Vintage I'm about 10 mins from the M74. Nearish to Hamilton/Larkhall.

Pretty you should bring ds! That'll teach him! Grin would be lovely to see you though.

A bit of advice for those going by car: the car park beside the Burrell is Pay & Display. If you are prepared to walk 5-10 minutes, you can park down in the car park by (just beyond) Pollok House (past Pollok House, down the hill, bear right and then immediately left), which is free.

VintageEbonyGold · 23/09/2012 22:31

Hairy, I'll be busing it and passing Hamilton bus station?

Yes, come Pretty.

VintageEbonyGold · 23/09/2012 22:40

Hairy, sorry it's only the 10:30am arrival that stops there, which'll probably be too late?

HairyPotter · 23/09/2012 22:40

Is the the usual bus station in Hamilton? Only it's being renovated so some buses are using the Palace Grounds instead.

If you don't mind sharing a seriously untidy car with a randomer and two annoying kids then I can meet you and give you a lift. Grin

HairyPotter · 23/09/2012 22:43

Xpost! It's not much more than half an hour further on from Hamiton so that should be ok. Where else does it stop?

VintageEbonyGold · 23/09/2012 23:40

Gah, keep losing my posts.

Stops at lesmahagow, hamilton and buchanan. Train just stops at glasgow central. A lift would be grand as I don't know glasgow at all and I'd chip in for petrol.

I'll ask the bus driver where s/he's stopping in hamilton and let you know? hope it's not too much faff for you? the buses back are at 15:25 and 18:25, so would have to be back in hamilton just before then??

VintageEbonyGold · 23/09/2012 23:43

Don't worry about the lift back as I can hop on in glasgow.

weegiemum · 23/09/2012 23:44

I just saw this and I can't come as I just got into knitting again when I lost my fine motor skills with illness and can't knit any more (and I used to be an Aran knitter!)

Hope you have a lovely time and pb, this time I'm out but feel free to drop ds here for minding fun if you need to. My ds is usually looking for a Mariokart friend!!

Just noticed the the strikeouts that worked on the iPod don't appear to worked on the laptop - my post should have read:

I'll need to see whether dh and ds are s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶'̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶a̶t̶s̶ talking to each other tomorrow morning.

I could always d̶r̶a̶g̶ bring ds along as p̶u̶n̶i̶s̶h̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ a treat Wink

prettybird · 24/09/2012 00:02

God knows what happened there! ShockShock

I'll need to see whether dh and ds are still at each other's throats talking to each other tomorrow morning.

I could always drag bring ds along as punishment a treat Wink

VintageEbonyGold · 24/09/2012 00:03

Hairy, argh, sorry, for connections down here I'll have to get the train into/out of glasgow or I'd have to leave at 2ish on my own or ask for a lift about 3ish otherwise I'm hanging around near me for 45mins at 8pm.

Sad at everyone not coming.

VintageEbonyGold · 24/09/2012 00:05

Pretty Grin that's the best mad phone posts I've seen.

HairyPotter · 24/09/2012 08:05

lizmarshmallow · 24/09/2012 08:11

lizmarshmallow · 24/09/2012 09:00

HairyPotter · 24/09/2012 09:18

The boy who never sleeps never slept, well was awake and alert till after midnight, so i missed my bus. So Sad as was looking forward to a jaunt. and a natter and cake. At least I can knit at home. The weather's rubbish so maybe as well. Have a lovely time. Quite a lot of you going a distance.

VintageEbonyGold · 24/09/2012 10:29

I'm lost Blush which cafe is it as I'm between the two taking pictures of highland coos.

Sad Basket.

prettybird · 24/09/2012 10:37

The one in the Burrell Collection, downstairs.

Baskets45 · 24/09/2012 10:51

Grin at highland coos! When I were a girl I found it really funny you could get highland coos in the middle of glasgow.
