Glasgow Grannies!

There must be some grannies in Glasgow, up for a meet up. It doesn't have to be lunch. Where are they all hiding?

Was speaking to Baggs at our Edinburgh lunch and suggested to a few folks perhaps we could arrange a meet up next year in Glasgow as it’s also a beautiful city. So watch this space.

Bump

Welcome Katyfrae
At last, some mair Glesca grannies!
We were talking about this at the Edinburgh lunch (you would be welcome at the next one at Christmas) and wondering if we could have a Glasgow mini meet quite soon. We area friendly bunch and don't bite!
I'm up to my eyes for the next few weeks, but after that I'm good. At the moment, Tuesdays are good for me.
Come December it will change when DGD to nursery.

Anyone interested in meeting up sometime for a natter or get together with other grans. I'm a newbie on the site ?

We can do another when others can join us!

obe, I'm still up for a Bing Dessert on the Dumbarton Road some time this coming week: 10—14 Sept if you are. I'll have seen my youngest DD off to uni and it's my elder grandson's ninth birthday during that week. Celebrations are in order! Wanna join me? Let me know. ???

Me tooOBEWAN How about October?

OBEWAN, I'm still up for a meet.

Oh well ? The demise of the GGs... I’m off for a very large gin! Enjoy Edinburra ?

Jan, I wondered where you were lurking.
I too, would rather be "sans weans". Our is too demanding!
I'm off to Rome on Friday, so excited, even although I've been lots of times before.

Enjoy Lanzarote and I will meet you in Edinburgh, usual place!

Glesca Grannies sounds good but this one is escaping the GC by having a quiet 2 weeks in Lanzarote,returning just in time for the Edinburgh meet. Yaaayy!!
I will come any other time but sans GC!! My experience says that when we have the weans with us the conversation is all about them!
(That sounds as though I don't like the youngsters and nothing could be further from the truth, but I crave adult time too!)

It would be great if more grannies came forward. There must be grannies in Renfrewshire, Dumbartonshire, Lanarkshire, East Renfrewshire etc.
Perhaps they are just shy.
The first time I went to the Edinburgh lunch, I was so nervous, but everyone was so welcoming.

Hello All, week beginning 17 September doesn’t work for me - sorry ?. And Marydoll is so right! Where are the Glasgow Grannies? GGs are an institution! Maybe they’re just too busy grannying?

Hi Craicon, your username sounds Scottish.

Hello Glesga gals. My DH is from Springburn originally and I loved visiting my MIL when she was alive (lived in a retirement complex in Maryhill).
Sadly no rellies still living in Glasgow but we’re planning to have a family visit some day to show the kids/grandkids around. Definitely prefer shopping and visiting Glasgow over Edinburgh.

I know, I'm expert at getting round Glesca! I often take the Subway from St Enoch to Cowcaddens if I'm going to Sauchiehall St. That hill is a killer for me.
I just love train journeys.

Thank you Marydoll, always knew you were a weegie from your name!
Incidentally you can go out of Central onto Hope Street and catch any bus going to Buchanan Bus station if you want to use your bus pass. You an tell I have always been thrifty, can't you?

I do have a bus pass, but I struggle with the walk from Central station to Buchanan Street Bus station.
I can get off one train and straight onto the other. I sit with a Krispy Crème choc doughnut, a drink and the Metro crossword. Bliss.
The others pick up the train on the Edinburgh line, so no buses.
It would be lovely to meet you.
Enjoy the sunshine.

Lurking in Ibiza here. Don't have my calendar with me so unsure if I am free but if I am I would be happy to pop in to wherever you decide on.
Marydoll, why don't you ladies bus it to Edinburgh? Or are you all too young for a bus pass?

I'm bumping this thread. We can't be the only grannies in Glasgow.

There must be other Glasgow Grannies, who are lurking.

Shows how easy it is. Ugh.

SCREAM!

I mean you're, of course!

Okay, we better wait till your back from Rome, of only so you can tell us about it over ice-cream or cake, mdoll.

How does the following week, beginning Monday 17th suit people?
