It seems a long time ago since we last met.Is anyone up for meeting for coffee in September or October? We could go to the usual place (Holme Grange) where the coffee machine is rather noisy (!) or to Squires garden centre just up the road from there. Both places have plenty of parking. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
If anyone finds driving difficult we could have another/alternative meeting in Reading.

Why not? Count me in, Greenfinch.

Greenfinch Thu 06-Jun-24 21:58:30

Perhaps we could think about another one in late summer or early autumn.

Deedaa Thu 06-Jun-24 21:15:07

A very enjoyable morning I thought. Makes a change to just sit and talk sometimes. See you all next time!

Greenfinch Thu 06-Jun-24 19:34:56

Thanks for coming everyone. A small but select group !

I enjoyed our meet-up today. Good company and lots of conversation. Thanks, Greenfinch, for making the arrangements. Here's to the next time!

Thanks for organising Greenfinch and glad I could make it. ("Acorn Antiques" service as usual 😊)
Sorry you couldn't make it Pennyjw Best wishes to your DH.

Greenfinch Thu 06-Jun-24 15:33:00

Sorry to hear that Penny. Unfortunately wolwol couldn’t make it either so perhaps we will organise another one quite soon. The four of us who were there had a good morning chatting non stop.

Pennyjw Thu 06-Jun-24 09:12:41

Unfortunately I have to cancel - my husbands health is not so good these days and this morning I am reluctant to leave him on his own. I was looking forward to seeing you all - have a good meet up and I intend to be at the next one!

Greenfinch Thu 06-Jun-24 07:40:46

No problem Deedaa. We look forward to seeing you when you can. I have the same problem the other end and will need to leave about 12:30 to pick up my grandson of the same age.

Deedaa Wed 05-Jun-24 21:58:04

I'm coming, but I will be late. I've got to pick my grandson up after an exam at 10.45 and drop him home on my way in.

Greenfinch Wed 05-Jun-24 09:52:31

I hope you are all still OK for Squires tomorrow at about 10.30. I am looking forward to seeing you all and anyone else who would like to join us.

Pennyjw Thu 30-May-24 18:13:49

I look forward to seeing you all again.

All we need now is for the road to be closed annodomini. It won’t be the first time and so it is as well to think of an alternative route. Honey Hill is usually a good option.

annodomini Tue 28-May-24 11:06:09

I was there yesterday, Greenfinch, so there's no risk of my getting lost this time. I'm sure there will be something I 'need' to purchase while I'm there.

Greenfinch Tue 28-May-24 10:13:41

Just a reminder about our meet up on 6th June at Squires on Heathlands Road.I am looking forward to meeting you all and once again extend a warm welcome to anyone able to join us. If you don’t know where it is please let me know.

Pennyjw Mon 13-May-24 13:43:15

Look forward to seeing you all - and to a report on Welsh castles!

Greenfinch Sat 04-May-24 22:55:17

Good to hear from you Wolwol. Glad you will be able to join us .

Wolwol Sat 04-May-24 18:06:47

Apologies for the delayed reply, a friend and I are visiting Welsh castles shortly, and I was waiting until we'd agreed which week...

I'm free Thursday 6th June, looking forward to seeing you all then😊

Thanks also for the info on the Hive, I think the dog and I with have to check it out soon!

Thank you for arranging smile

Greenfinch Fri 03-May-24 20:48:00

I think that may be a bit hopeful Penny but I take the point ! grin
Let’s say Squires at 10.30ish then.
I will post a reminder nearer the time.
Any further thoughts about wolwol?
Please think about joining us if you are local.

Deedaa Fri 03-May-24 20:01:40

Either suits me.

Pennyjw Fri 03-May-24 19:24:41

Squires is good for me too. Perhaps this time we will get a saucer................!! Look forward to seeing you all.

Greenfinch Fri 03-May-24 12:20:04

annodomini Fri 03-May-24 12:15:39

I'm all for a comfy chair!

Greenfinch Fri 03-May-24 12:02:03

Another vote for the chairs!😀
