Coffee and cake meetup

If the cap fits Elegran I'm afraid I will just have to wear it. Had a lovely day in Edinburgh my legs are at least 2 inches shorter thanks to Marelli and her walking tour of Edinburgh. My waistline 2 inches larger than when I first set off from home. Very nearly had a vino except thought tea was better combination to go with cake "he who hesitates Bags "Great crack thanks to you all and I can't wait until the next meet up. X

Agreed, baubles – just lovely to meet someone new and old friends! It was a really nice afternoon. Picnic next time, weather permitting?

at some people & it wasn't me!

I had a lovely afternoon, thanks for organising it Elegran.

Grannygreyhips it was lovely to meet you and equally lovely to see all the others again.

Back home with feet up, and not needing any tea tonight. How some people could eat what they did at lunchtime and then turn up for afternoon tea is beyond me.

It was lovely to see everyone, and meet one new person. I hope those who took photos will post them. I am still working out how to use my new phone so was not taking any.

Looking forward to the next time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this afternoon

Hi juneh One of these days we will meet you. Thanks for the good wishes.

Good luck with your own page.

Sorry I cannot come to your meet up but thought I would drop by and say hello from Conwy. You have a great forum'
If you want to say hello a glass or a cuppa and even a cake or two is waiting for you.
warm wishes June

That's a shame, Marelli. I hope we meet her at the next one.

Just had phone call from Anne09, Elegran. She's not at all well, and won't be able to come tomorrow, but she sends best wishes to everyone.

Sorry you can't come Em but there will be another . . .and another . . .

I thought I might manage to make it to Edinburgh but unfortunately it's one more event I have to miss. I hope you have a lovely afternoon and I look forward to hearing the gossip later.

That makes 11 then, Marelli. (Yes, my split personaity has been re-united)

I think Anne09 will be coming with Newleaseoflife and me, Waverley. I'll check with her and ask her to let you know. She might not have looked at this site as yet.

Oh! so sorry you won't be there, G23 We will raise a cup to you (they do have stronger drink, BTW, I am sure some people will raise a glass)

Absolutely OK Bags That will show her what kind of people her mother has been associating with!

That's a shame, 23, but never mind, there will be others. Lovely to anticipate meeting new people

Waverley, not sure what DD2 is doing that day, but is it allright if I tell her she can drop in on us?

Oh No! Came on to add my name to the list and just realised that it is same day as our fundraising plant sale . Guess I'll be having my coffee and cake in Alva.

Current numbers with less than a fortnight to go -

Me
Marelli
Baubles
Bags
Newleaseoflife
Grannygreyhips
Scotsgran
Grandmanorm
GrannyE
Mistchsc19

Total 10 - plus one possible non-member.

If you are on this list and can't make it, or not on the list but would like to come, try to let me know so that I can tell them to set more/fewer places. If you will be in Princes St that day but are not joining us, we would still love it if you dropped by and said hello.

Looking forward to coffee, cakes and possibly meeting new people on the 11th

A very warm welcome to Gransnet Mitch19.

Welcome to Gransnet, Mitchsc19 I think you will enjoy it. Will you be joining us on May 11th?

Hi,i am new to this very interesting way of taking coffee and cake.Stirling is my home town,but my interest in history takes me all over Scotland.Just turned 50 so i am looking for a more paced style,hope to meet lots of friendly new people,... Mitch

Waverley a bit like myself perhaps

I've a friend who attends St Cuthbert's - the whole family does, in fact. I tried to recruit her for GN, but she says she has no time - husband with MS and she's busy with family things. Mind you, she can talk the hind leg off a donkey so she must be able to make time for that!

Sorry I seem to have got folks confused about the church I was speaking about.My friend is the minister of St Cuthberts and not the other one on the corner which has the coffee shop and crypt.

Those who know me recognise that I deviate from time to time away from the main theme etc. I must have the mind of a 2 year old who needs a change of play activity every few minutes. My family must have a terrible time trying to keep up with my train of thought.
I am so looking forward to meeting up again after the fabulous Burns lunch.
