Somerset Grannies

It is good to see more Grans getting involved and also some recommendations for services etc appearing. Keep up the good work ladies.
Nanban - so sorry you haven't seen your grandchildren for so long or even at all. Our youngest daughter is rather remiss in the communication department. She is lovely when we all get together but never thinks to pick up the phone to ask how things are or just to chat. The other two have got more caring as they have got older so I suppose tere is time for the younger one.
I love you honesty about hating gardening, rain, snow housework and supermarket shopping. I'm certainly with you on the housework front and not far behind you on the rain and snow. However the garden I find quite therapeutic - directly the clocks went forward in the spring I would walk round my garden every evening after work as a way of unwinding from the day. Now I am retired I can do that whenever I like which is a pleasure.

Living in Backwell a large village (on main line to Paddington) I'm only 7 miles from the sea at Clevedon which I can get to very easily by bus

Hello Somerset Grans, I'm S.Somerset just outside Sherborne - been here for nearly 6 years now and it is a lovely place to be - I hate gardening, rain, snow, housework and supermarket shopping. Our youngest is currently in Bristol; our oldest son - somewhere in Europe with our two grandchildren, one of whom we haven't seen at all, and the other we haven't seen for coming up for 3 years. Life should be perfect of course, and isn't.

Hi, I'm new to the site and am glad to see someone else has posted, bit of a fraud really as my grandson is not due until June. I'm in the north east of Somerset in the Chew Valley, cold and grey today and I'm not going out in my garden either.

Burnham should suit you well then! Good luck with the home search,

I want the sea. I can't afford to go back to Sussex where I grew up, and anyway I have friends in North Somerset. And I hate gardening:-)

Yggdrasil,
you will love it here in Somerset and if you dont find what you want in Burnham take a look at Bridgwater, I bought a bungalow here on an over 55s site(think it should have said over 65 to be honest)but its a pretty little complex gardens are tended by the gardeners except the small back gardens, unles it is grassed of course in which case that too is cut and taken care of by the gardeners so all in all ideal.Your username intrigues me what does it mean? is it welsh? I am off to Malta for 2 weeks on wednesday so doubt if I will get your reply before then so I will just end by wishing you good luck in your search,Worlie

Quite windy at Burnham and garden soil is dreadful if you are a gardener. Wouldn't be my first choice in Somerset but we all want different things. Very crowded on warm sunny days and school holidays. I'm sure others will have different points of view. Sorry if we confuse you!

Right now I am in Worcestershire, but my house is on the market and I am looking to buy in Burnham. Any advice? :-)

HI SUE WELL HERES ANOTHER GRAN TO ADD TO YOUR LIST, IM IN BRIDGWATER WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? smile
