I'll be in London at the end of October - I'm so excited! :bananadance:

I've already been emailing Eleanor (Giz-angel) so we can meet-up while I am there. We're planning lunch at Fifteen one afternoon - anyone in the London area or nearish want to join us? I LURVE Jamie Oliver so I can't pass up an opportunity to visit his restaurant while I am there. :wub:

Obviously, my dates aren't confirmed yet (have to purchase plane tickets first) but once that's done more concrete plans will be made.

The reservation at Fifteen can be made up to 6 months in advance and dear Gizzy has agreed to take care of it, we just need to know how many would like to join us! My BF will be there too, though I'm sure he'll just think we are all crazy!! LOL

So, how's about it? Sunny? Camis? Anyone? :peek:

I'm not close to London at all, but would love to come and meet up. I will do my absolute best to be there!!

Gizzy said you are near Liverpool? The BF and I alread have one day earmarked for Liverpool - Beatles museum and tour and all that. We LURVE the Beatles too! :)

You could meet us there if it would be easier for you!

Yes, very near Liverpool, so could see you there instead. But if you are having a big bookobs knees up in London don't want to miss it :D

I'd be interested - never been to Fifteen and would love to meet up with bookobsessed people. Can we get away with piles of books on the table??

Hmmm...tables might be too small but a bag under your feet might work!! :giggle:

I'm going to book this as soon as Kel gives me a date :) it does look yum - sunny I hope you can make it and where's that camis???

Kel how long will you be staying in good old London?
I still want to go there for a mini holiday. It has been too long.

Last time I was there I visited punk clubs, now I would also like to see some touristic stuff.
and don't forget the second hand books stores. :bananadance:

Right now, we're looking at the dates of October 22nd - 31st. We have to be there for the 26th, because that is when the football game is. Depending on plane fares and hotel costs, we may add a day at the beginning or end, but we are not sure yet.


Would it be best to make the reservation on a weekday or a weekend? :unsure:

I am cool with a weekday or the weekend it depends when is good for everyone else? If I make the reservation in the next few weeks I am sure either will be possible.

Well If I go and visit London at that time I am not going to do the lunchie thingy.

So no need to reserve for me.

You don't want to meet up with us, Marleney? :unsure:

Weekend would deffo be better for me :)

How about Sunday 26th Oct? Any good for you Kel? And Sunny and camis - is sunday ok for you?

The 26th is the football game (see one of previous posts about trip dates), and as of right now I have NO idea what time it will be at. Better go for the 25th, Saturday.

Cool with me - I was being thick and forgetting the game - what is the game Kel - I am sure you told me but I have a pea brain :erm:

So Saturday 25th, ladies (and Mr Kel) who lunch?

I think I'll have to wait until Kel is up here after all - Sorry guys. Couple of things going on in RL which mean I should be saving my pennies.

:cry:

Just seen this post. My daughter flies back to Australia on 25th Oct or we would both join you cos she is also a bookcrosser.

Yay, more people!! :bananadance:

Wasn't there someone else in England (although I don't know exactly where) - candy-is-dandy? :unsure:

Yep CiD is in Essex which is close by - can't think of any more regulars...

I thought I could grab everyone at the Convention Kel, find out who is about and then we can finalise a date, then I will book :)

I spotted that you have been talking about me. I have pencilled in the 25th Oct as I'd very much like to join you. I like food and bookcrossers!!

Teachie? I can't remember where teachie lives....

Yes I want to meet you,otherwise I would have picked another date. :whip: Just not very much into the fancy lunch thing. :rolleyes:

(especially my purse is not.) Jamie Oliver? :o :wacko: ) I think expensive

It's not as expensive as I though M - I admit I was a bit scared as I am on a small budget too but when I checked... it wasn't so bad. I am going to treat it as a birthday present to myself!

Teachie lives in Buckinghamshire.

That's right! Well tis only up the road...

Spiderchic? Come down from Mancs for the day?

Pumpkin? Glasgow? Hmmmmmm maybe a bit far.... :giggle:

Spidey might be better coming to Liverpool :whistle:

I just got a load of leaflets and a map to send to you Kel :)

I would love to come but my daughter flies back to Australia that afternoon so we will be travelling up and down to Gatwick airport.

But that's almost London..... :whistle:

That's exactly what I thought too, Gizzy! I expected it to be a lot more.

Well, when the BF and I go to Liverpool, it will probably be the whole day, and we are planning to lunch here:

ETA: Uhmm....I'm looking at the menu...and uh...what's bubble and squeak? :unsure:

I just had bubble and squeak for tea!

It's mashed potato with bits of leftover veg in, usually cabbage ( I like to add onions too) and fried into sort of patties..

Damn!! I was going to tell her it's deep-fried mouse!!

:whip:


I would have looked it up anyway!! :lol: :rolleyes:

:evil: :rofl:
