    HelenB coming to Scotland

    OK, for one reason or another , I think I'm going to head north of the border to visit Red Hot & Blue on the 16th May

    Before I book my flights, is there any lovely forumite who could let me reside at their abode for the weekend/suggest somewhere to stay? I'm thinking of coming up on the Friday and leaving on the Sunday

    Any suggestions for stuff to do before I go back (or companionship) also most welcome

    Helen

    Re: HelenB coming to Scotland

    If you spend any time in Glasgow then these might be worth a visit:

    Fratelli Sarti Glasgow, Italian restaurants, authentic Italian Cuisine, pizza, pasta

    The GSA | Creative Education and Research - GSA - Home

    Charles Rennie Mackintosh The Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow.

    I just happened to have those links from my trip to Glasgow last year. Edinburgh is great as well but I will let the locals tell you about that. Certainly recommend eating as something to do in both Glasgow and Edinburgh - there are some fabulous eateries in both cities. The art galleries and museums are great too.

    The dancers are very hospitable as well.

    I can't offer you a place to stay, but I'd be glad to do my tour guide bit one day.

    Yeay! Also on the Saturday we should do something. I have plans in trying to arrange some sort of party then but, even if that falls through, it would be great to see you .

    Hi,
    we bumped into each other @ Louisa's & Gary's leaving dance.

    Hint:-118 & the girl who came up from Nottingham.
    I wasn't until after you left that Louisa told me your alias.
    Thanks for the lovely dance.

    Re: HelenB coming to Scotland

    Well I had a superb weekend north of the border

    Foremost thanks to LemonCake and Pretzelmeister for letting me stay and being the best hosts anyone could dream for. Food coming out of my ears, comfy bed and plenty of tea Not to mention the cake

    Friday I had a great time at R,H&B with some fab dances. Even got to WCS with Brady It was lovely to meet some new forumites and catch up with those I knew already

    Saturday, another trip to Edinburgh for dancing - an "interesting" train journey there and fab dances. to those who did dress up. Hold luggage restrictions my excuse I'm afraid Had some amusing times on the train journey home too (Go on Fi, you know you want to... I'll protect you)

    And then Sunday, breakfast to die for followed by a tour of Glasgow by the lovely McJester including meeting some absolutely crazy Glaswegians - eek!

    Thanks to those who danced with me, fed me, amused me, kept me sane, proved my intelligence, played with me (oo-er) and just were genuinely lovely. I'm afraid I'll be back...

    Hey, you did a t-shirt which was great ; unfortunately not quite good enough to beat my daughter's augmentations though .

    Thank you for coming up and hope we made you feel at home up here.

    Thanks Dad! I knew I would make you proud one day!

    Although you may have claims of nepotism given your winner and runner up were both members of your family....
