 21:40:35

I could maybe join you too, probably on the pensioner's bus. (autocorrect wanted me to write prisoner's)
I have been before but I'd love to go again when it won't be quite so busy.

Marmight Thu 14-Mar-19 20:57:53

Sorry to miss you Baubles. Its been ages! Will have to organise something in the Autumn if I can struggle north again- or, a southerly outing perhaps....?

baubles Thu 14-Mar-19 20:50:15

So sorry to miss this, it would’ve lovely to see you again Marmight, as well as all the others of course grin.

The V&A is smashing, enjoy.

Marmight Thu 14-Mar-19 20:49:07

Wot! Not champagne?
The train stops at Markinch both ways I think (and annoyingly at Aberdour on the return but not on the up journey!)

Marmight Thu 14-Mar-19 20:46:47

I've got my tickets too. Shall we wait a bit before booking the restaurant in case anyone else joins the party?

Elegran Thu 14-Mar-19 20:43:14

I'll tuck it into my backpack.

Marelli Thu 14-Mar-19 20:30:51

Cascats, (sorry, I’ve just seen your post) - hopefully the 10.39 leaving Kirkcaldy will stop at Markinch? We’ll check nearer the day.
Elegran, will you be bringing our usual crate of brown ale? ?

Elegran Thu 14-Mar-19 20:19:15

OK, I have my ticket for the train arriving at Dundee at 11.24. I'll see some of you at Kirkcaldy and the rest at Dundee.

I am getting the 16.50 back.

There will be Marmight, Katek, Marelli, Ina, Cascats, Me and possibly Anno.

cascats Thu 07-Mar-19 20:30:09

Sounds like a great idea Marelli, but will most likely get it from Markinch ( if it stops there ), as closer to home. grin. Let me know what train you are planning nearer the time and will check it out.

Marelli Thu 07-Mar-19 13:59:16

Thanks, Marmight
It would be lovely if you could come too, anno. ?

Elegran Thu 07-Mar-19 10:45:42

That would be good, Anno.

annodomini Thu 07-Mar-19 10:41:59

I need to visit my sister in Dundee soon and am not sure if I can put it off till the beginning of May, but if I am, I will definitely see you all then.

Marmight Thu 07-Mar-19 10:18:51

Kirkcaldy. I have to get off the one from Aberdour.

Marelli Thu 07-Mar-19 10:08:55

Marmight, is that the time of the train from Aberdour or Kirkcaldy?
