Hi, just saying hello as I'm new here. I'm not actually a grandparent but I'm over 50!! I live in Bournemouth Dorset. I love the sea, reading a good book and the country side. I look forward to meeting new people online. ☺

Hi Karan and welcome to the forum.Also, try looking at the local section of Gransnet in case there is a real life meet up near you.I am in Oxfordshire, and have been to several meet ups, which have all been great.smile

Hi and welcome smile there are others here who are not grandparents we have few men too. I too like living by the sea but in Kent.
The cafè is a good place to start, you might also like to introduce yourself on the newcomers thread.

Another thread where you will be very welcome is soop's kitchen. It may take a bit of getting used to because most of us "know" each other, including the name age and state of pets! Try it and see.

Hi Karanlouise and welcome. I'm jealous Dorset is one of my favourite places to spend time. You'll find plenty to interest you around Gransnet.

Hi. We lived in Dorset for many years. First in Poole and then in Wareham. I still miss going to Studland with the dogs out of the tourist season - but I don't miss the crowds in the summer! Does Bournemouth still get all the teenagers learning English?

Hi Badenkate, we started off in Poole too. Not as many tennagers learning English now days as there isn't as much funding for them as there used to be. I know what you mean about the crowds in the summer, we try to find places the tourists don't know about. Love Studland and the Purbecks. ☺
