Good afternoon, I have just taken the plunge and joined gransnet after reading many discussions in the forums.
Looking forward to chatting and asking for much needed advice.

Welcome to all new GNers. It's just about getting to know people's personalities, like in real life. But so much support, care and fun. Friends, there 24 hours a day, what more could you want? smile

Hello everyone, I'm new here (been lurking for a while), I've found it very informative, funny, interesting, educational, scarey and sad in equal doses. I am in South Yorkshire, between Wakefield and Barnsley, if anyone fancies a meet up sometime, let me know.

Welcome Kateycrunch I found that it took a while to settle in but I have now been a member for years. There are some exceptionally nice people here.

Welcome Kateykrunchflowers. Your name sounds like a chocolate bar! I am trying to cut out sugar so maybe that is why the thought come to me! I hope you will continue to enjoy GN.

cf I live in S.W.France - the Poitou Charente region. And you?

There are a few of GN-era dotted around France.

Hello Christinefrance what makes you think GN is cliquey? Just join in whatever you fancy commenting on.
We were all newcomers once.

You find you do get to "know" other people after a fashion and in difficult times when they need support and times when you celebrate with them. When after lurking I announced my DSG1 had been born I was overwhelmed by the greetings and good wishes.
There is often a lot of support and good advice for GNrs needing to work out to do in a difficult situation.

Thankyou for your welcomes, I'm getting brave and have posted a few times now, some really interesting and gripping posts, BUT, I feel like a 'Billy no mates', is there really no one in the South/West Yorkshire area, it would be good to arrange a meet up at some time. There doesn't appear to be much detail on the Local GN site (the role of editor for the local page looks a bit too involved).

ffinochio Sorry for the delay. I live in the Limousin, have seen some posts from others who live in France.

Hi TriciaF good to have GN'ers out here too.
