The Profile Substitute Thread

I am 66 and I am another retired teacher. I live in Stirling and I have one husband, two children and two granddaughters who are cousins aged 4.

I found this site a couple of months ago and I am endlessly entertained and informed by the great posts from all you lovely Gnetters. Will look for a photo worth publishing.

Ooops! Lost pic but will try again.

I'm 67 and gran to 4 , ages 5 to 18. Yet another retired teacher . Born and brought up in Dundee, uni at St Andrews about the same time as Alea. Worked in London for a while then returned to Dundee. Happy that my 3 grown-up Dcs live locally though I realise that may not last forever!

kitty and harri, thanks, it went well!

Phew!, Harrigan. Hope you can relax and celebrate your anniversary.

Good news Harri! Bet you are releived. Enjoy your belated celebration!

I am 68, currently live in Lancashire and have 5 grandchildren aged 8 and under. Searched for a recent photo and cropped one from last year (if it works). Have lost a lot more hair since then!

Thanks, Consultant was great he let me talk and he explained everything. No invasive procedures.. phew.

I'm 69 Been on Gransnet just over a year. It is so nice seeing so many photos, alas try as I might I cannot post one. Just as well really, suffice to say I will be flying around with Crafting on Halloween.

Lovely photo of you Baubles
I've got hair envy

Hope all goes well this evening, Harri.

Good photo, Baubles.

Lovely thread.

I'm 61 with 2.5 grandchildren, one cat and one dog.

I love being in the woods or by the sea with aforementioned dog and/or DH/child.

A bit of a 'starter', I've many unfinished projects on the go. I'm fairly good at lots of things, expert at nothing. When I sing (which I love to do) people cover their ears in pain so if I could change one thing about myself it would be that.

My photo isn't great quality but I have very few of me as I'm usually the one wielding the camera. It is recent though.

Many thanks for kind thoughts, we were supposed to be in Yorkshire today, celebrating, but seeing Gastroenterologist tonight. Hotel kindly transferred our booking to tomorrow. DD, who lives abroad, sent beautiful bouquet.

Oops! Sorry Lona! Hope op goes well.

Congratulations on your long marriage Harri and congratulations to Lona on seeing the losers for what they were! Hope it goes well today!

What a lovely thread! I am 71 in December, retired teacher (how many of us are there?), one DD, one DS, and 2 beautiful GS's. Born in Aberdeen, brought up in Dundee, started teaching in Edinburgh where I met my DH, married had two children then went abroad for twenty years ( his work). We live in a thatched cottage in North Bucks in a small friendly village and I am a school governor, play croquet, do tapestry, sew, look after DGS's when required and love the theatre and dining out. DH is into wine and so am I

shysal thank you for that kind thought but... He's long gone, and the one after him is too!
I'm celebrating by getting my knee fixed today

Happy 48th anniversary to Harrigan and Lona! Hope you both have a great day.

Lovely photo Lefthanded.
And likewise, Newist, the fresh air seems to suit you.
