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?

Happy 50th anniversary Elizabeth1
Hope you enjoy your stay at St Andrews and that the weather will stay fine for you.
The waves were crashing against the rocks beneath the castle yesterday. Wish I'd had more time to look around. It's a lovely town.
Hope to see you at the next meet-up.

Its usually posted on the forum. Look out for it. It'll be worth your while. There are often meet ups in Edinburgh.

DM, NOT DO!

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

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!

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

Oh dear! Try again!

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

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

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

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

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.

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)!

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

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.

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.

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

Ignore me ...... !

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 17:45:15

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

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

Bag the nicest table Grammaretto!

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.

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

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

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,

Brunette10 Tue 25-Feb-20 08:00:29

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.
