I know this is short notice but I wondered how the grannies who make it to the Glesga meets feel about a get together Tuesday 14th March? Usual place, Concert Hall cafe at 1.00.

I've just found out I'm going to be in town that week and thought I'd suggest a meet as we haven't had one for a while. Here's hoping the good weather holds till then. Be good to see you all again if we can make it.

Grammaretto, it was Old Goat, who came from York. We used to go to TKMaxx for a rummage, before catching the train home.
It was an expensive day out! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I often wonder how Old Goat is doing.

I travelled from Essex to 2 Edinburgh meetups back in the day!

Iโ€™m still hoping to be there, if I can Iโ€™ll be the one with the red suitcase!

I remember meeting you there Pitt and being hugely impressed by your dedication!

I do get a few free train trips a year through DH's old job and I did stay overnight, Baubles. I remember that Cari from GNHQ flew up and back from London.

And here's me wondering if I may have to call off due to the snow!

Have a great day, ladies!

Thanks Marydoll. Itโ€™s snow shoes on today but at least the sun is shining for us.

TopsyIrene06 Tue 14-Mar-23 07:26:07

I'm just sending my apologies in case I can't make it due to a problem with the car and I am not sure whether it's OK to drive. Warning light won't go off. A long walk to pick up public transport but fingers crossed.
Best wishes to you all.

bridie54 Tue 14-Mar-23 07:31:47

Fingers crossed TopsyIrene06, hopefully weโ€™ll see you later.
Marydoll you concentrate on feeling better and think of a summer meet without our wellies smile

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 08:20:59

I'm up for that, Bridie!

Topsy, I hope you make it! x

Grannmarie Tue 14-Mar-23 11:26:02

I'm on the train ๐Ÿš‰!! Looking forward to seeing lots of Glesga Grans, I missed the summer meet up when DH was ill.
Best wishes to all who can't make it today, hopefully we'll meet up in the summer.

I'm on the bus. There's a blizzard . I may have to camp out in Glasgow. See you soon eventually
It's worse since I took that photo.

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 11:43:38

Hi Granmarie!.

Grammaretto, it's due to go off at noon!

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 11:43:58

Or so mu pal Alexa tells me!

Grammaretto Tue 14-Mar-23 11:45:40

Thanks Marydoll the traffic has stood still.
It's a winter wonderland.

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 12:13:26

Hopefully, it will clear. The M8 is always bad in the snow.

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 15:42:14

It was lovely to see and speak to you all today............ even if not in person. Isn't technology wonderful?
Safe journey home all.
Thank goodness the snow has stopped!

Grammaretto Tue 14-Mar-23 15:49:57

It was good to speak to you .Marydoll

The sun is shining now .

Marydoll Tue 14-Mar-23 16:34:35
