Though it does say missing since Monday. I hope this means it will be on the local TV news at seven, which lots of people watch.

Check out @embraceage on twitter, Icy and ask people to retweet.

That's great Mamie. I've contacted an old work colleague who was a TV police spokesperson who has offered to et a newsagency to phone one of the family with respect to UK media. However, they want to hold fire at present now things are beginning to move & don' want to upset the French police who are now being helpful. I'll be contacted if they change their minds to set things in motion.

I don't know what to say.

xxxxx

Shared everything on F/B...so have family/friends. Have re-tweeted everything I've seen. Links sent to DD's who have thousands of followers (many in Europe) linked to their jobs....they've tweeted.

I'm praying too

If you tweet- PLS RT missing grandmother

So am I Katy

Catching up early evening, having been out since mid day. The posts on here are so positive to read, despite the fear and anxiety we all share for Greatnan. I've shared on FB, and contacted the BBC - thanks to everyone for all they're doing, and to Lara Grandaughter, your nan has a right to be so proud of her family.

I have emailed the facebook link to a number of my contacts, one of whom used to work for the European Commission. Hopefully some may have local contacts or some way of keeping the interest and impetus alive.

Will alert all my Geneva friends. right now

Bump. Please keep using Twitter and Faceboook to spread the word. The more Tweets are sent, the higher profile this news about Carol will have.

French media have latched on to this now.

Carol's grandson in law has now consulted the family & they want to take up the offer of contact from a Newsagency (see above post) so I hope something comes of it along with all the emails to BBC etc.

I was also thinking it would be good if more people also Like the CarolSheridanMissing page so it reflects the numbers searching for her.

See Mamie's earlier post at 16.45 54 for the French media link. The day of Carol going missing is incorrect on their report.

On the forum snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=103648 someone is asking "Has this been asked about on Vallee-expats. The valley D'aulps info e-mail group ? "

That's a new one on me Elegran.

The link appeared on page 3 of a Google search I did for "Habere Poche Carol"

Moving on, I hope!

That's encouraging, Elegran. The more people have that car number plate the better.

Woke up to so many emails from media and organisations around the area that you have contacted! Definitely getting some attention now, which is exactly what we need to keep the momentum going in the search!
We've had a few more ideas that I thought I would run past you all:
Cyclists? We know that the French are very keen on cycling and have been trying to get the message through to as many cyclists in the area through forums and associations to try and get them out search too.
Mum has also written to people that she has recently contacted asking them if she has made any suggestion where she would be going.
Her sister, Kath, has now remembered that on the day that she went missing she spoke to her and suggested that she would be going out for a drive, but would not be walking as it was very wet. Any of you who have been to stay with her have any idea where she might have driven? Thinking both in terms of scenic spots that she likes but also the fact that she was talking about desperately wanting to get a new keyboard for her laptop??

Have just realised it's night time for many of you GNers now, please go and get some rest, think about other things for a while and recharge your batteries

Hi Lara/Greatganddaughter. Carol didn't want a keyboard for her laptop, she was thinking of buying a tablet with keyboard because her laptop was coming to the end of its life and whist a tablet would be ideal for her and what she would want it for, the keyboards don't suit her as an experienced typist, hence tablet with an additional plug in keyboard. If she was drivng off so have a look at those, it woud be a nearby town, as local villages don't have them or aren't open on Sunday. Can't think which one, though. If she nipped up the motorway, she will be seen on camera.

Yes, definitely cyclists - we would pass quite a few on our travels, going up and down very steep mountain passes. Plenty of walkers, too, when I was visiting.

I'm not sure about her favourite scenic views - she has so many. If it was raining and she wasn't planning a walk, she would seize an opportunity if it cleared up whilst she was out. Sorry, can't think if anything else at the moment.

Lara here's her last Facebook post about the replacement for her laptop:

'Latest idea - buy a tablet at Dixons at Heathrow! They have the Nexus 7 , a bit more expensive than other retailers, but I could handle it before buying. They also have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Finally, I have seen a back pack on wheels, which would mean I could take my current laptop without getting back or shoulder ache! I will certainly let you all know when I get fixed up.'
Saturday 12.47 pm

The reference to Heathrow was for when she sets off for NZ next month.

Hi all!

I have posted a new thread asking you all of carol's last contact on here? please will you comment if you know.

THank you
