This is my first time on this or any Forum so please bear with me! My daughter is a member of Netmums, I think that's the one, and suggested that I may enjoy being on Gransnet.
Do I need to introduce myself? We have two children and four grandchildren: they're all lovely and its delightful when they visit us in the northwest, but its also nice when they go back and we can have some peace and quiet!
I'm really looking forward to reading and taking part in the discussions.

Hi, new members. Welcome to the house of fun. Warning though, - it's addictive. I get quite scratchy if I can't have my fix of GN each day.
Seriously, - it's wonderful.

Welcome to Jane71 and Ullabirgitta. I’m English and spend my time between England and and Portugal, although of course it’s been mostly Portugal for the last couple of years.

Welcome to Jane71 and also to Ulla Birgitta, hope you enjoy Gransnet. I am in Boston, Lincolnshire, I read most of the posts every day, but tend to be a bit lazy about posting myself, just now and then.

Welcome Jane and Ullabirgitta. We are nice and friendly on here. My son's partner is Swedish, originally from Stockholm but has been living in the UK for many years. Her sister and family live near Malmo. I have two half Swedish grand-daughters!

Good evening and welcome, Jane71 and Ullabirgitta!
Gransnet has kept me sane during the pandemic, I am sure you will find lots to interest you. I read every day and post occasionally.
