New member

Bez, Bez1989 is the newbie, I think we all just used the abbreviation forgetting it would be confused with your user name, sorry!

Flipping heck Galen You were on top of a geologically important volcano and you talk paleontology! There's no hope for some people!

Thank you for your good wishes but have to admit that - I am not new!!! Been here for about eighteen months or so but do not post a lot! I haven't posted regularly on Mick's daily thread for a couple of months as we were away and I have not admitted the indiscretions and their results on the weigh in thread for a while either!! - this should be a FAT grin.

Hi Pergola, you are lucky to be moving to such a lovely place. I live the other side of Southampton. Very wet and windy around here at the moment as well although we don,t seem to get as bad storms as most of the country. I love gransnet as well but still getting used to it

Hello to the newcomers.I'm sure you all will find good advice, humour and help as well as a mine of information. Enjoy!

have to say florrie ive belonged to quite a few forums over the years and none have been as warm and friendly as gransnet...

hello all have fun

Wow, amazing response! Thanx everyone for the lovely welcome! Pittcity, will definitely head over to the local GN, am all up for meeting in RL sometime. Had no idea I was considered young to be a granny, will be 50 next month and have planned a week of celebrations (having a party and then spending three nights at a hotel in Torquay) really looking forward to it! x

Hello to everyone new. and

Hiya Florrie, Bez and Pergola, and welcome. Florrie, you arte definitely a young gran, you are younger than my eldest and the same age as my second daughter.

and hello 'Newbies' from me too.

Thanks for the welcome on a dark windy night. A good night's sleep everybody.

grandma60 - it sounds as if you live in Hants. I cant wait but I "aint going nowhere" tonight. So windy. Gransnet is great but I found it confusing at first but I think it is great.

Lovely to have lots of new (and newish) gransnetters joining and adding to threads. This is the only forum I belong to and I remember how nervous I was when I first started posting - now I'm like a homing pigeon and seem to find my way here almost every day. I'm sure all you newbies will soon be feeling right at home too.

Welcome Florrie Bez and Pergola
How amazing Florrieto have 4 GCs when you are younger than my 3 children.See you are in Glastonbury -quite near .I'm in Backwell.Hope we might meet soon -several of us in N Somerset/Bristol -had 2 meet-ups so far.

Florrie, Bez and Pergola hello

Hello Florrie, Bez and Pergola

Hi Florrie lovely to meet you, had a nose at you profile too. Just couln'g help my nosey self. Welcome xxx

Welcome all! I hope you enjoy GN as much as I do.

Hello to all newbies. Hope you like it here but it is quite addictive so take care.

Hello everybody especially, the newcomers. I'm quite new to gransnet as well and still finding my way around although already addicted. Pergola nice to hear you are moving to Hampshire. There doesn't seem to be many gransnetters around here.

Hello Florrie, Bez and Pergola.
I notice that you are from Somerset Florrie. Please drop by your Gransnet Local Page as the editor is quite lonely on the local forums and you could help by introducing yourself there and perhaps adding a favourite local business or two to the free listings.

Welcome Florrie, Bez and Pergola hope to see you around.

Oh am definitely quite mad, although mostly harmless!
Thanx for the welcome everyone and a big 'hello'! to all the other new members too xxx

Yes Galen, a few of us are inflicted with this condition. On the whole I am fairly harmless.
