Greatnan

You are all too kind - my glamour days are over! I am certainly well travelled though, Overthehill -I live in a little ski resort in the French Alps and so far this year I have spent seven weeks in New Zealand, two weeks snorkelling in the Red Sea, and a week cruising the River Moselle in Germany. have lived in Monaco, Brussels, England, Wales, and about eight different departments of France. I am close enough to both the Swiss and Italian borders to enable me to take guests for a visit to both of them. I will be emigrating to New Zealand in a few years to join my daughter and her family, but I have a lot of Europe to visit yet.
I was a grandmother at 42 and so was my daughter (serves her right!) and I now have ten grandchildren and great-grandchild number five is due in the Spring. I will be 73 next month, but I feel fitter than I did at 40
I generally walk for several hours a day up very steep paths - I climbed over 1,000 feet yesterday. Since starting serious walking, I have lost two stones and no longer have problem with arthritis in my knees or hips.

I have only just seen this thread, as I was out walking and taking more photos. I wish I could load them on here but for some reason it doesn't work, but I have put plenty on Facebook.

I am working on getting Gransnetters out to visit me - Anno has been twice and WhenIm64 is coming out next month.

Overhill Profiles are very useful in getting a mental image of the person sending the posts that appear. I notice that you do not have one. Why not fill it in so that we can fill in any gaps in our knowledge of you?

I have noticed there are no pictures of you elegran !!

And you don't have a profile, Nonu!

No G/nan you are very right but I did not pose the question from elegran to Overthehill.

Truth be told , I would luuure to send you all a photo of me & mister, plus anything that I think you may be interested in . BUT because I use a laptop it is not possible . So DD tells me

Most of us use laptops, I should think.

AND !!

I have no photo, but I do have some details, and everyone knows a great deal about me.

My laptop would send a photo, if I had one I wanted to send. It must just be yours, Nonu.

Overthehill has already said she prefers to let other members glean what they can from her posts, rather than put up a profile.

Em you have confused me there Elegran , what gives .

I would like you to see a photo of me & MR.

How can it be arranged I ask ??

And we managed to post our profiles from them.

I had no problem posting my profile and photograph - using a laptop. If you can store pictures on your laptop, you can create a profile.

Not difficult, Nonu Take a photo and store it on your laptop, then go to your profile and add it as it tells you on there.

I filled in a gransnet profile once – no photograph as I have systematically destroyed all pictures of me that come into my possession – but I deleted it because it sounded so ineffably boring and abysmally dull. If I were really that pathetic, I'd go and hang myself.

I'm sure there's a photo of you at your 'leaving do' on here somewhere, absent!

BUT , and it is a big BUT , my memory is limited !!

Never mind dear, we all get a bit forgetful

Gracemum.

Thank you dear !!

My laptop is very old and does not have the SD card slot - yes, that old!! If Nonu's is the same, that would explain why she can't put photos on it. I suppose it could be done by using another computer and emailing a pic to her laptop which she could then save to a file, but honestly, would you bother?

Never mind the photo, Nonu, if it is too difficult -just tell us a bit about yourself on your profile.

Most cameras have a usb socket, you can use that instead of taking the sd card out.

Not all old laptops do though.

It must be very very old laptop it it does not have a usb socket.

Be careful, everyone. The last (only) time I urged someone to create a profile I was accused of bullying. What, me?

What you read on a profile is only what that person has wanted to put. You have no way of knowing whether it is true, partly true or a complete work of fiction. Why put so much store on it? By the way, before anyone leaps in and says not to be so aggressive, it isn't meant to be that way
