Hi, I am 61 and have nine grandchildren. The eldest is 23 years old and the youngest is nearly four months so I could well end up with great grandchildren older than some of me grandchildren! Still I wouldn't change it for the world. I love being a grandma.

Hi everyone. Well we all seem to have the same opinion regarding the logo.

angel I think shellshocked just about sums it up!

Hi Glassortwo, I think the word for my friend is shellshocked!!!

I'm 64...that's not old is it? Love the idea of Gransnet, but the logo and general look of the banner heading has missed the mark a bit.

Your posts make me feel practically senile - I'm 72, first became a granny at 60. I don't think I'm unusual as the average age of having a first child seems to be getting later, i.e. a lot of our Ds and DiLs are giving birth in their 30s. But I suppose at my age I may not get to be a great-granny, though I'd really like to get there.

At least put the gran in a nice blouse from per una.

I'm 69 and even I was a very small child in the days of the WW2 land army! I think the logo is ridiculous! What were they thinking of! grin

angel hi, I love being a grandma, I have 5 now. I thought I was young at 38, what does your friend think of being a SGM in her 30's.

I agree about the logo, it looks like the inspiration has been taken from war time era! I know that 'retro' and 'vintage' are in fashion at the moment, but there must have been something better and maybe even more colourful that they could come up with! smile

By the way I'm a 'granny in waiting' at the moment and I'm 52, and I've a friend who is going to be a step gran and she is in her 30's !!!!

The logo is very old hat, I dont even know anyone who was in the Land Army, I am 55 not 75 as the logo implies.

I'm 58 and remember that my own gran was (or so I thought at the time) an 'old lady' by then. How times change - my in-laws are both 75 and I never think of them as old.

Although I am in my sixties - the sixties are the new forties by the way - I agree. Completely wrong and the person who came up with it was probably paid a fortune!

It has been my experience that most grans are in their 40's or 50's these days.....hardly old, so what's with the logo?
