Hi. Please add me to the ever-lengthening list of
'wanna-meet-up' GN'ers in the Glasgow area! Thanks.

A meet up is hopefully possible later and gives us all something to look forward to and plan smile

Shinamae Tue 13-Apr-21 23:07:12

I want to come, I want to come, but I’m in Devon ?? might have to get the helicopter out methinks!!

Marydoll Tue 13-Apr-21 23:36:24

Shinamae, we could have cardboard cut out of you and pretend you are there! ?

Shinamae Tue 13-Apr-21 23:41:33

No,no Marydoll,l shall smuggle myself across the border and turn up unexplained and unannounced ?

What a lovely part of the world you live in. We went on holiday to the Lake District and then drove up to the Borders. I remember stopping by one of the Lochs and searching for the Lochness monster. I was more excited and more gullible than my little ones ?

Shinamae us Scottish grans could have a trip to Devon! I love Devon but haven't been for a long time. We used to visit xh's aunt in Ilfracombe. She stayed right on the harbour. Woolacombe has such a beautiful beach and then there are the moors.

Marydoll Wed 14-Apr-21 14:14:36

Grandmabatty,I lived in Mortehoe which is the little village above Woolacombe, I went to primary school in Woolacombe and secondary school in Ilfracombe!! ?...?

There was a shop which sold wonderful icecream in Mortehoe! We stayed in Mortehoe once (other times in Woolacombe).

We seemed to have wandered down the bye roads a bit, sorry, Glasgow Grans!

Shinamae Wed 14-Apr-21 23:09:59

This is the beach at Mortehoe spent so many happy days down there when I was a child....

Shinamae Wed 14-Apr-21 23:11:20

I’m sure the grans won’t mind Callistemon...?..

Grandmabatty Thu 15-Apr-21 09:34:25

Shinamae a beautiful part of the country. When I was much younger, we went on holiday regularly to Ilfracombe. It was at least twelve hours by car in those days but that added to the holiday.

Roses Thu 15-Apr-21 09:46:34

I would love to come but it's a bit far for a day out!

Shinamae Thu 15-Apr-21 09:50:27

Seriously though, coming to Scotland is on my bucket list but as I don’t drive I think it would be terribly expensive by train. I am going to look into it in the near future. I know I could fly from Exeter but I don’t really fancy that, I am not a great one for flying..?‍♀️

I wonder if we have! We dont have Gransnet badges so we would never know

Grammaretto Tue 20-Apr-21 17:08:51

I can't believe so much awful has happened since I came and met you all at the concert hall
I am very glad I did!

Marydoll Tue 20-Apr-21 18:36:04

It really was a pretty enjoyable afternoon, Grammaretto! I can't wait to organise the next one. ?

Lomo123 Tue 20-Apr-21 19:08:29

Marydoll, would be great to meet up now we, re getting closer to being allowed out.
Jansgran, just noticed thread today thanks.

Hi shinamae. When travel was much easier you could get some great bargains for train travel if you looked carefully. Sometimes it was even cheaper to travel first class than standard. Hopefully thing will go back to normal and we’ll see you in Scotland sometime.

Marydoll Tue 20-Apr-21 20:33:54

Lomo, on the list. ?

This thread is meandering along, quite well!
