I'm new

hebrideanlady, that tickled me enormously when I first read it, but I was worried it would be too small when I put it in my profile page. Thinking back to the 60s, things were a bit like that, but I don`t know many who conformed.

numberplease i have just read the extract of sex advice which is amongst your lovely photos, the bit about "we should humbly agree" with husbands desires, its hilarious!!! that must be why I have been married 3 times, I cant say I do humble.

I had a beautiful little tortie rescue cat she was gorgeous, sadly she was run over right outside my house so I vowed never again, then 1 of my daughter started to breed ragdolls (indoor) ones so I got 2 kittens. A friend of mine had a white kitten which went outside, an eagle took it, How awful is that

I thought all cats did.

And so does our black one !

You too? Our white rescue cat thinks we`re just here to be her slaves!

Thanks numberplease, i shall try and sort the photos. Willow and Blossom are Ragdolls, brother and sister, we are only here to serve them

Hebrideanlady, just been looking at your photos, those are two beautiful cats! Wish they were larger pics, the scenery looks lovely.

hebridean more inland than Alnwick close to The Scottish/England border. It's a beautiful part of the country.

Thanks for the tip glassortwo, I see from your profile you are renovating a house in Northumberland, is it anywhere near Alnwick? we were there 2 years ago for a holiday, its one of my favourite places.

Or become the local editor hebrideanlady

Some of the local sites are not up and running fully yet, post a message and see if anyone replies. I think GNHQ are still looking for local editors.
But have a look at the Edinburgh local as I think it's one of the most successful of the sites and they have some great meetings.

Advice please, I looked at the LOCAL for Highlands & Islands and there's nothing there. Its a very big area, there's no Pubs, Hotels, Hospitals, Doctors or Shops, either i am not pressing the right buttons, we don't exist or somebody should put some stuff in. Which is it .

Gorki ... [wishful thinking]

I have been looking through lots of posts, one i noticed was, supermarkets full of Christmas goodies, that i do miss!! Large supermarkets, if I go to the mainland its like a trolly dash. Like kids in a sweet shop.

lol @ kittylester

Hello from me, too.
I'm a recent joiner like you.
Not yet a Gran but expecting!
I'm also a Scot. But unfortunately living in exile.
Boo, hoo.

I think we should have a meetup there don't you Grannyknot? !!! . Only half joking !!

Welcome and I just had one of the best holidays ever on the Western Isles. In that glorious July weather. We did them all ... from top to bottom! So I am jelly-envious of you, only a little bit.

I have sent you a PM about Margaret. Usually you will receive notification of this through your emails but not always so just press your inbox at the top of this page and the message will appear.

Welcome hebrideanlady. I've only been to Scotland twice and then barely into the highlands even. I can remember reading once that Scotland is beautiful whatever the weather and in every season of the year.

The best description of where i live, is Dartmoor by the sea, The main road round the Island is 34ml, then there is 800 named Lochs, so quite a lot of water

And welcome, hebrideanlady!

kitty! Good job the nights are closing in...

Hello and welcome, new lady from the Hebrides. I know Scotland quite well, but not the Hebrides, but I bet the way of life there is a huge contrast to Torquay. I lived in Torquay for 50 years, but am now on the edge of Dartmoor which is so peaceful, just like your island is, I expect.
I hope you will enjoy being a gransnetter.
