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.

It was a really lovely day - thank you Marydoll for organising it!

Home at last. Thank goodness I no longer have to travel in rush hour.
Too many bags, a stick and crammed like a sardine on a train with only two carriages for 10 stops!! I was way out my comfort zone, worrying I would be trapped on the train to the end of the line! 🤣
However, it was all worth it!

Lovely day! Smashing to meet everyone, some for the first time. 🥰

Thanks for organising us, Mdoll.

Thank goodness for your young man driver, Granny23 😉

Thank you Marydoll for organising the Glasgow Grans meet up. What a great afternoon, so many lovely ladies and lots of good blethers. So nice to see familat faces, and one or two new ones. A special thank you to the ladies who travelled long distances to be there, well done and safe journeys home.

I'm not long home cos when I picked up my car from the station I decided to go home via Lidl, as you do when you hear, through GN, that the contents of the middle aisles are all half price! I resisted the sewing machine but stocked up on gift wrap.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and all the very best for 2024.

Just in the door. It was great to meet such a lovely lot and put faces to some weel-kent names. Thanks to Marydoll for organising it and to you all for making me feel welcome. 💐

Thank you so much for organising MaryDoll ! Lovely to meet everyone.I’m just home as I went to visit my sons dog on the way home ( he’s poorly… the dog that is :-) )

Marydoll Wed 06-Dec-23 20:18:27

Great photos, thanks for posting.
Glad you managed to squeeze on the bus and make it safely home.
Roll on our spring meet up!

I posted photos, courtesy of Grammaretto and the post has vanished. 🤔

Usually a night 🦉, I've been in my jammies since 7pm and I'm off to bed!

Grandmabatty Wed 06-Dec-23 20:32:36

Photos are great!

Grammaretto Wed 06-Dec-23 20:37:15

I'm just in my bed.

I think wheniwasyourage had left before the photos she escaped! so doesn't appear in any. It was an excellent turn out though we missed Kalu and some others. Maybe next time.

Thanks Granmarie, [Mr.D] still having pre op assessments and I’m on standby with him.

Back home on very busy train and bus. I did spend, ahem, a little while in the Buchanan Galleries. I may have bought a few Christmas bits and pieces 🙂

Thank you to Marydoll and the other Glesca Grans for a lovely meet-up.

Thank you all for your company today, what a smashing group of women.

Such a lovely afternoon.

Blossoming Wed 06-Dec-23 22:12:19

I am somewhat envious, so glad you all had a great time .

baubles Wed 06-Dec-23 22:15:59

BTW I don’t suppose anyone noticed a pair of grey leather gloves skulking about looking lost? They appear to have jumped out of my bag somewhere along the way.

dragonfly46 Wed 06-Dec-23 22:19:37

Great photos - love it if some names were attached!

cornergran Wed 06-Dec-23 22:52:36

Agree, although I’m enjoying playing guess the gran. I’m sure I’ve guessed not a one! Pleased you all had such a good time.

Lovely photos, glad you all had a good time 🎄❤️🎄
