Here you are new people😊

Let us know a bit about yourselves and I’m sure you will get replies.

I’m an oldie - been on GN since 2011 - I was 65 at the time now 80 😮😮😮. I’m one of the ones who have fierce arguments about politics etc, but I also love gardening, nature in all its glory, reading, food and art history and history.Not necessarily in that order😄.

I think that many on GN have made very close friends on this site, which they seem to value very much.

I am in awe at some of the creativity I see.

Welcome and make yourselves known

Hello 🙋‍♀️

I joined 10 years ago, plucked up the courage to post a year later.

Currently collapsed on my sofa after being at a local beach with two grandsons, if only it was wine o’clock

I started this for new peeps. I wonder if there is a way to keep it in focus to keep them welcome?

Been on for ever. I remember GreatGran. Anyone else?

But rarely post any more.

Hello and welcome thanks

I am relatively new, compared to many, but feel comfy and at home here and I hope you newbies do too.

PS Really nice post created, thanks WW2 thanks

Sorry WWM - I guess you’re trying to get those new posters who say they feel ignored to ‘introduce themselves’.

I wonder there is a way for GNHQ to highlight this 'Welcome to Gransnet' thread on, say, its 'About' section or similar?

New people browsing to explore what it's all about or how it all works might find it helpful to get started by clicking on WWM2's thread, if it all looks a bit overwhelming at first sight.

I’ve been in around six years dip in and out. Do like the positive threads though they give you hope.
