I confess - I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms because I am away from home and the connection in the apartment here is patchy.
It is not just the fun of chatting though - I have made some very real friends through Gransnet, some of whom I have had the pleasure of meeting. If I lived in England, I would probably travel long distances to join in the meetings. (I drove 414 miles last week to get from the Alps to the Pyrenees, so a couple of hundred miles would not deter me!)

No, this is not about bereavement, but perhaps a similar feeling of "Was it something I/we said?" I too have tried to pm a GNetter only to be told that is not a valid nickname, so susiecb and littlenellie why did you go?
Of course it is your prerogative and I don't mean to be nosey, but it is sad, especially when you suspect there might be trouble at home and can no longer send support. So if either of you is out there under a different name - I wish you well and still hope it wasn't something we said 
And I'm going!

I'm now in bed with my iPhone
Self control? Moi?

Well, whenever I come on, you lot are usually here somewhere, so - yes, there are a good couple of dozen, I'll bet! 
There's probably a couple of dozen more, too.....
Yes Anno of course I had - I just can't help feeling that you others probably have more self-control than I do

Am I the only one suffering from GN addiction then?
Take lots of photos. Kings Lynn is a lovely town. Just the place for a gathering of lovely GNetters.
