anyone near Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva ?

Hope you find someone nearby tinker, so am bumping this along and up as one of our number lives in Switzerland though not sure where.

You could try pm-ing Jura2 who lives in Switzerland, near the French border.

Thank you silverlinings and MawBoom for your help. Will let you know how I get on.

My daughter lives abroad, where there is quite a large British ex pat community. The same in France and Spain. Have you thought of advertising locally or looking online. Might work. Good luck.

Dear silverlinings48,
Thanks for replying. I have tried looking on line, and to be honest the American Women's Club doesn't appeal at the moment - lack of confidence on my part.
I shall continue to spread my wings wider as your message has made me start to.
Many thanks.

Go for it Tinkerbell, nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good luck.

Dear Tinkerbell, I used to live in Geneva so beautiful. Might fly over and have coffee with you sometime.will look at a map and see which area you are suggesting. We used to live near the French border.

Dear Loopyloo,
About 18 minutes from the airport. 5 mins from French border. Where do you live in UK ?

Tinker bell, I live in East London. If you are ever over here do let me know! But I might hope on a plane one day. We did arrive in Geneva in October and Saleve looked so beautiful as the trees turned.

I don’t know if you can pick up the signal for Radio Monte Carlo which transmits in also from Paris.

Lots of info for ex pats re meet ups and events all over France which if you are only 5mins from the border may be of interest to you

Try the frequency 104.2 (Lyon)

Bon chance

Thank you Agus. I'll give it a try.
best wishes.
