Hello, I am in ayrshire, in scotland
sparkytops Hi1 I'm puzzled! Your mesage seems almost identical to a very recent one from "Flapperlady" also in Ayrshire and asking similar questions! confused

Have you had to change your nickname already?

Hi sparky welcome to Gransnet. I'm not in Scotland but in the West of England, but plan to visit Scotland once the pandemic fades away.

Hi, sparkly. I’m in North Ayrshire, West Kilbride.

Wish I lived in Scotland. Hello and welcome. I live in the NE of England and am also looking forward to a more ‘normal’ life.

Thanks for replying, yes it is a tad chilly, but dry..seems colder in southern england presently..Yes would be lovely to perhaps meet up after covid if anyone is reasonably near for a coffee and chat..

Yes, I often call my homeland scottieland as a term of affection thanks for replying, I am new here. joined a day or two ago..are you irish??

sparkytops Mon 23-Nov-20 12:48:47

Hi thanks for replying I am in south ayrshire, and yes would be great when we get over covid for any of us who are semi near to meet for the odd coffee and chat, still trying to work out how to work this forum exactly too..but thanks for replying, its appreciated

I have a wee black miniature schnauzer which some older people mistake for a Scottie probably because there’s not many of them now.

Jane10 Sun 22-Nov-20 15:26:12

Alas there don't seem to be many Scotties left. They're dogs with such character too. sad

Jane.....that’s adorable?

lemongrove Sun 22-Nov-20 15:23:29

Hello sparkytops is it cold up there at the moment?
Welcome to the forum, there are quite a few Scottish grans so am sure you will meet up when Covid finally vanishes.

Jane10 Sun 22-Nov-20 15:19:39

Are you one of these?

paddyanne Sun 22-Nov-20 15:06:00

SCOTTIELAND?

baubles Sun 22-Nov-20 14:43:29

Lots of us about sparkytops, welcome to gransnet. As Jane says we used to have many meet-ups and will do again I’m sure.

Jane10 Sun 22-Nov-20 14:37:20

Hi. There are lots of us here in Scotland. Until Covid we had many meetings, events and lunches in various locations East, West and North. Hang in there and we'll start to meet up again once all 'this' is over.

Welcome sparkytops. Yes, there are Scottish GNers from all over the country. Some in and around Glasgow, some in and around Edinburgh, some in the North-East (like me) as well as plenty in other places. It would be nice to think that one day you could meet some other members!

sparkytops Sun 22-Nov-20 14:10:39

Hello, I am in ayrshire, in scotland, and see most of the members seem to be in england, are there any members in scotland at all?? I lived in england for 25 years, bromley, dover, and horsham, all lovely places..but am in ayrshire and have been now for a few years...would be nice to know if there are any members semi near, so in better times we could possibly meet for a coffee and blether..but lockdown presently is tricky..stay safe everyone..
