I am in the U.S. lol It appears to me this is a site in the UK basically. Love reading your posts, but since I am not in the UK was wondering should I be here. You'd think a Yank could find something as interesting as what you have going here in the states wouldn't you? hahahaha (blushing)

Welcome, I’m glad you got to see and enjoy our green and pleasant land (mostly pleasant ?) for yourself. We are a small Island with a big heart.

Thank you everyone very much! I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting England awhile back. I toured the northern towns and stayed clear of the bigger main attractions. I had so much fun! I had many many hysterical conversations with many people. I wanted to see the heart of England, I do believe I was granted that wish.

Welcome WhiteElephant. And anyone else from abroad.
It's great to get a different perspective.

I peek into Gransnet from Italy, White Elephant. It helps me keep my finger in the pie.

Hi WhiteElephant you are welcome on Gransnet. We have people from all over the world on here. Like mokryna I live in France but have family in America.
I'm hoping to visit USA in a couple of months for my grandson's wedding. World situation permitting of course.

mokryna Mon 14-Mar-22 15:54:58

Welcome, I live in France. It is very interesting to hear other people’s points of view from different countries.

NotSpaghetti Mon 14-Mar-22 15:50:06

Yes, welcome.
Some of us have family in America and some of us have lived there and maintain an interest.

Yes, it's surprising that this seems to be the only English speaking site for (mostly) grandparents. A while after I became a gran, I went looking to see what sites there were for general information and support, and this was the only one I found.
And I've found it useful and entertaining, so glad I joined.
