Soops kitchen, a place of reflection, refuge and at times revelry.

It feels odd to have a kitchen without our founder.

We shall carry on as she would have wished.

Supporting each other and sharing our ups and downs 😘🥂🫖☕️🍰

Just reading the support offered on the kitchen sometimes made life better, even though it wasn’t aimed at me.
Keep going.

Yes, the kitchen must continue with the same ethos - it's so supportive and friendly and by far the best bit of Gransnet! I don't post often, having little to say, but always look for it to find out how everyone is.

I agree. I thought that this thread would appear strange and it does to me at present but once we start our chatter, hopefully the nostalgia will leave me.

Onwards and upwards. Please ignore me.

Welcome to the new kitchen! I expect we’ll all start flooding back soon. Such a cosy, supportive and gentle place. 💐🍮🍩🍾🌹

Thank you, Grannygravy, for opening our new Kitchen. It still feels strange without our dear Soop but her spirit endures here in the welcome and support offered by so many lovely Kitchen folk, old and new.

I've brought some lentil soup and shortbread because it's been colder today, the heating is back on! Help yourselves. 🥰

Wishing everyone a peaceful Tuesday evening, thinking of you all, especially those the Quiet Corner. Kind thoughts to MrSoop and Baggs. TOYA.

Sending love and thoughts to Baggs who has lost a dear friend and a much loved daughter 💔

A new Kitchen is Soop’s legacy to us, I feel. Thank you GrannyGravy.

I’ll try to pop in a bit more frequently than of late. It’s been hard yards here after losing Dh, and I felt I’d lost track of everyone’s story in the previous kitchen so couldn’t comment.

I’ve brought iced peach tea and cheese straws for everyone to enjoy. Xx

I don’t post these days but I often read Soop’s kitchen. Thank you for the new chapter GG!

Thinking of those in the quiet corner and those who are not feeling up to posting at the moment.

Thank you GrannyGravy for opening another aptly named thread. Our dear soop would have approved.
Lovely words in the closing posts of the last kitchen.
We all think fondly of soop, MrSoop &, of course Baggs.

I'm usually in the quiet corner these days, but love to keep in touch.
Warm thoughts for you all. x

I don’t post here often but it’s such a lovely part of Gransnet and a legacy dear soop has left for us.
Thank you GrannyGravy .
Kind thoughts of mrsoop and Baggs. They must be missing soop so badly.
Scottish shortbread on the side - help yourselves kitchen’ers.

Thanks GG13 for opening and the words of FGT closing the old kitchen.
A few bottles of fizz on the side to toast those we miss and cheers for the kitchen.

Hi everyone, I too will try to post more often. I hope McSporran and Baggs are ok.

DH has cooked tonight. It was delicious - he can do that again.
