Gillymary, there is always a room for you in Tas!

Just you wait til Fatdog and I do our world tour of Edinburgh in April, you will all be gagging to be included..............you will all be welcome. Glad you had a lovely time and look forward to your adventures across the pond

Only if we are allowed to go whiskey tasting...... Its only an hour and a half on the train from me.....

...and I'm the one with the black bag. It's heavy mind!

You'll need to head to Ireland for the whiskey @rawkaren, they'll only serve you whisky up here

OK - Harvey Nicks, afternoon tea at Jenners, drinks at the Oxford Bar, ghost walk and dungeon tour, lots of wee drams ... any other suggestions?

That's a grand schedule there @Silverdarling, but it has to be the Balmoral for afternoon tea - unless it has changed horribly, it is really delightful, not uber expensive (no more than Jenners), and they have someone playing the harp up in the gallery... Haven't done the ghost walk / dungeon tour but believe it is *very* "atmospheric" (eeeek). And, if there's less than a dozen of you, you can "come back to mine for dinner" (I might need to miss the Oxford bar to get cooking, but that's okay - I've been there before:))

What a great idea! Surprisingly, i got that right before seeing the answer. The choccie was the easiest. The answer is in SD's signature.

Everyone should do this when they meet up!

You girls crack me up! I laughed when I saw the photos of you shoes, bags and choccies. Xxx

Just to whet your appetites, Saturday 12th April looks like a good one for me for the Edinburgh hootin' n roarin' get together. Getting all excited now..... and @Gillyary you can come with us it will just have to be a virtual trip for you though but we will have a drink for you

P.S. I shall be in Fife on the 2 previous Saturdays so I can come down for the day if necessary on either of those dates. Actually, I can be there any time from the 22nd March onwards. Do you get the impression I am enthusiastic about this?

Boo hoo, nobody wants to come to Wales....

PFT, beloved and I were talking about our summer break this year and I was saying I've never been to Wales. It may be on the cards...

Boo hoo, nobody wants to come to Wales....

Don't worry Penny, no one wants to come to the East Midlands either, I always have to travel but that is OK. Anyway, I suspect if we all turned up at yours we'd love it so much you'd NEVER get rid of us

@julianna love your new photo!

getting excited already!

@rawkaren - how are you fixed re the above band of dates?? Or is it just too early to say?

Still thinking of going down to Pembrokeshire at some point @PennyForthem - possibly a meetup between a few of us then??

I'm putting 12 April in the diary as a file note. However @ballerina, if I visit my mum in Leicester I will let you know the dates just in case you happen to be around. Maybe @creakypete too and anyone else around that neck of the woods
