Welcome to Gransnet

Thank you.
Self isolating senior.

Welcome- join the club! Another "gentle" post is soop's kitchen. Most of us have "known" each other for many years and some have been to meetups but I promise you will receive a warm welcome.

Welcome, Rosalyn69. Another nice thread I’ve just been on is one started by Pantglas2 asking what little treats we are all doing to cheer us up today. Worth a look. ?

Thank-you, I’m v glad to be here.

Just feeling my feet. Thank you.

Good Rosalyn it takes a while because some of the threads are very fast moving- others go at a more leisurely pace.

Thanks. I understand that. ?

Gmorning everyone. Im new. Just trying to stay positive.

Not been here long but it has helped me so much at the moment. The GNs on here are lovely and supportive and if you live alone it is a huge comfort.

Welcome to new members, hope GN helps in these troubled times. There is some light relief on here.

Welcome Grateful & AGAA4. Take you time and look around- hopefully something will interest you.

We usually encourage meetups but these have been temporarily suspended in these troubled times.

Please forgive the user name! I am already tiring of being referred to as 'elderly'. I always thought the 60's were the new 50's! I have literally just joined the site so 'hello' to one and all.

Welcome almostelderly. Just read what I have advised others to do above and you will find your way around.

Thanks for the welcome. Just navigating the site and wanted to say a big “hello”.

Thank you

Wigtown and Pikachu welcome- enjoy the threads, there are some very kind people on GN who will help you if required.

Thank you again.

hi, I have been meaning to register on GN for some time as a start in trying to break out of my self imposed isolation due to depression and anxiety. In a way, this Covid crisis has pushed me into action. A virtual community to restore a sense of connection with others. Thank you for being here.

Funkylady If you feel up to it, come and join us on the Black Dog thread in heath. You will get a warm welcome and good advice if needed.

Hi I can sympathise. Moved to help look after my little grandson on non nursery days. Left friends and neighbours behind and now in self isolation. Just found out about GN this morning pushed myself to join. Finding my way around as yet but loving the conversations I’ve seen. Thanks so much.

Wigtown There are two other threads where you will be warmly welcomed and will not get your head bitten off and they are Good Morning and soop's kitchen. We are all in this together and we will get through it.

Hello everyone. I have just joined. I am looking forward to being part of the community. Just one thing though - I am in my 60s but have no grandchildren just two adult single children at home. Is that alright?

Welcome Baggyjumper- of course that is absolutely fine. I have no children therefore no grandchildren so please do not give a thought to it!

Hello all
Also new to Gransnet, looking forward to making new (virtual) friends!
