Thank you Monica. My bus came within five minutes so I didn't get as wet as you. smile

Aldom Thank you for organising yesterday it was so nice to see Greenfinch again and to meet Braun

I hope you all were able to get your bus without getting too wet waiting at the bus stop. Having come coatless, I got slightly damp walking back to the car park but soon dried out.

Aldom Wed 14-Aug-24 18:38:32

Braun I have sent you a private message as promised.

Aldom Wed 14-Aug-24 18:34:43

Good evening Greenfinch, Monica and Braun. What a lovely meet up. So pleased we all managed to get to Wallingford on a wet Tuesday morning. What a coincidence that Braun used to work with a member of my family. smile
Hope to see you all again soon.

Thanks for arranging the meet up Aldom. It was good to have a nice long chat. I hope you didn’t have to wait too long for a bus. I am on mine now. Rattling along down the country lanes.

Aldom Tue 13-Aug-24 14:00:25

Sorry we won't see you Cornflower.
Next time in Oxford x

Cornflower Tue 13-Aug-24 13:39:04

Hello Aldom, I am sorry but I will not after all be able to attend the Gransnet meet up tomorrow in Wallingford. I hope to make it to the next local meeting. Apologies for any inconvenience caused! I hope you all have a nice get together.

Greenfinch Tue 13-Aug-24 12:05:46

The garden arbour sounds great. See you all there about 11am providing my bus from Reading gets there on time.😊

Aldom Tue 13-Aug-24 11:39:31

Looking forward to seeing you at Mollie's Cafe tomorrow. The cafe owner has reserved the arbour at the bottom of the garden for us.

Aldom Sat 10-Aug-24 15:08:05

I mentioned the map more for Braun and Thoro (if she joins us).
The reason I wasn't getting through on the phone was because the proprietor is on holiday. I was able to WhatsApp her and received a lovely message from her immediately. I'm really looking forward to coffee /lunch at Mollie's.

Greenfinch Fri 09-Aug-24 12:26:04

Thanks Aldom. I don’t think even I could get lost in Wallingford but you never know.🤣

Aldom Fri 09-Aug-24 12:12:29

Mollie's is near Waitrose. Google maps shows the location clearly. It's new to me too. smile

Aldom Fri 09-Aug-24 12:07:50

Greenfinch look out for Chancellors Estate Agents Mollie's is in there. smile

Greenfinch Fri 09-Aug-24 11:53:41

Well done Aldom. I am looking forward to it and hope my two buses don’t let me down. I don’t know where Mollie’s is but it shouldn’t be too difficult to find from the bus stop in the Square.

Aldom Fri 09-Aug-24 11:03:31

Greenfinch, Monica, Cornflower, Braun update. I have now been able to book a table for five at Mollie's. The reviews are excellent btw. smile

Aldom Fri 09-Aug-24 10:41:27

Just bumping this up for the relevant ladies to read. smile

Aldom Thu 08-Aug-24 12:42:14

Hello Greenfinch and Braun. I am looking forward to seeing you both, also Monica, Cornflower and possibly Thoro on Wednesday, 14th August at 11am. At the moment the venue is Mollie's Healthy Eating Cafe, 5A St Martin's street (apparently inside *Chancellors Estate Agents*) So far I have not been able to book a table, but I will keep trying. We can always go to Waitrose cafe if need be, as it's close by. But as things stand atm we meet at Mollie's initially.
More about Oxford meet ups on the day. See you soon.

Braun2019 Thu 08-Aug-24 11:56:02

Thank you Greenfinch

Greenfinch Thu 08-Aug-24 11:28:27

They do Braun but I don’t believe they have met for some time. Aldom will be able to tell you more . Meanwhile I look forward to meeting you in Wallingford.

Braun2019 Thu 08-Aug-24 10:03:03

Good morning Aldom and thank you for organising this meet up.

I live in Oxfordshire and hope to be able to join you in Wallingford on the 14th August.

Do GN friends also meet in Oxford?

Aldom Thu 25-Jul-24 22:53:23

hi Thoro hope to hear from you soon regarding joining us on the 14th August. smile

Aldom Wed 24-Jul-24 13:59:14

Hello Cornflower so pleased you are able to join us. Looking forward to seeing you again. smile

Cornflower Wed 24-Jul-24 10:51:56

Hi Aldom,

I have just seen the thread and will be joining you on the 14th in Wallingford. Thank you for organising this! I look forward to seeing you all.

Aldom Tue 23-Jul-24 22:49:31

Hello Thoro are you able to come to Wallingford on the 14th August?
Please let me know so I can book a table. smile

Aldom Mon 22-Jul-24 20:36:05

Thoro at the moment there are three of us for the Wallingford meet up. Four if you decide to come too.
I usually wait by the door of the cafe until everyone has arrived. We're very friendly, so please don't be nervous. It's the first time I've met GN friends in Wallingford. We usually meet in Oxford.
Private message me if you want to chat about coming. I'll book a table at the cafe soon.
