woops had it in me head it was monday comming sat anyway in case we get lost

Arriving here on Saturday evening ! *Yelp * You've got my mobile,we can do something at the weekend.... * rushes around *

Polly, are you flustered? Panic ye not, we will get there! Remember if plan A fails there are another 25 letters in the alphabet! Still waiting to hear re Lochaber News, I had to resort to leaving a message for her.

What time will you be there Woody....? * don't tell you know who ?*

I can be there any time and don't need to rush away now either as I have done several favours and have let it be known I expect them repaid next Tuesday! What time will you all be there?

I haven't been reading the meet thread. Move too fast for this old codger. Just know I'll be there. Lemon will lead the way.

Goodness me, what an honour, our author on this thread > Yes, you will be told what to do and where to go... RDA has booked it from 11am onwards.. We'll be there then with Pussycat and Mr Pussycat... Jane will pick the traincomers up at 1202.. Afterwards we are coming back here and either going out for fish and chips,High quality ones* in Mallaig or I could do a burnt offering here....

Ok, I'll leave here about 9am and should be with you 11.15ish allowing for traffic in Inverness.

Good, aren't we organised, do you want to come back here as well ?

Not sure about that as I'll probably be working at 6am on Wednesday! We'll see though, got a new chef trying out tomorrow (have put him on a 6am start - that usually lets us see what they're like!) and 2 to interview for general assistant's job as well so anything can happen!

Do you get prima Donna Chefs as well, what a nightmare !!

Had a total star last year - could have sold snow to the Eskimos by his way of it, only trouble was he'd have burnt it first! One day I'll write a book about so-called professional chefs! Our cook is retirement age on 7th Sept and is cutting back her hours so I need to go down this route again...

Woody that's giving you plenty time to get there especially with tourist traffic but you know the way so you should be there nearer 11am-ish............Daniel....you're probably safer to sit back and nod & agree!!! Really looking forward to meeting everyone face to face :-) Polly.......will get you some KALMS from the chemist.........if not your stress levels will resemble a whistling kettle!!!! Polly be easier on everyone if we eat out and also we need to keep your stress levels low..........you have others staying with you that you can entertain with your cooking for the rest of their stay but for the day of the meet take the day off woman!!! :-))) So def no.'s for GHH are 11????......any advances on 11???? LOL RDA.x.

ok, will book The Steam Inn, pity it doesn't have a good view...but would anyone notice.. We can have a walk round the harbour afterwards.....

Errrr - evening ladies :O) Just a wee bit concerned about the mention of 'climbing' - do I errrr need to bring my walking boots or will stillettos suffice??? lol A x

I've the A96 to contend with first, RDA!! Takes me 15mins at 5.45am - same journey can take an hour and longer at 8.30am! There can't be any more bits of that road to resurface, surely, and we had the 'traffic survey' over 3 days last week; Customs and Traffic Commissioners had a purge about 3 weeks ago.. Surely there won't be any more delays!

There's the Glenfinnan Monument if anyone wants to climb it, Anne - fantastic view - I'll be passing on that though, no head for heights! Have a look on the net..

I'm not going up there.. Tiny trap door at the top to climb up, then you have to back down,, no, not me....Too wide...! Daniel can do it... *pictures Lemon and McAnne in stilletoes climbing up there...* Hopre the weather is good, been nice for the last few days...

Well Polly if you're too wide for the wee trap door at the top then there's not a hopes chance of me getting through it.....we'll send Daniel :-)))) If you want a view for eating Polly then the Cornerstone has one of the best.....it's above the paper shop on the corner??? Can you picture it?? Well it's got windows over the harbour......it's an option to think about............they do good fish & chips and there is an alternative on their menu for the non-fish eater being me!!! RDA.x.

Not been in that one,Is the batter good, I like a good crispy batter and the Steam Inn does a beer batter, really crispy and not stodgy...
