Hey All

I hope your all keeping safe in this awful time?
I'm quite new to this site, so just having a look what its all about and to hopefully use this site to get through xmas.

I live one minute from Tower Bridge, so have lovely walks which will help.

Welcome, EvieJ!

Many of us have found this site to be really helpful in the dark days of this year. I hope you enjoy browsing the various threads. Something for everyone!

Welcome Eve, i’m quite new myself....?

Hi Evie. Welcome.
You are one minute from Tower Bridge! I do envy you. I haven't been in London for about 18 months. Last time we visited Hampton Court and loved it.

Gransnet keeps me company and gets me through many difficult days when I have little energy and more so at the present moment when contact with friends and family is very limited. I hope it does the same for you.

That’s good, hope you have some treats planned. You can’t delete messages, you have to click on ‘report’ then just type in the text box that you made a mistake and want it deleted. It’s not very sophisticated forum software I’m afraid ?

Hi eviej welcome from me too
Unfortunately because we very old ladies (and men) we re not allowed to edit our own mistakes so I wouldn’t worry too much we won’t notice it

Hi, Evie and welcome. I'm a born and bred Londoner but have not visited for some time due to the virus. I can imagine your view at night must be fantastic.

Jaxjacky Wed 23-Dec-20 20:20:32

EvieJ welcome, if you can, joking the Good Morning thread, a gentle start to the day.

EvieJ Wed 23-Dec-20 20:33:30

Hey Blossoming

EvieJ welcome, if you can, joking the Good Morning thread, a gentle start to the day.

Hey Jaxjacky

So i'm guessing, people put little comments in the morning, to start their day
Nice idea, lets hope we all stay positive this xmas

Welcome EvieJ always good to have new posters on GN. Don't worry about making mistakes we all do it and sometimes gives us something to laugh about.
There are ups and downs here but that makes it interesting, no need to get involved with anything you don't like.

Thank you.
Nice to know i'm not the only one making mistakes lol
Life is full of ups & downs , so nothing new there but will be something new for me to read or comment on.

I've lived alone for about 7 years so i'm quite used to it.
But now we're all in tier 4, i'm finding it little strange, as can't just pop out and see someone.
This site will help combat the quite times

Hey nadateturbe
Thank you for the reply
London is lovely but very pricey now.
I do love living so close to the bridge, night views are stunning.

Nice to know, this site has helped you through difficult times.
We all need somewhere to go and chat at the moment.
As you say, family and friends are off limits at the moment.

Eve

EvieJ Wed 23-Dec-20 21:08:33

Just to say

Thank you to all those who have replied to my first post and for making me feel welcome.

Good night all
Sleep well
