We just wanted to wish a warm welcome to all new members of Gransnet. flowers

In these difficult times, whether you are self-isolating or just looking for friendly chat as a distraction from the constant bad news, having an online community available at all hours of the day and night has never been more important. Gransnet users are always ready to offer support, conversation and (virtual) company.

So please pour yourself a cuppa (or a wine) and use this thread to introduce yourself. brew And if you get stuck we have a page on getting started, which you can find here.

Also, if you're looking for an easy first thread to post on, look out for the regular Good Morning thread where users greet each other every morning.

Also welcome AussieNanna, a fellow Aussie. Sometimes we express ourselves differently but people understand and are very welcoming here.

Hello, Gransnet. First of all I have to admit I'm not a gran, nor a mum or even a wife. I'm just a single retired 62-year-old who is looking for something more age-appropriate than Facebook and Twitter. I share a house with my 86-year-old mother. Hope I can contribute to the conversation sometimes.
