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?

Elizabeth1 Mon 24-Feb-20 21:23:32

Have a great day tomorrow sorry I’ll not manage this time Dolls House here I come . Thank you Marelli for thinking of this restaurant I’ll wait for the date to come up. smile

Good to see you posting again Elizabeth1 - hopefully not too long before we have another meet up.

Think I jinxed the weather by mentioning wellies.......chucking it down here! Will need duck feet soon, never mind welly boots ??☔️☔️

I'm on my way. See you all at the Tailend. Waterproofs at the ready.

Safe journey Old Goat

Hope everyone has a safe journey today to St.Andrews. At least the weather has abated a bit. Enjoy lunch but most of all your chin wag smile.

Elegran Tue 25-Feb-20 08:25:51

See you all there. My bus doesn't get in until nearly one, so I'll be a bit later arriving. Bus station closed at the moment due to storm damage, but I can catch that bus at the West End, instead of rushing all round St Andrews Square to the temporary terminus for the earlier one,

Katek Tue 25-Feb-20 08:49:15

Leaving around 10.30......see you all theresmile

Grammaretto Tue 25-Feb-20 12:44:27

I have arrived. Are we a table for 6 or 7? Another party with the same name has booked for 1 o'clock.
It's SUNNY !! Thanks Elegran.

Jane10 Tue 25-Feb-20 12:46:59

Bag the nicest table Grammaretto!

Katek Tue 25-Feb-20 17:45:15

That’s me just arrived home after another lovely lunch and lots of catching up! I’ve had a very nice day indeed

Katek Tue 25-Feb-20 17:48:59

That’s me just home after a lovely catchup and a very tasty lunch at the Tailend! Hope everyone else is safely home - OldGoat will still be on the train, hope they’ve supplied you with tea and biccies! Thanks for arranging Elegran grin

Katek Tue 25-Feb-20 17:49:36

Ignore me ...... !

Elegran Tue 25-Feb-20 17:54:32

And this is me just home! Another meet-up bites the dust! You beat me by a few minutes, Katek.

Thank you all for a good lunch and a good blether.

Grammaretto Tue 25-Feb-20 19:02:21

I'm home now too. I had a lovely day. Lots of chat, tasty food and scenic bus rides in sunshine with snow on the hills. Thanks for arranging it and see you all again soon.

oldgoat Tue 25-Feb-20 21:37:22

I'm home too . Had a lovely day and really struggled to eat the free biscuits and crisps on the train after my extra large modest portion of fish and chips.
Got so carried away sight-seeing in St. Andrews that I nearly missed my train.
Lovely to see you all again. Roll on the next meet-up . Thanks for organising it Elegran

Marelli Tue 25-Feb-20 23:29:51

I was home first and have been the last to post ?! It was a lovely meetup with about 3 conversations going on at once - not bad for 7 of us! As always, a delicious lunch and lovely weather, too. Thanks for arranging it for us, Elegran (again)!

cascats Wed 26-Feb-20 08:18:01

Can I add my thanks to Elegran too please. Lovely meetup, great to see everyone and the weather was kind. Here's to the next one and hopefully Elizabeth1 and those that could not make it this time being able to come.

oldgoat Wed 26-Feb-20 09:31:48

I told my OH that three of the Grans at the St. Andrews meetup were spinners. He said "What, at the gym?!!"

Grammaretto Wed 26-Feb-20 09:43:59

rolags was the word I couldn't think of. You could try that on DH.

Elizabeth1 Wed 26-Feb-20 10:03:41

Good morning all the sun is shining and I’m feeling good thankfully be cause I’ve been so very tired the last couple of days probably because I’m getting excited and looking forward to our 50th wedding anniversary celebrations which is to be held at home and in church. Afterwards we’re spoiling ourselves by going to a really nice hotel in St. Andrews for a couple of nights and why ? Because we’re worth it. smile

oldgoat Wed 26-Feb-20 10:03:42

Here we are, enjoying our fish and chips at the Tailend. Not a great photo but a great meet-up, as always

oldgoat Wed 26-Feb-20 10:04:43

Oh dear! Try again!

Jane10 Wed 26-Feb-20 10:50:59

Its OK OldGoat it posted the first time. Looks like it was a very happy and relaxed event. You're all looking good.
Thats the exact table DH and I sat at on our last visit to St Andrews. The food is great!

NannaBanana Wed 26-Feb-20 10:56:44

Oh no! I’ve just seen this thread and I would have loved to join the meet-up! Could someone please do me if/when you organise another one? @oldgoat, @elegran, @cascats
