Burns lunch in Edinburgh 25th Jan. Who's interested?

Jane10 not at all!! of course I've been before and had great conversations with you and others. It was a previous time at another place in Dundas st? where the group was right at the back and I was being asked by reception who I was meeting.....and since it was my first meet up it was a bit awkward but if the newcomers are ok with this, fine by me.
I'll be wearing my tammy and filibeg

I’m hoping if I go to the bar there will only be one big group of ladies .. don’t want to offend anyone else by asking if they are the grannies ?

Oh Weeanni, just follow the noise!

Weeanni, I love your name, that's what everyone called my mother.

weenanni59 it'll be fine I'm sure but that's what I meant when I stumbled over my words at the door. They were and are all female so that's a good start.

?

Grammaretto Just get yourself a drink at the bar and you’ll fit in perfectly. Have a lovely time everyone sorry I can’t be with you.

I'm aiming to be there at 12.30ish for a drink (and to bag some seats for us.)
I'll look out for likely Grans.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Just back. Gosh that hotel is good. Nice old fashioned service with linen table cloths and patient staff. The food is obviously cooked to order. Cockieleekie soup was at least 6 of our 5 a day veg and haggis neeps and tatties delicious.
Chat galore and Marydoll's home made tablet and OldGoat's mints too. Can't ask more. Pics to follow from Marydoll (I think!)

It was lovely to meet you all .. you made me feel so welcome!
Wish I could make the Glasgow meet .
The hotel was great , I will definitely go there again ?

It was really nice. Thanks to Jane10 for organising.
Well done to new girl Lindylou for her Burns' rendition.
Edinburgh did us proud too, bathed in sunshine.
I managed to get home without fainting. Win win!

Another good lunch meet and it was nice to see new faces. Thanks Jane10 for taking on the organising.
Looking forward to the picture (I think ?).

I wish I had been there!

We wish you had been too Elegran

Enjoyed today’s meet up and so nice to meet new faces. Couldn’t fault lunch at all, hotel goes all out to please. Marydoll your tablet is so yummy. Shame for those who couldn’t manage, hopefully next time. Thanks to Lindyloo for our Burns reading and Marydoll and Old Goat for their kind thought of mints and tablet.

Thank you Jane 10,it was a lovely meet.So nice to see old faces (meant in the nicest way!!) and new.
Hope to see some of us again in Glasgow next month.☕?

Just home after a lovely day out with the Edinburgh Grans. Thanks for organising our lunch jane10 . Excellent food. I'm still full and had a real struggle to eat the chocolate muffins on the train.
Good to meet lindyloo and weenanny and sorry that katek and elegran couldn't join us this time.

What a lovely day I had in Edinburgh, seeing some of the regulars and some new faces as well.
Sorry some of the grans, who are normally there couldn't make it. You were missed.
I have spent ages trying to do something fancy with the group photograph (Photoshop myself three sizes smaller ) and add the names beside each person, but I'm not having much luck.
So for the moment, I will just name names, starting from the bottom left hand corner and working round the table.
Lindey, Cascats, Grammaretto, Weenanni, Marydoll, Brunette, Jane10, Old Goat and Jangran.

Brilliant Marydoll, thank for for the pics, we all look ☺

Thanks Marydoll
OldGoat - muffin s !

Well done Marydoll.

Thanks Marydoll photo not bad at all and we look happy which is the main thing.
I thought I couldn't eat another thing and I've just had supper.

Great photo Marydoll and your tablet is yummy ?

What a lovely lunch today with everyone and thank you all for making me so welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the company. Looking forward to meeting all you lovely ladies again.
