Meet up in Leicester

Hi I live in Leicester and would be interested in meeting up if there's another one planned.

As for the boat - there's a couple of lakes in Braunstone Park - lots of ducks , geese etc there so don't know how suitable it would be but might be worth a go. x

Thanks cde58 we will give that a look GS will enjoy feeding the ducks. We are in Narborough for the rest of this week.

Will keep you posted cd. I don't need much of an excuse to go back to Leicester..I'm really taken with the place. We would have gone to Leicester Races tomorrow but we can't leave our poorly dog on her own.

Kitty, if you see this, I have PM'd you.

cde58- welcome to GN. Where abouts are you in Leicester? No need for precise location, just E/N/W/S or combinations. I lived for a very long time E. Hopefully will be arranging another meet when I am next over (live abroad now) late October, in Market Harborough.

Be good to have some idea of dates soon as the diary tends to fill up.

I'm away 9th to 17th October, then might be tied up from 23rd onwards, but not necessarily every day and may not be at all]. Also around for the second half of September. My diary doesn't fill up #nosociallifewhatsoever but you can guarantee if there's a chance to do something exciting something will crop up on that day!

Got the bus into Leicester yesterday - now I remember why I don't like cities - people - traffic - noise - litter - Mrs P spending money !

Leicester is a great shopping area- and all so compact and a huge variety- including a great John Lewis. But why oh why go on a Saturday??? so much better to go week-days when it is much less crowded. How about a trip to the lovely little town of Market Harborough for a change?

I posted Saturday re yesterday, which was Friday . John Lewis, yes that was the high point. but the traffic and people ugh. We have been to MH and along with Melton Mobray they are lovely towns.My brother used to live in Husbands Bosworth back in the 50's, I used to cycle to MH to get maggots from the glue factory for fishing, bet that's gone now. Mrs P like MH because it has a McCays.

We lovet Market Harborough and still have a flat there, althoug we live abroad. So perhaps we can meet there late October. A great mixture of nice 'boutiques' but also cheaper bargain shops- and a great charity bookshop I can't resist. The South African decor shop is wonderful too, and so are the butchers and fishmongers.

Nearly got to MH today, but went past Wistow Rural centre and got waylaid.
