hello

Good morning Grandma Matson, Thanks for your letter.It's a much better day thank goodness so I'm off for my Weetabix!!
I'm perfectly mobile but stopped driving last year after a session of depression. No concentration! Vital! I live in Redcar, close to Locke Park and Coatham beach, in a Coast and Country bungalow after selling my house in Eston. The bungalow is tiny (no hoarding) but the surrounding plot is wonderful and big enough for a marquee.
I note that you are into meditation. Have a look on web site www.cygnus-books.co.uk I have a friend who passes her mags on to me and this time I notice some rather strange publications.After reading them, I rather liked some of the spiritual articles, some I didn't connect to, but there was some beautiful poetry as part of the letter page. I havn't looked at the site yet, just the magazines
I used to be part of a group called Second Youth at Eston Leisure Centre and played badminton, walked and went swimming. Also very much into Tai Chi. However, depression stopped me in my tracks, I didn't want to know anyone and people find that hard to understand. All is well now and am waiting for Redcar to get it's leisure centre up and running.The sun is shining again for me!!
Best wishes.

hello annegr nice to hear from you again, thanks for advice but cant seem to see the wonky arrow button! to start a profile page I think I went to my gransnet and there is a page for your info. I,m 61 and 2/3 months! retired staff nurse. I joined gransnet after my husband died a few years ago, but I,m not a regular poster, it can be quite intimidating at times, and I do find it difficult to share my feelings, more so with strangers. my grandchildren are brilliant and are a constant joy as well as a pain sometimes, your grandson sounds an intelligent soul. are you mobile, fit and able? or do you just not like going shopping? my sister does her food shop online at asda and says she looks forward to see what the substitute items are that week!!!!!!!!!! we really should get out more. can I ask how local are you? talk soon x

Hello Matson, You sound to be a very experienced grandma with 4! I have just the one who is very nearly 7 and more intelligent than me. I am his cross to bear or so his tone of voice implies. When he sighs and says "Grandma" I know I'm in for some education.One visit I made, I was treated to a lecture on the Ancient Greeks, alongside one about the workings of the kidney.This was all at the same time!
I received my monthly Tesco shopping yesterday-almost perfect. I intended to buy Weetabix(for his sleepover end of June) but got Weetabix biscuits instead. They are nice but I don't give biscuits for breakfast.Next time I go to Morrisons I will get some, the conventional way.

I see you've got a profile.How did you do that? I'm a retired Local Gov.worker, used to be in Housing and am 73.Love poetry,art and books of all description. Love to hear from you again.

hello annegr how lovely to find a local GN at last, I had just about given up hope! like you I am a novice to technology and just press buttons and call for help when it goes wrong. you are cleverer than me, I haven,t shopped on line, I just get my son to order what I want on his account. I have 4 grandchildren and love spending time with them - tiri ng as it is sometimes, hope your copybook is unbotted soon! I like reading, cats, meditation,going for meal, films etc, although I only have a yard I do enjoy gardening! excuse my ramble, I cant remember how to do paragraphs looking forward to chatting to you again x

hello Matson, Yes, there is at least me out here in this part of the world. I am very new to this technology but am determined to learn. My latest tech achievement was to do a monthly shop at Tesco and it really did arrive and just as I ordered. Lovely quality of veg and fruit. My sister in law said they would get rid of their rubbish that way but it is just the opposite.
It will soon be the summer holidays. Need I say more? Are you involved very much with grandchildren? I used to be but seem to have been put on the back burner lately. Must've blotted my copybook.
I like gardening,coffee shops and chatting. Have just been on a basics computer course-much good that did me. However, I did get a certificate!!
Maybe you will chat back and let me practice using this site. It could be that I will never find you again because I've already forgotten how I arrived here in the first place.
Best wishes.
