Hello all Grans in the area in and around in Milton Keynes. A few of us met up in John Lewis front cafe a couple of months ago and we decided to meet again on July 4th. We are hoping that a few more people can come this time. I would prefer to meet at 10.00 am this time as I have to get back for a meeting in the early afternoon but it depends what others prefer.
Do we have any takers?

Oh god here we go again.
What you are suggesting is unwise, potentially dangerous and just such a bad idea.
What do you want?
Childcare?
If you truly want to befriend an elderly person why not volunteer or visit a local care home?
To paraphrase JFK I think
“Ask not what an elderly person can do for you, but what you can do for them. “

Hi we live in northamptonshire, and im currently seeking for surrogate grandparents for our 2 girls. Me and my husband dont have proper family and we want someone who can bond,care and love our children. Family times are so lonely

Hello Milton Keynes and area Gransnetters! I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the meet up on Thursday 13th after all. I hope you all have a lovely time and will catch up with you on another occasion.

Another enjoyable meet this morning. Thanks ladies see you in September.

Yes, it was great. Enjoyed the chat. And our numbers swelled from four to seven! Maybe even more will join us next time on Thurrsday Sept 13th (I think that's the day we agreed on before I had to rush off?)

It was lovely to meet you all this morning. I think I've memorised everyone's name, and I'm looking forward to next time!

And last time we knew each other by some weird Gran instinct!
(I agree about no complaining about the weather!)

Look forward to meeting people tomorrow morning.

I will be the short, grey haired lady going round the tables checking out which group you might be!

Well I've pm'd several people who showed an interest previously but most can't come unfortunately.
Will see those of you who can come on wednesday -looking forward to it. Hopefully will recognise some of you this time!
