Well while we're waiting around for a tart emoticon to f. F. fly by (@Sue.Q are you listening?) and put in an appearance, how about some real ones from @wildmissus posted recently on the 'scenic route' tent - these do for you @Ballerina??

Great idea @Debs Think everyone should wear something tartan on the day brilliant!!
Yes @Silverdarling I would Fflyy up to see such an event if I could just to see you all wearing tartan something's all different of course. Les whatever his name is would be very proud of you all.
Just googled his name McKeown
OMG They are touring again this year!!!
I'll see if I can get him to join you for coffee.

Really??? Some people should give up gracefully!!!! I hope they can afford nursing care like the Rolling Stones while on tour
I think all wearing tartan should be a goer to id the group. So no tartan knickers please

The big day approaches with mounting excitement thanks to our cheerleaders, so I thought I'd do a summary of where we're at -

9 for coffee at the Balmoral

@wildmissus and her sister
@FatDog
@caitlin
@Nessie
@Silverdarling
@Alf
@Ballerina
@barbarita

As @Nessie will be getting in at 10.35 should we start congregating at 10.30?

@Ballerina will not be joining us for lunch so if everyone else does that means 8 of us. Various places mentioned, including Henderson's but concerns were raised that this might be too heaving and noisy on a Saturday afternoon. I am staying out of this debate as I don't know Edinburgh well enough to contribute, but the more knowledgeable will agree on somewhere and book?

Also if anyone else can make it, please speak up the more the merrier

Lunch in the Balmoral brasserie is very nice and not silly money, their daily menu is £14.50 for two courses and there is normal menu to choose from also not silly money. This might be the easiest and most central location for everyone. I shall be in Edinburgh from the Thursday on so if everyone is happy with this I can easily pop in and book the table. @Janeg
We will lift a glass to you whilst there, xx
