So far I have funky fudge Truffles and crunchy cappuccino  Truffles.......does anyone have a favourite flavour I can accommodate?

Marzipan?

It seems there are two Perky Peacock coffee shops in York. We should meet at the one under Lendal Bridge, NOT the one on Gillygate.

Fuzzy has posted some good directions, but note it's The Perky Peacock rather than The Pesky Peacock.

Whoops eye site not so good and the r is soooo close to the s 

Fat fingers strike again 

[CanonChrissy]

Is there a pesky peacock?

[Ryewolf]

I know there are peacocks in York I've seen them berfore. The Perky Peacock on Lendal bridge should be only a few minutes walk from the station - I'm coming by train.

 

[Ryewolf]

 Will there be a big TIPF banner with flashing neon lights saying Welcome TIPF members or something a little more subtle...?

[CanonChrissy]

Ryewolf what time r u arriving at the station

[Ryewolf]

Just checked the 08:03 train arrives in York at 10:00am

Mine arrives 10:10

[Korky]

Chrissy - If you want to wander off with the others and take some pictures, I'll look after the truffles till you all get back.

I'm getting all excited - first time since I saw Barbara Windsor in Carry On Up the Khyber.

I could meet you at the station entrance....

[CanonChrissy]

That would be nice ryewolf cheers x

[CanonChrissy]

Would someone PM me their mobile so I have a contact in case anything goes wrong or I cant make it?

[NannyFerret]

Have a great time everyone.  
Looking forward to seeing your pics.

[CanonChrissy]

Thanks nanny. I have a couple of numbers now so thanks guys. Ryewolf I will pm u my number for the station.

[Kobione]

Still wishing I could be there with you all - have a great day.

[Brian]

Wish we (Kobione and I) could be there with you all. Would someone take a group photo, with names so I can put a face to our TIPF friends. Deirdre's met some of you but I haven't had that privilege.

I'll let Phil do the group shot but I tend to shoot incidental stuff all the time when I'm out with friends so expect shots of everyone as we go about the day in York.

[Ryewolf]

And I'll be the one with the 600mm lens watching you all...Only joking I've decided based on the weather that the 150-600mm lens isn't going to be as useful as the ring flash... and I think a few of us are also on the Film 24 Challenege so I also need to take my fim camera along............

[CanonChrissy]

I'm stuck on a broken down train. Not sure when I'm gonna get there! I'm furious.

[NannyFerret]

I hope you weren't delayed too long, Chrissy. 

It's a good job you got the phone numbers to let the others know that you would be late.

[CanonChrissy]

Nanny I never got there.....they took the train back to where we started tried to organise replacements buy it would been after 12.00 when I arrived so I just came home.......sad I missed it though.

[Phil]

Well, I'm home. Walked in the house at 6.15, photos downloaded, the majority will be deleted but there some worth posting, editing now.

It's been a great day and real treat to meet those that turned up, and in typical Yorkshire style the weather didn't disappoint. We really must make the time to do it again, and hopefully we'll get a few more takers  

[Black Pearl]

That's me home too - after a stop for a bottle of red - Lightroom is fired up, the files are importing, I'm having a snigger at some of the sights and I'm going to settle down to sort some ready for posting.

It has been a pleasure to meet those who came, I've has a thoroughly good day and yes - we must do it again.

[CanonChrissy]

Glad u r home safe. I so wish I coulda made it.  Bloody Grandcentral trains
