Edinburgh Christmas meet.

It looks as if you all had a good time. Thanks for the photos - they are lovely.

Thanks for organising a lovely day Elegran .
Lovely to see you all xx

Hurray! Home at last!
I shared a taxi with 5 other people from Newcastle to York. Wildly extravagant but there were 600 people waiting for coach transport - would probably still be queuing now.

Oscar enjoyed his turkey supper, too.

Rats! I missed this. My own fault, I haven’t been on Gransnet much of late due to life getting in the way

Anyhoo glad it was a good day although I’d have been surprised if it had been anything other than lots of fun.

I’ll keep checking in for the next one

Thanks from me also, elegran! 'Twas a lovely time we had.

Sorry to hear about the York train buggerations, OG. There were train ructions to the west of Glasgow too and mysterious road closures round the head of the loch so MrBaggs had to do a diversion to come and collect me when I finally got to Helensburgh. Hey ho.

Saw DD2 for a wee while after the meet up though so that was nice. She's being a guinea pig for a new medical gadget that she and her colleagues are working on, so had a thing about the size of those small Vaseline tin stuck to her upper arm. They have to test the glue as well, you see.

Thanks from me too Elegran.
Lovely afternoon....despite the weather.
Just hope the lady in the loo, the one with the "we are not amused" face, wasn't a member of staff....or we may well need to look elsewhere for future meet ups
Hope too that everyone got home safely, especially oldgoat?
Here's to the next one in January...to celebrate The Bard.

Wayheyy marsco- you posted!

{Lurkio } Next time I go out must remember to take rubber gloves for emergencies ,it was hilarious lots of laughing. Thanks to Elegran for organising the day and to everyone who managed to be there , great company .

The plumbing incident wasn't as dramatic as Oldgoat makes out. As I left the cubicle the toilet roll fell into the (just flushed so fairly clean) pan Lurkio was next in, didn't want to fish it out with bare hands, so ignored it. When she flushed, it partly blocked the pan and the water started to rise alarmingly, so she had to plunge in her hand to remove it. The water level fell again and disaster was averted.

Lovely photos gals! You look
really festive.

I would have been with you had I not had a huge lunch yesterday for the in law's wedding anniversary and today DD, DGD and I went to see Frozen 2 it was not bad and I drove home in heavy rain in the dark.

What plumbing incident?

Sorry about your train oldgoat
Hope you all have a great Christmas and look forward to see you in January.

Oldgoat, if only I'd thought to slip you that big chunk of turkey that I couldn't quite manage ? (makes a change, though, because you've usually got a big bag of kippers in your handbag)!
A really lovely afternoon, with lots of laughs and great company.
Thanks so much, Elegran , for sorting us out again!

Yikes! I left too early. What plumbing incident?
What a nuisance about your train Oldgoat.

Thanks for organising another lovely meet-up Elegran. Hope we will be allowed back at the Cranston after the unfortunate plumbing incident...

My train is terminating at Newcastle because of problems north of York so we have to travel on a replacement bus. Luckily I have that chunk of meat in my bag if I get peckish.

Well we came, we saw, we ate and a good time was had by all. Thanks Elegran!
(I cunningly took the photos so I didn't need to be in them)

Looking forward to seeing you all again today xx

Hope you all have a good time tomorrow and enjoy your Christmas lunch and chat. Sorry I can’t make it but I hope to see you all soon. Remember a nice photo please.

There should be 2 Rs in tomorrow.

Alastair Sim - "There's always trouble when there's arson about." Not in the kitchen at the Cranston, I hope.

Once we get tomorow's turkey dinner under our belts . . .

Thank you Elegran.
Are we thinking a Burns meet in January then?That would be great.
We are hoping to have a Glasgow Grannies meet in the New Year too with some new faces.That will be fun , nice to make new friends?

That's a shame, Jangran We'll see you next time, I hope - which will probably be in January.

Damned chest infection means I’ll miss the meet, but I can’t be coughing all over you!?
Have a lovely lunch with great food, company and great craic?
Happy and peaceful Christmas to all.

Have a great meet up, I will miss seeing everyone!!!

Heavens, it's tomorrow!

See you all tomorrow. ?

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Sorry to miss the regulars who couldn't make it!
