We could get a date set for a Burns lunch, and a list started by the New Year. Are there any dates that are NOT possible for those who would like to come?

Dugs were lovely. I had thought of gransknit but then again, maybe not.

baubles Tue 21-Jan-20 16:05:40

She wasn’t actually there Jane however she was admired, as were other dogs and indeed children. smile

Jane10 Tue 21-Jan-20 15:29:56

Gosh was the dog there too? Surely there should be a 'Dogsnet'!

baubles Tue 21-Jan-20 15:00:50

And the dug!

Okaydoke here’s the pic.

Great get together. Thanks again to Elegran for organising and yes, baubles, fine with photo....especially if you post one of your gorgeous puppy too smile
Good that everyone made it home safely. I ended up squeezing in a visit to Turner in January....so there were two old biddies of a certain age making last minute dashes to catch our trains...

Marelli Tue 21-Jan-20 11:00:11

Ina says photo OK with her, too.

cascats Tue 21-Jan-20 10:25:29

No problem with photo from me.

Marelli Tue 21-Jan-20 07:38:03

For fish and chips ???! Sounds good to me, Grammaretto!

Grammaretto Tue 21-Jan-20 07:32:03

Sorry to hear that Marelli. Poor Lurkio. I hope the hospital was worth the wait. See you next time in Fife I believe. smile

Marelli Tue 21-Jan-20 05:18:34

Lurkio's hospital appointment ran on, then she got stuck at roadworks on way back, so she was sorry to have missed you all. Hopefully, will be able to come to next meetup. ?

In the photo there’s me, Elegran, Cascats, GeminiJen, Grammaretto and Oldgoat.

Grammaretto Mon 20-Jan-20 21:47:31

Thanks Elegran for organising us. It was really lovely to see you all again although we could have blethered for a lot longer. I think there may have been one photo which wasn't too bad of any of us - I would leave it to your discretion baubles grin were there 8 of us?

Elegran Mon 20-Jan-20 20:34:52

You can post it IF you weed out the ones where I look like a half-witted old woman, Baubles If I don't smile I look grumpy, and if I do I look manic. I can't win.

baubles Mon 20-Jan-20 20:28:15

Great craic today. Thanks everyone, especially Elegran for organising another smashing day.

We forgot to get a photo until we were one down however I didn’t confirm that everyone is ok for me to post it so could you all let me know please.

Marelli Mon 20-Jan-20 17:39:33

Wish I could've been with you all. Here's to the next one. ?

Marydoll Mon 20-Jan-20 16:22:10

Safe journey, Old Goat! Missed catching up with you! sad

oldgoat Mon 20-Jan-20 16:19:46

Caught my train by the skin of my teeth! I never want to leave these meetups when there's still so much talking to be done.

Thanks for organising the meal Elegran. Looking forward to the 'Fish and chips' meet up now.

weenanni59 Mon 20-Jan-20 15:53:28

Hope you all had a great time today ladies ?

Brunette10 Mon 20-Jan-20 08:34:07

Hope you all have a good time today in Edin catching up. I have a filling to get at the Dentist at 2.00 p.m. sad. Sure you will have lots to chat about - have fun!

Elegran Sun 19-Jan-20 20:21:00

See you all tomorrow, then, So sorry about those who can't make it, you will all be missed. We will raise our glasses to you (or maybe our coffee cups)

After this, it seems the next meet-up will be for fish and chips in St Andrews, unless it would be better to stick to less exposed locations until the weather is a bit more like spring? In that case, it could be fish and chips somewhere else? There will be a new thread about it next week.

Jane10 Sun 19-Jan-20 20:07:17

I'm so sorry I can't be there! Have a great time everyone. ???

cascats Sun 19-Jan-20 18:30:53

My mum will be so chuffed when I take all this down to her, its her knitting and crocheting for her charities which keeps her sane (her words, not mine I add!). Thank you both.

Marydoll Sun 19-Jan-20 18:26:25

I hope you all have an enjoyable lunch tomorrow. I'm so disappointed I can't come!☹️

Marelli Sun 19-Jan-20 18:00:07

Cascats now has her wool, Elegran. ☺️
