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?

Thank you all, enjoyed today, great company and interesting food.

Looks like you all had a lovely time. We're in Dundee later this month but it won't be as much fun!

Elegran Wed 01-May-19 19:10:07

A nice meal and blether, and a unique and interesting building. Thank you, Marmight.

The book is fine, Katek, some pages slightly crinkled but none of them stuck together, and all the patterns are readable.

Marmight Wed 01-May-19 18:52:30

Lovely to see everyone!

Fab day out again! Thanks for organising Marmight. Was lovely to see everybody - hope your book has dried out Elegran. Will see the Tailend gang in Julygrin

Marelli Wed 01-May-19 16:58:07

It was a lovely day out. Really interesting building and exhibits/information.
Smashing lunch ??!
Lovely to see everyone and will hopefully see you again in July at St Andrews.

Grammaretto Wed 01-May-19 16:50:27

On the way home now. Tired but happy. It was a lovely day out in Dundee. Thanks for organising it.
See some of you in St Andrews hopefully.
Special get well soon wishes to Marydoll flowers

Hope you all have a good time tomorrow at the new V & A museum. I will be spending day at children’s farm venue not far away from Dundee celebrating DGS1 3rd Birthday. Enjoy your day! smile

Grammaretto Tue 30-Apr-19 11:26:01

Can you save me a place at the table?
I'll come on the bus. I'm chairing a meeting in the evening back here so will have to remain sober!

Elegran Thu 25-Apr-19 17:15:17

Well done, Marmight

Marmight Thu 25-Apr-19 17:00:08

All booked. 1.15 Tatha Bar

Katek Thu 25-Apr-19 08:52:07

Thank you Marmight. I’ll time my arrival for 1pm and see you all in the restaurant.

Elegran Thu 25-Apr-19 08:49:35

Yes, please, Marmight.

Marmight Thu 25-Apr-19 01:39:02

We arrive in Dundee at 11.30. Shall I book a table? Can do it on line.

Katek Wed 24-Apr-19 22:43:11

What time are we meeting for lunch?

annodomini Tue 16-Apr-19 13:00:34

I might be up sometime in the summer and would love to meet up in St Andrews.

Marelli Tue 16-Apr-19 12:09:29

That's a shame, anno. I was really looking forward to meeting you. x

annodomini Tue 16-Apr-19 11:28:22

I wish I could say I'd be in Dundee on May 1st, but at the moment it looks unlikely. So sorry to miss you, but hope you have a great get-together.

Elegran Tue 16-Apr-19 10:53:54

I can't do St A between 22nd and 29th June (and 17th to 22nd could be difficult too)

Why not start a new thread on that, Elizabeth1, separate from this one?

GeminiJen Tue 16-Apr-19 10:50:19

Elizabeth1 That would be good for me. Any time between June 17 and 27. Ages since I visited St Andrews

MawBroonsback Mon 15-Apr-19 18:25:17

I would give my eye teeth to visit St Andrews again grin

Elizabeth1 Mon 15-Apr-19 18:04:34

Sometime the end of June perhaps, this will give a tiny wee break away from the previous get together. Fish and chips yummy.

Grammaretto Sun 14-Apr-19 19:30:05

St Andrews is very nice but it would depend on dates as we have a family wedding in June.

Katek Sat 13-Apr-19 16:32:47

Would that mean fish and chips..........?! grin

Elizabeth1 Sat 13-Apr-19 16:10:58

I’m free the month of June - any takers for a visit to St Andrews?
