Joy here 😁 yes Elaine and I have met a few times now, we’ve had some nice days out and I consider her a pal! I understand Marydoll’s caution, though, and Elaine and I did chat for a while before meeting up. It’s harmless if you’re sensible. It’s so hard to make new friends when you’re older, and gransnet is such a boon!

No bother Marydoll. There is no compulsion to join in at all.

However, in order to ever get out there and make some new friends one really has to not regard others as potential enemies who may harm you.

Joy and I are really very friendly and hopefully SA57 will not be put off from getting in touch.

It’s always good to be wary however and thank you for your comment.

I know that other Gransnetters have successfully done this. However, previously they had all been meeting in person and knew each other.

If it was me, I would be wary of giving out my contacts details to someone I was not familiar with.

I would be interested in a zoom group

Two of us gransnetters have met up in Leeds but it is a bit too much of a journey for each of us.

We have decided to create a Skype or zoom call and want to invite anyone else who would like to join in.

We two are interested in forming a travel group as we don’t like holidaying alone. I am retired and a widow and my co-netter has retired but her husband is still working.

If you would like to join in with us, message me and we can try to get the group going.

Looking forward to some happy travels.
