Just wondering. . . where are we all?

ohh Nellie it was brilliant! looking back now its like thinking about the good old days...we had some good times..I do wonder where some of the original posters have gone..

(do you remember my "inflatable friends") lol been so long Ive forgot their names...I know one floated away when I slept under the pier at Blackpool I woke up in the morning..and saw him (yes it was a him) floating away in in the distance .

I'm in Belfast. This is my first post! I have been enjoying reading recent posts and hopefully this will get me started.

Bedford.

Suzied - you're quite close to me. My DGC go to school there.
Madgran - whereabouts are you?
There are five of us now on this thread from SE London. Could we set up a local group or even have a meet up?

Welcome to GN, mh58. I hope you enjoy it! Have you looked at the newbies' thread? www.gransnet.com/forums/gransnet_cafe/1238702-Welcome-to-Gransnet?pg=3&order=

I'm in West Yorkshire - any neighbours on here?

Moira, I'm in Beckenham. We had a Bromley local editor for a short while, who had lots of good ideas but she seems to have disappeared from the scene. A local group covering a wider area could be a good idea. Suzied we often go to the La Bruschetta cafe at Crystal Palace.

Magie, I'm a neighbour of sorts, in South Yorkshire on the border with West Yorkshire.

Oh, good! I'll give you a wave next time I'm on high ground, Katey!

And to the others across Yorkshire - Greyduster, hulahoop, Kupari45, oldgoat, maybe Moneyboss , and any I may have missed. I'm a Geordie by birth, so am still a bit of an incomer here after a mere 45 years.

maggiemaybe Fancy a Yorkshire GN meet-up some time?

Surrey previously lived all my life in South Wales

Fancy a Yorkshire GN meet-up some time?

I would, oldgoat, though with current commitments I could only do a Tuesday, or occasionally a Friday. Perhaps we should start a new thread on the Meet Ups forum?

maggiemaybe Is Thirsk too far for you to travel? kupari is trying to organise a Yorkshire meetup on the 22nd August at the Garden Centre near Thirsk.

Is there anyone near Glasgow?

I was Glasgow born and raised , Marydoll ...but a long time gone. I have lived on the Herts/ Essex borders for over 30 years and also spend half the year at my home in Southern Spain.

I don't often post , but I do enjoy reading everyone's posts every day.

"Dee" , you can take the girl out of Glasgow, but you can never take Glasgow out of the girl...or so they say. I wouldn't know

Ah, we're away that week, oldgoat. Thirsk would have been just about possible for me, but as I'd be on the train somewhere like Leeds or York would be easier for a future meet.

Am I the only one from Chelmsford Essex.

Recently moved to Caddington, near Luton, after 37 years in NW London.

maggiemaybe Sorry that you can't make the meet-up next week. I have been to several in Scotland where my daughter lives and am determined to organise a meet-up closer to home. It's such a pleasure to spend time chatting to other Grans. York is full of potential meeting places. Perhaps we can plan something for after the school hols.? I'll speak to the other people at the Thirsk meet-up and try to agree a date.

That would be great, oldgoat. Enjoy your day!

So you've moved Ellen? Easier to come along to Edinburgh meet ups?
There's one next week...

Ellen My DH and son are playing golf in East Lothian today, the weather seems to be lovely there today, from looking at the photo they sent. It's not very nice over here in the west. . Lucky you!
