Time for a Christmas meet up my friends. I was thinking about the week beginning 4th December in our usual venue, the Concert Hall..
Hoping to see the usual suspects and perhaps some new members. We are a friendly bunch and would love to see some new faces.

Just say the days you are free and then we can try to find a suitable date.

I am tempted to arrange a romantic break with DH in Glasgow which coincides with the next Glesca Grannies meet up.

I am sure he wouldn’t miss me for an hour or four πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

I'm so looking forward to it, looking for ways to avoid climbing the hill at Buchanan Street.
I am going to factor in a trip to JL. Its so long since I have had a wander.

Would the bus that runs between Glasgow Central, Queen street station and Buchanan Bus Station help with the hill? The stop at the bus station is just outside the concert hall in Killermont st.

That is one of my options. I usually get the train, but the hill just about defeated me the last few times and I was toying with getting the bus all the way to the bus station.
My DH could drop me at the bus stop, the only downside is it takes ages, when the train journey is only 15 minutes.
Or..... I could drive to Cessnock and get the Subway. However, I did that the last time and my car broke down! 🀣
Oh choices, choices, choices!

Hello πŸ‘‹ Glesca Grans, I may be at the coo's tail next week, apologies in advance.
I drive my lovely friend to our Church Coffee Morning on Wednesdays, she's relied on me for this since her amputation last winter. Next week is the Christmas Coffee Morning so it's a bit of an event, she's looking forward to it.
As soon as I get her settled back at home, I'll be on my way, just might not manage it for 1pm.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

That is very kind of you, Granmarie. Hopefully you will make it. unless like me, you get caught up talking to parishioners. πŸ˜‰

Many thanks

Granny23, we always try to sit at the very end of the cafe where we try not to annoy people. 🀣

Just look out for a crowd of noisy women!

Grannmarie Fri 01-Dec-23 20:05:19

Please keep me a seat! πŸ₯°

It would be lovely to meet you. Did you come a previous time, before Covid?

Don't you go overdoing it before then Marydoll. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. I missed the last get together because of childcare.

Baggs Sun 03-Dec-23 09:37:36

Getting my name badge ready.... smile

Marydoll Sun 03-Dec-23 14:16:39

Now Baggs, would that be your username, real name or to really push the boat out, both?
Just to clarify, is it a sticky label, a pin badge or a piece of card on string round your neck?
I won't need a badge. Find the wee, round wifie making the most noise, that's me.🀣

seadragon Sun 03-Dec-23 15:03:59

I'd have loved to have come too...if I hadn't moved from Rosneath to Orkney in 2005! Have a great time, all of you!

Baggs Sun 03-Dec-23 15:18:02

Decisions, decisions, Mdoll!! Probably both names and it'll be a wee card in a cellophane holder thingy that you can clip on. Nowt but the best for me 😁

Is that because after all these years I call you the wrong name? 🀣

Baggs Sun 03-Dec-23 16:19:08

Do you? If I've ever noticed I've also forgotten πŸ˜€

Marydoll Sun 03-Dec-23 16:28:49

Perhaps not to your face Jeannie! πŸ˜‰
