Good morning everyone, I must admit that I'd never heard of 'Gransnet' until somewhere I saw a reference to 'Singing Turnip' and when I Googled it I found a recipe on your page, so here I am.

My hobbies are reading (thank goodness for Kindle, my bookshelves are overflowing), knitting and researching my (and my husband's) ancestors.

Looking forward to meeting new friends and chatting with you all.

Hi Bisto
Enjoy the fun. I found it by chance while googling something too almost a year ago, though I've been a gran for 12 years.
It can be addictive. Just warning you!

Hello and Happy Christmas,
I have been looking at Gransnet since I retired from Nursing 6 months ago and decided to join in. I have one Grandson and a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel

I hope both of them will forgive me for this but I've been wondering all day if Bisto is a relative of GrannyGravy?

I'll get my coat ....
