It was really nice to see everyone at the meeting, have now put faces to names, my only complaint...... I had to leave early.
The good news about the interview I went for..... I got the job! YES! :D
I then had another do to attend as, it was my nephews 16th birthday and his parents had a Barbie (food, not the doll) set up for him, so all in all Saturday was a really good day for me, spent in good company and having a great time.
I trust you all got home safely and enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Catch you all later! :D

Fantastic news on the job, it was great meeting you too.
 
oh Jim, that is such great news

what a day to had - meeting all of us (so glad you came along), a new job (congratulations) and a BBQ.

great to meet you Jim, hope we can all meet up again in the future
 
Finally made it home, safe and sound 🙂 Got a bit panicky on the coach when we hit delays on the M1 and thought I might miss my train - coach was 45 minutes late but made it to train with 5 minutes to spare.

I had a brilliant time, many thanks to everyone who came, and particularly to Hazel and Carol for looking after a naive and frightened sassenach so well....

More to come later, I need my bed! 😱

well done jim:D

Great news on the job Jim, congratulations!

It was really good to meet some of you. Sorry we couldn't stay long, it was an incredibly busy weekend! Also sorry I was pretty quiet - I'm normally shy anyway but on Saturday BG was awful - had a hypo on arrival and had shot to 15 by the time we left, so it didn't make for a very cheerful duck.

Hope to make it to another meet soon and stay a bit longer - & guess my carbs better!

Emma, it was lovely to meet you and your OH, so don't apologise for anything, I know everyone was really pleased you came 🙂 I had a 15 as well - I blame all those diabetics sat at our table! 😉

I had a hypo just as my train was pulling into Queen Street and then a 16, it looks as though gatherings of diabetics are not good for our sugar levels.

Congratulations on the job Jim! 🙂
 
Interesting report.
One point of correction - Charles Rennie Mackintosh did more than inspired Willow Tea Rooms - he designed the interior. Lots more about his work, mostly in and near Glasgow, here: http://www.crmsociety.com/ My grandparents, born in Ayrshire and Helensburgh in 1910s, lived in Paisley after they married in 1930s, were fans of his design and art, and often told me about it, so I have visited many of his buildings when passing through Glasgow.

Duly corrected! I know Hazel told me, but my titanic coach journey befuddled my senses and I couldn't quite remember 🙂
 
By the way, I woke to a lovely warm, sunny morning in Glasgow. As soon as I left Scotland the rain started and it was incessant and torrential all the way down! Why is it that you Scots always seem to get the best weather? 😉
 
lol so i look nothing like my pic on here 😉 , must have been something in the air as my bs was 3.7 on the train in and 10.9 in the counting house :(
