Me too. Is Lara South African or Australian?
I detected a twang in her accent.
The ubiquitous bookcase in the background. ??

I saw her too. She did represent us well, pitt.

Welcome bookbaby2. You could try the good morning thread if you haven't already.

I have a thing about the bookcase background, gabriella. Didn't we have a thread about it?

Welcome Bookbaby2. Why not tell us where you are and what the weather's like on the Good Morning thread.

I have asked GNHQ to make the clip of ‘Lara on the BBC’ available for us all to view ...

If you're gonna have a bookcase, have a big one full of interesting books that we have to screw our necks into unnatural poses in order to read the titles.

I sometimes have bookcase envy nowadays! Very distracting!?

Just seen Lara on TV this morning and this was the first time I found out about gransnet. So I’ve signed up straightaway as I am one of those grandparents who does masses of childcare and now going through the challenges of keeping in touch.

It was either the bookcase or our laundry airer! I spared you seeing a family's worth of pants grin.
Here's a link to iPlayer - it's on around 8:25. Watching yourself on TV is definitely worse than hearing a recording of yourself. blush

Ooh that was early! Were you in your jammies? Saw Rafe Spall on the other day pictured in front of what looked like a bar. He said it was more appropriate to what he was doing in lockdown!

Thanks for the link Lara - I found it.
And I agree with the others that you gave a balanced and positive view of Gransnet. So many different opinions on here.
