Hi from the Highlands

How far north, Dotsmam? Welcome, by the way!

NE Aberdeenshire Dot.

Outer Hebrides

Fife!

From Caithness. ( I live close to a wee village about 30 miles from John O' Groats). New to Gransnet as a new first time granny. ��

Welcome Dotsmam.Congratulations on being a first time granny.
I live in the South but would be interested to hear about your new grandchild.

Ailsa is the most beautiful wee woman (although I am very biased) she weighed in at 8lb 4oz and is 11 weeks old now. Her mam and dad have got it very lucky as she is sleeping 10 hours at night. I have been lucky too as I have kept her over night twice already to let my daughter and her partner go to weddings.

Newist are you on Lewis and Harris?

Welcome to the world of grandparents....it's wonderful! We have just had a new little grandson four weeks ago, fourth boy!! We also have family connections to Wick and Thurso.

Hello Dotsmam, I'm in Moray, not quite as far north as you.

Congratulations on your new Granddaughter!

Hi Dot its lovely to hear about Ailsa I am in North Uist

Hello Dot, I am from Inverness. Been on GN forever but haven't been posting much lately owing to broken arm, but have been lurking. Beautiful day up here today.

Forgot to congratulate you on your new GD. Happy days

Sounds like you are really enjoying your new granddaughter. Lovely!

Posie/Thistledoo....have you considered coming to Aberdeen meet up on 23/3? Where about in Moray are you Posie? [or as they say here 'furryboots are ye?!]

Katek I would love to come for a meet up in Aberdeen but sadly 23rd is already booked for a chior event, but later in the year perhaps. It is quite a hike from here but train is reasonably good. Would anyone consider a meet up in moray, say Elgin which I think is halfway?

I'm up your way quite frequently as we have family in Nairn. I'd certainly meet half way....what about Baxters in Fochabers? They do fab pancakes!! No station there though.

Oh the last time I went to Baxters we found it had gone hill a bit. It was about two years ago. If you are going to Nairn it would be great to meet up there Katek they have some great cafés. Let me know next time you are through and we could organise a meet up.

I've only just seen your posts Katek & Thistledoo, but I'm close to Fochabers, & would be up for a meet up.

Looks as if we will all be able to meet up over next couple of months! Very exciting! I'll let you both know when I'm going up and we can arrange a venue/time. Isn't Gnet great for bringing people together? So glad I joined.

Dotsmam....are you ever down in Inverness?

I would not be surprises if Baxters have closed I think the coffee place is already closed.

Baxters was still open last month. We had a good lunch with the family when they were up.

Ooh, that sounds interesting Katek Baxters is still open Eleanore. I was in there just a couple of weeks ago with family. I had pancakes with apple & cinnamon & ice cream!
