Hello! I just joined and so just saying "hello" from deepest, darkest Devon!

Beachee Sun 21-Oct-12 19:15:47

Jeni. I work for Tourist Information in Exeter so could sort something out?

jeni Sun 21-Oct-12 19:33:26

Excellent idea. But for heavens sake make sure that meet is licensed and disabled accessible. Please!

Ariadne Sun 21-Oct-12 20:02:21

Yes!!!! grin

Beachee Sun 21-Oct-12 20:33:36

No problem! smile

Hi there! I'm in Torquay. Been in this beautiful area since 1965 and apart from coping with the breakdown of my 40 year marriage, I love it here.

Hi Nansypansy nice to make your acquaintance grin Sorry to hear of your marriage breakdown that is sad after such a long time,

Nansypansy Sun 28-Oct-12 06:23:25

Yes, it's difficult living under the same roof as the house isn't selling.

Jodi Sun 28-Oct-12 06:59:47

I can imagine nansypansy and sorry to hear that. Welcome.

Grannyeggs Sun 28-Oct-12 07:22:41

Welcome nansypansy, sory to hear about the sad news of your marriage breakdown especially after so long. Keep strong, it will get better, flowers

Sbagran Sun 28-Oct-12 15:13:41

(((Hugs))) Nansypansy - judging by the ungodly hour of your first post I gather times are hard at the moment. Hang on in there, things have a strange way of working out. Must be really hard being under the same roof - is there no chance of reconciliation? You will find lots of friends and support on GN. flowers

Sbagran Sun 28-Oct-12 15:14:40

Sorry Nansypansy just re-read my post above - didn't mean to pry so don't respond if you're not comfortable.blush

jeni Sun 28-Oct-12 15:38:33

Hello there, another southwester! We're thinking of organising a meet after that c word which were not allowed to name!

Hi Beachee I'm in Norfolk. Had some lovely holidays on a farm in Devon. All warm and light and summery. Mmmmmm!

NfkDumpling Sun 28-Oct-12 17:05:22

Sorry Nansypansy I posted after the first page before I read the second. Didn't mean to sound frivolous. flowers wine

Beachee Sun 28-Oct-12 23:02:49

Ah dear, sorry to hear that Nansypansy.

I am in a little village in North Somerset - would love a meet up a bit closer than Birmingham! (Although I did enjoy it!)
