Greetings from Devon!

I typed smile because I thought the smiley face would appear... but it didn't ! I will try again.
smile

Still did not work.. is it me?

henetha, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find instructions on how to do the 'smileys'. You have to put the word smile between the square brackets [ ].

Welcome Beachee. There seems to be so many of you down there in the sunny south of England, I am in Inverness, North of Scotland, have not been able to contact anyone from my area, so I am joining you lot. Hope you enjoy GN, its great.

Thank you, annodomini. It's the brackets! I forgot them!

Hi Thistledoo. Welcome to Devon! I toured all around Inverness a couple of times and it's beautiful.

Cornwall here, not living up to it's reputation at the moment, very dull and grey today.

Bit dull and grey here in North Devon too!

The bad news? Rain is possible.
The good news? At least I won't have to drag the hosepipe around the garden.
Anyone on here living near Newton Abbot?

I'd be interested too. I live near plymouth

We are on the meet up case! Watch this space (or another one..)

Hello Atqui
I live in Plymouth

Hi Babs .if there's a meet up we could go together!

Hi, I live in a small village just outside Exeter. We moved from Lancashire nearly 37 years ago and never regretted it. Love to meet up with other Gransnetters any time.

follygirl there is a meet next Friday, at the Mill on the Exe. Ariadne and Grannylin have organised it!

Do come if you can, follygirl. Just send me a private message.

Hi! Just joined, living in Umberleigh, so near to Joy and Ariadne. Love Devon, my home county - born in Bideford, to which we go frequently to shop at wonderful Morrisons. South Molton market on Thursdays is excellent - Joy, have you tried the pheasant products? They are stupendous. Maybe we could have a meetup sometime???

Hello Beachee from a Gran living just outside Bideford. How lovely to find that so many of you live so near.
Please may I be included in the meet up if it goes ahead?

nannyfran I have sent you a private message. (if you are new, the inbox is at the top of the page.)

My cousin (!) runs the book stall at South Molton market

demdyke I have sent you a pm too!

I can see a Bideford get together approaching... Anyone else?

After Christmas!

Me me me!

OK! phoenix Shall we look at this?

Hi nannyfran
Where are you? Nice to know there are several od us in N Devon.

Count me in too after Christmas, but I'll have to come on the train/bus - it's too far out of my comfort zone to drive there.
