Edinburgh meet up

I hope thatbags will have recovered enough from her stay with her mother to join us.

Leaving the house soon in order to catch the 10:10 train. See yous all soon! Just need to check on the map where the place is. It's just as well I remembered in time that it's not the ROSL!

See you soon, thatbags!

Papavero on Howe St which in a continuation of Frederick Street. Right?

Travelling with Minibags because she wants to go and see the degree showing at the Art College.

Right.

Thanks for organising this Elizabeth1. Very enjoyable lunch and catch up. Nice to meet new face too Oldgoat!

I thought this was a Christmas meet in December?
Failed again

That is what happens when two meets are on threads at the same time, Grannylyn Never mind - there will be others.

It was a lovely lunch and so good to meet Oldgoat .
grannylyn65, we were looking forward to meeting you and really sorry you weren't there, but we'll see you in December!
We may even manage another wee meet before then....hopefully?

Just home. Delayed slightly by needing iced coffee (strawberry and watermelon cooler in Minibags's case) after a hot train ride. Lovely to see everyone and to meet oldgoat for the first time.

The cheese and pear pasta parcels were fab too.

What a lovely day in beautiful Edinburgh - the city was buzzing. I must look into these discounted vouchers for future reference then there wouldn't be the palaver I got into today. Anyhow I did enjoy the lunch even although it didn't look like a fish -.it tasted like a fish because it was a fish. (Cod) to be precise. Yummy. It was lovely to meet up with everyone today and to meet another twin oldgoat here's to the next meet up.

Thanks Eliz1 for organising everything. What a difference the sun makes! Lovely to see everyone again and to meet oldgoat. Look forward to the next time

It was such a treat to meet all you lovely North-of-the-Border GNers yesterday for the Edinburgh meet-up. It was quite scary turning up for a meal with a group of (almost) complete strangers but you were all so friendly and welcoming that I shouldn't have worried. Thanks very much elizabeth 1 for organising the tasty meal -- I am back on my strict diet again today!
Really looking forward to the December meet-up.

I forgot to tell you what you missed when you all buzzed off leaving me to my farewell loo visit. One of the young waiters or chefs was changing his shirt in the corridor leading to the loos.

Well if you're organising entertainment like that you should have told us in advance!

It's your own fault if you missed it - you went away too soon!

Och!

Elegran You didn't see his legs by any chance?

Elizabeth1 It was a SHIRT for goodness sake, not a nightshirt!

Would like to join the Edinburgh group.

Lovely to hear from you, Moira13 and I hope we meet you in person soon. You have just missed us on the 16th August, and the next thing arranged is the Christmas lunch on 5th December, but there is sure to be something else before then. If you go to www.gransnet.com/forums/meet_ups_where_are_you/1228116-Planning-ahead-C-s-lunch-in-Edinburgh you will see all about the Christmas lunch, including the menu, and you can add your name if it sounds as though you would like it.
Meanwjile, keep watching the forums for the next lunch.

Cant guarantee there are topless waiters though!

Elegran remember the man in the kilt?
