Oooohhh I was talking about this in the staffroom today! Not sure my collegues really got the whole guinea pig thing though. I am really excited about it, only a few months to go!

I'm thinking the same thing too, i am really sorry because i would like to come especially as i have met helen and her rescue piggies, but with my partner losing his hours at work i really can not commit.

However, if the situation changes i may be able to travel up on the day for an hour or two...depending on funds re petrol of course. :red

It would be great if you could come up for the day.
I think nearer the time we'll try and post what will be happening and when, so if you only want to come up for a few hours you can chose when.

Hi Karina,

Yes do try to come over. Some people are only coming up for an hour or so for a quick hello and a chat. Not everyone is staying and I am turfing everyone out at around 6pm to the bar anyway so its only really a 12 til 6pm thing - then folk can go to to bar or restaurant - whatever they wish.

We are staying in a travel lodge and it is quite affordable so well worth looking at.
 
Thanks helen

I'm very sensible so I'm the photographer :)

I'm sure I also remember you had a lovely collection of single malts too mmmm

I'm afraid our new arrival is due this weekend ( child not piggy) and I KNOW
I would get my nuts chopped off, as I was working at Creamfields the day our first was
Due so won't get away with it twice :(

Have fun all

Andy

Is this The Mill in Gretna? Do you have a chapel on site that is painted green?and lovely etched glass in the doors?

If yes to the above I stayed there when I was matron of honour at a wedding and the manager thought I was trouble (lol) and there was a fight at another wedding but I was in my chalet so he couldn't blame me! :)
 
Hi, yes it is the Mill in Kirkpatrick Fleming just outside Gretna.

We do have a Chapel, The Forge, its not green but does have stained glass doors in the entrance hallway.

A fight? Goodness that's very rare here - I have no doubt Graham will remember it. When did you stay?

Helen.

I'm trying to think...maybe 8 or 9 years ago now...my friends were married by a lovely man can't remember his real name because we ended up calling him Yoda lol...but it was a lovely ceremony, late afternoon I think because the candles were lit even though it was just the 4 of us. We had a lovely time.

I can remember running down to reception in my finery to show someone our flowers on the quiet so they could match up the table settings for the meal we had afterwards.

The couple that got married were tina bishop and kevin richer...my name is jess...do you remember a 6ft woman in a badly fitting purple trouser suit? If so that was me! I had to borrow the suit off my mum as we weren't given much notice that we were being called into service as witnesses...we were meant to just be guests lol!
 
Hi i'm new to the forum but saw that you are having meet.

I would really like to come and saw that it's up here in Scotland, i'm in edinburgh so would just drive down for the day.

I am pretty new to guinea pigs as well, and had joined the forum to get some advice about one of my ill piggies but unfortunately we lost him at the weekend which was devastating. Would love to come and get some guinea pig info!

The boyfriend ain't up for the idea but spoke to my mum who would like to come too (she has rabbits but she may end up wanting piggies :) she certainly loves coming to see mine).

So would it be ok if i made an appearance? :)

Hi Eilidh

You are very welcome to come along. I am between Lockerbie and Gretna - so its not too far for you to travel really.

Sorry to hear you lost a piggy. We do have a fosterer up in Glasgow and do rehome around your area too if and when you are ready to adopt another piggy.

Will look forward to chatting with you on forum and to seeing you in November.

Love Helen.x
 
I've just looked up The Mill on the net and it is deff where we stayed for my friends wedding. I only wish I could come for the forum get together :(.

So I'm guessing the guy who seemed to be keeping tabs on me when I was there is your OH? My friends said he must have known I'm known as the tall, loud, scary one and needed to be kept an eye on
lol xx>>>
