Greatnan

Never mind dear, we all get a bit forgetful

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

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

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.

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

And we managed to post our profiles from them.

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 ??

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

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.

AND !!

Most of us use laptops, I should think.

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

And you don't have a profile, Nonu!

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

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?

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.

"Wonder woman" is how I would describe Greatnan

I can confirm that gn is not the conventional image of a great-grandmother - no rocking chair and knitting for her. Hiking poles and stout boots are her equipment. She is an excellent driver on those Alpine roads with infinite numbers of hairpin bends - should have been a rally driver! She's also a great hostess.

Nonu

Liz , oops the price of bacon has gone up !!

yes, well, one of our more adventurous members is how I would describe gn

What was that pink thing which just flew past my window? [Smile]

Exactly Elegran perfect description of all of us I suspect.

But that is true of all gransnetters! There is not one of us who is not slim, beautiful, elegant, gorgeously dressed and shod, our hair fashionably styled. Our houses are spotlessly clean, our children and grandchildren love us and do exactly as we want them to, our spouses are devoted, our colleagues love us . . . Lets face it, we are perfect!
