Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
Hello!
<pokes head over political threads parapet to assess whether or not it's safe to tie up the last of the (apolitical) bunting>...
in preparation for....
..our very own Gransnet Great Get Together! This Sunday 18th June around midday we will be taking part in the nationwide celebrations, in honour of the late Jo Cox and her belief that we have #MoreInCommon.
We would like to invite you all to bring your own Pimms or tipple of choice and a plate of virtual goodies and come join the fun. If you’re up to baking, we’ve got some tasty recipe ideas…
We’ll be giving away spot PRIZES and sharing silly gifs. We invite you all to share a joke, a funny or heartwarming story or just let us know what you’re up to.
If you prefer to meet up with people nearby in real life there’s plenty happening nationwide. You can check out a local Great Get Together here. Or check out your Gransnet Local page to see if anything’s been organised by a local editor.
There’s been so much sadness in recent weeks and this is the perfect opportunity to show our support for each other and our communities. We hope to see you here on Sunday - bunting lovers or not. 
Heather I love all things Ginger
Any chance of letting me in to the secret of your ginger cheese cake
pleeese
Not strictly cake but jelly terrine for me. With vanilla ice cream of course.
I'll have strictly cake please!
Favourite cake? My Tipsy Ginger Cake - which is a pudding - sorry no photo as haven't made one for a while, but thought this special day deserved a special virtual "cake".
Well, here you are, if you insist, another joke, of the real cake variety...
Once a year my village holds a market for the locals to share their wares. I baked a couple of cakes to flog - one was priced at a pound & the other a fiver. A man stopped at my stall & looked at the cakes before pointing at the one costing a fiver & asked "What type of cake is that then?". I replied "That's Madiera cake!"
(Thanks HaHas)
Shall I go now ? 
Took me a minute to get the joke PoshGran
Might take me a while to choose my favourite cake...

3 fave things about parties?
Fun, booze and friends .
Yay, Chewbacca ! 
& 
roses, is it a coincidence that you've just staggered out of the Argy Bargy Bar, having demanded a triple brandy over ice and now your at a genteel garden party and your on iced Pimms? Where will you be going after this, may I ask?
Three favourite things - the food, the company - and the post mortem!
