The Profile Substitute Thread

TriciaF A tractor driving granny, That would really make my DGSs look up to me. Can I borrow it?

nonnasusie That's a lovely happy photo and he's a big boy for 2 weeks old!

Nelliemoser - our gandchildren loved it too. We let them try driving it, with one of us sitting beside them, but they found it hard to reach and put pressure on the pedals.
When we sold it they tried the siton mower but we had to stop them as they were wrecking the motor! Revving up all the time.
Wish they were here now, but they're far away in Kuwait.

I'm 72, live in Hertfordshire, married 48 years, two daughters, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren (latest one in pic).

Ooh petallus I love your hair, I can't wait for mine to go snow white like yours! Baby is gorgeous too!

Oh thank you Lona. It's actually a bit more yellowy that it looks in pic.

This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago to show my daughter how well the coat she bought me for my birthday suits me. Not brilliant quality as it was taken on my iPad.
It's lovely seeing the photo's, but I expect I shall forget what you all look like quite quickly and only really remember those of you I've actually met - I do find it harder to remember faces than I used to.

Oops - forgot to say...
I live in a delightful Devonshire seaside town, but was born in Manchester. Married to the Wonderful Man for 29 years; three daughters, two sons and six grandchildren (three of each).

petallus that is just how I imagined you looking. (I think I must have some sort of sixth sense! )

I see Merlotgran has dumped her dog in favour of the wine. She's got her priorities right now.

Love the trousers, petallus.

Cheers. annesixty.l You are only a few weeks older than me, - we are almost twins! I've read through carefully and can't find anyone else admitting to being older than us!
I will post a photo when I can figure out how to do it. I'm still a hands on grandmother, my youngest being 13, and am always busy.

Henetha - I think I said earlier that I'm the oldest up to now - 80 next year! I can hardly believe it.

It is a lovely coat roses, my daughter has much better taste than me and is willing to spend more too - lucky me!!
