Time we had some more fish and chips at the Tailend. I am biased toward the end of the month, say 24th, 25th, 26th. Definitely not the 17th.

Any more "definitely not" days?

25th is a Tuesday. That sounds quite good for me at the moment.
Looking forward to it already.

It's Shrove Tuesday. Pancakes with our fish and chips?

Marelli Fri 07-Feb-20 13:19:51

Lurkio can't come, unfortunately.

Fish, chips and pancakes on the 25th then. I've booked my train seat already.

Marelli Fri 07-Feb-20 14:35:38

Looking forward to seeing you all again. ?
Elegran, should we book a table do you think, and is it necessary to ask for gluten-free fish and chips? I can't remember what we did the last time.

Elegran Fri 07-Feb-20 16:38:31

So, a table for seven on Tuesday 25th at 1 pm.

Marelli Fri 07-Feb-20 17:52:48

Thanks, Elegran.

Thanks Elegran, see you there.
Did post a couple of days ago, in response to dates but post seems to have disappeared? Just so you know was not ignoring you Elegran. smile

Marelli Mon 10-Feb-20 07:28:15

Cascats, can we give you a lift there?

Elegran Mon 10-Feb-20 09:46:23

This might be of interest to people meeting up in or near Edinburgh. Princes Street hotel with Edinburgh Castle views offering £5 overnight stays though I have noticed that some of Edinburgh Live's reporting is a bit wide of the truth.

cascats Mon 10-Feb-20 15:54:06

Hi Marelli, thank you, thats a lovely offer. Will pm you nearer the time.

Katek Mon 10-Feb-20 20:01:00

Got my wellies looked out just in case.....!!

Marelli Mon 10-Feb-20 21:26:23

OK, Cascats. ?
Katek, it'll be lovely to see you again. I think the last time was at Dundee?

Katek Tue 11-Feb-20 10:19:08

Think you’re right Marelli-2019 was a very busy year! Looking forward to seeing you allsmile

Can’t manage this as it’s just too far away but I hope you all have a great day.

Grammaretto Sun 23-Feb-20 22:05:57

Have you heard about the snow forecast Baubles?
That is supposed to be tomorrow so by Tuesday it will be gone.

Elegran Mon 24-Feb-20 08:31:21

It'll have all turned to slush and the place will be underwater again.

Marydoll Mon 24-Feb-20 08:49:28

I'm so envious of you all. Have a lovely day tomorrow.
Anyway, there are worse places in the world to be stranded! grin
It's warmer in St Andrew's today than it is here in Glasgow. ?

Elizabeth1 Mon 24-Feb-20 08:58:22

I wish I could meet up at the tail end Elegran *but I don’t think it’s wheelchair friendly too many stairs etc it’s a lovely place though hope you all have a fab time *marelli is looking for a nice wheelchair accessible restaurant in St. Andrews which can be suitable and my dear husband can drive me there here’s hoping...... I’m dying to meet up with you all before much longer

Marelli Mon 24-Feb-20 09:18:22

Elizabeth1, I've checked with The Doll's House in the square at the back of Holy Trinity Church. They are most definitely wheelchair accessible. We can maybe get something organised for the Spring?

Elegran Mon 24-Feb-20 09:23:32

Next St Andrews meetup we'll go there, Eliz1 ! Maybe the Fifers nearest there could check it out in person before then? Nice to hear that you are feeling fit enough to join us.

Elizabeth1 Mon 24-Feb-20 10:38:41

Thank you [ marelli]the Dolls house is quite cosy and the foods been good I’ve been there a couple of time here’s to springtime smile

GeminiJen Mon 24-Feb-20 13:45:44

Elizabeth1 Really good to see your post. You've been missed. Hope to catch up 'live' before too long smile

Grammaretto Mon 24-Feb-20 14:19:14

Lovely to see your post Eliz1 . A shame you cannot come tomorrow but next time. smile

Elizabeth1 Mon 24-Feb-20 15:17:27
